Ike and Tina Turner- Star Collection

DSCN2504Hey.  Another week gone.  This was $5.00.  It is a German record of Ike and Tina Turner playing live on what I guess was marketed as the “Star Collection” by Midi Records, a product of WEA Music, Gmbh.ikeandtinainside

There is nothing funny about domestic abuse and Ike was a pretty bad human being in that regard.  I grew up knowing Tina Turner as a solo star, so I am amazed there was even some question as to if she would be famous after leaving Ike.  After the biopic “What’s Love Got To Do With It?”, Tim Meadows did a mean Ike impersonation which I thought was funny at the time but now that I am older, I have pulled back a little on it.

Anyway, this is a pretty decent album cheaply put together.  Highlights include “I Can’t Stop Loving You”, “Tight Pants”, “Good Times”, and “You Are My Sunshine”.  Very horn heavy.  I thought I would hear more of Ike’s guitar but no.  This album is mostly Tina, which is good.DSCN2505

Because I have been playing a lot of crap this week, I decided to go with two songs of this album, “Tell the Truth” and “Finger Poppin”.  I thought these two tracks were good.  They are all Tina.  It goes back to what I said earlier:  why would anyone doubt she could stand on her own?  She is standing on her own on these tracks.ike__tina_turner_231172_dia14

Satisfactory record.  Enjoy your Saturday.
