the best 60s soul album!! October 16, 2008
produced by phil spector need i say anymore love phil spector the wall of sound this album flopped in america but in britain it was successful see britain knows talent when it sees it!! tracks that i love on here are of course river deep mountain high,everyday i have to cry,fool in love,save the last dance for me the whole album is fab too be honest though but there the ones that stand out for me the sound quality isant the best but thats the whole idea to have that old sound it was made in the 60s classic buy it!!
Writing on the Wall of Sound April 27, 2008
Phil Spector called in to produce what was called the TAMI Show first got the idea to reccord Tina Turner here and the Turners were licensed from their label Loma.
When you read how this song was recorded you think its a wonder everyone just didn't walk out.
Sppector was now seriously insane and he'd pissed off so many in the music business that the radio stations blacklisted him.
Which meant this disc failed to climb out of the 80s.
In the U K this sort of thing didn't make any difference-Spector was known to be eccentric but he was so angry over the failure of what he saw as his meisterwerk that Ike & Tina recordings on Philles were only available in the U K.
After a brief comeback with the Checkmates on A & M there would be no more major hits
A Truly Awesome Recording April 3, 2002
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is a truly earth-moving, yet sublime record, and in my opinion is the greatest recording ever made. It is raw, powerful and takes no prisoners. The title track rumbles on, and Tina begins to ease into it. Spector's famed wall of sound is in full flow, a truly huge arrangement. However, Tina's voice is bigger. In her need to overcome the arrangment Tina ripped off her blouse, and in the process laid down one of the really great vocal performances of all time. She is hollering and screaming, the wall of sound is forever growing, until the earth shattering conclusion is reached. The other Spector produced tracks continue in a similar vein, including 'I'll never need more than this', another recording to showcase Tina's raw power. Packaged along with the all-consuming Spector numbers are some Ike and Tina standards, including a cracking version of 'A Fool in Love'. This album is simply a masterclass in delivery and power, and is genuinly amazing.
THE BEST ALBUM OF THE SIXTIES. February 8, 2001
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
what can i say about this that wasnt said at the time other than true class!(no that was said as well)all i can say is buy this and add a collection of some of the best ever recordings to your collection. It has the very original recording of 'river deep mountain high' and the passion it it makes this worth buying just for that! there are also 3 other songs on the album that are produced buy the legendary phil spector, 'a love like yours dont come knockin everyday','save the last dance for me' and 'i'll never need more than this'.apart from them there are a load of rare and popular ike and tina tracks such as ' a fool in love' and 'make em wait'i strongly suggest this album to any true music fan.
