Product Description
Ike Turner deserves a niche in the pop pantheon even had he never met Anna Mae Bullock, aka Tina Turner. At Sun Records, he participated in birthing rock 'n' roll (some call his 1951 "Rocket 88" the first true rock song). Already established on the R & B charts when he met Tina, Turner built a new act around their collaboration and tackled the pop charts. In the late 1960s, Ike and Tina were at the apex of the pop world with "Proud Mary." Ike drifted into drug use and paranoia; physically abused Tina; went to prison; and became an icon of domestic abuse, thanks to Tina's autobiography. Between the beginning and the end they cut a wide swath in Rock history. The recording is primitive and raw, but that only adds to the excitement as Tina Turner shouts and screams her way through standards like Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, Twist & Shout and more.

Does anyone know if this is a reissue or 1st time release of these recordings?

This looks like the same thing as the Raw and Live from a few years back.
