Let Me Touch Your Mind was recorded at Ike’s Bolic Sound studio in July 1972 and features two tracks written by Tina Turner. The album was originally released with a very special deluxe foldout cover, with many artistic pictures from Norman Seeff. He photographed Ike & Tina as well as Tina solo many times. The track „Born Free“ was taken from the same named Columbia motion picture. The album was reviewed in Billboard magazine in it’s issue from February 3, 1973 and was reissued several times, among others in 2011 on the double CD Workin’ Together / Let Me Touch Your Mind.

Their new album, Let Me Touch Your Mind, finds Ike & Tina again doing standard songs, after a long period in which they recorded only originals. Hank Ballard’s „Annie Had A Baby“ meets Carole King’s „Up On The Roof,“ and even „Born Free“ fits in when the Turner’s exciting treatment is applied.
Nobody else in the world knows how to make music, like Ike & Tina. As unique as this cover design, it combines both the roughest and the smoothest qualities of rhythm & blues at its best to produce the unforgettable sound that made classics of songs like „Proud Mary“ and „Honky Tonk Women“ after nobody thought the original versions could be taken any farther. But then it never pays to underestimate Ike & Tina Turner. They’ll get you every time.
