Hey. 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.
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.
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.
Satisfactory record. Enjoy your Saturday.
