Ike & Tina Turner - Live! The Ike & Tina Turner Show - Album

Live! The Ike & Tina Turner Show

Album / Singles (1965)

Live! The Ike & Tina Turner Show was shortly released after the album Revue Live from Kent Records. Warner Bros. Records acquired the rights to this similar recording by the label-hopping duo and quickly countered with this album, which reached the top ten of the R&B charts in February 1965, making it the very first album for Ike & Tina on the American charts, reviewed in Billboard magazine in it’s issue from February 06, 1965.

The recording is very raw with vocal performances from Tina, The Ikettes and the Kings of Rhythm. It was recorded live in Texas at the Skyliner Ballroom in Fort Worth and the Lovall's Ballroom in Dallas. The UK release replaced the track „Down In The Valley“ with the song Tell Her I’m Not Home, which was a single the same year. The album was re-issued under the different titles On Stage in England and Something’s Got A Hold On Me in America and selected tracks were issued in 1969 on the sampler Ike & Tina Turner’s Greatest Hits.
