The Best of Ike and Tina Turner is not really a 'greatest hits' album, but a collection of songs, taken from the previously released albums The Hunter and Outta Season - both from 1969. It contains also the Tina written song „I Am A Motherless Child,“ which Tina recorded again in 2014 for the album Love Within (Beyond). The album was reissued on vinyl several times, among others in 2014 as a blue and orange limited edition and in 2022 on red & blue splatter vinyl.
