Ike & Tina Turner - The Edge - Album

The Edge

Album / Demo (1980)

The Edge features the very last Ike & Tina recordings with lead vocals from Tina Turner on the a-side and Ike Turner compositions without Tina on the b-side. The tracks with lead vocals from Tina were recorded already in 1975 at the Acid Queen recording session, but stayed unreleased. The instrumental part was played by Home Grown Funk, a popular Memphis group in the '70s. After Tina’s comback, all five songs with lead vocals by Tina have been reissued on a Mini album.
