Writing on the Wall of Sound - By: Richard, 27 Apr 2008 
Phil Spector calledin to produce what was called the TAMI Show first got the idea to reccord Tina Turner here & 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 & he'd pissed off so manyin 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 availablein the U K.
After a brief comeback with the Checkmates on A & M there would be no more major hits
A Truly Awesome Recording - By: , 03 Apr 2002 This is a truly earth-moving, yet sublime record, &in my opinion is the greatest recording ever made. It is raw, powerful & takes no prisoners. The title track rumbles on, & Tina begins to ease into it. Spector's famed wall of sound isin full flow, a truly huge arrangement. However, Tina's voice is bigger. In her need to overcome the arrangment Tina ripped off her blouse, &in the process laid down one of the really great vocal performances of all time. She is hollering & screaming, the wall of sound is forever growing, until the earth shattering conclusion is reached. The other Spector produced tracks continuein 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 & Tina standards, including a cracking version of 'A Foolin Love'. This album is simply a masterclassin delivery & power, & is genuinly amazing.

Ward, 08 Feb 2001 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 & add a collection of some of the best ever recordings to your collection. It has the very original recording of 'river deep mountain high' & 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' & 'i'll never need more than this'.apart from them there are a load of rare & popular ike & tina tracks such as ' a foolin love' & 'make em wait'i strongly suggest this album to any true music fan.
