While I’m not a gigantic Ike and Tina Turner fan, I picked this 21 track live double album set up at a central Virginia antique store given the fact I’d never seen a copy before.  Produced by Jackie Clark, Warren Dawson, Soko Richardson, and Ike Turner, 1973’s “The World of Ike & Tina Live!” proved a surprisingly enjoyable early-1970s era concert set, complete with MC, warm up band, etc.  Musically the album served to showcase the unique and the schizophrenic marketing niche Ike and Tina had carved out for themselves.  Exemplified by tracks like ‘Dust My Broom’, ‘Let Me Touch Your Mind’ and ‘Annie Had a Baby’ their roots were clearly in R&B and Soul.  Ike in particular seemed more comfortable with the bluesier material (‘You’re Still My Baby’).  Ironically, by the late-1960s their sales were coming from a rock (read white) audience with little understanding or interest in those roots. Those marketing demographics gave the set an odd feel though you had to respect the Turners for keeping them in the set list.  It also left Tina to handle the rock-oriented numbers.  Accordingly most of the spotlight was on Tina.  She was clearly quite a performer, though to my ears her performances were frequently hyperactive and shrill (check out the two Beatles covers ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’ and ‘Get Back’).   That left Ike's performances as the album's biggest surprise.  Exemplified by ‘If You Love Me like You Say (You Wouldn’t Treat Me Like You Do)’ (written by Tina) and the Tina duet ‘Games People Play’ his gruff voice and raw guitar were criminally overlooked. Ironically, by the late-1960s their sales were coming from a rock audience with little understanding or interest in those roots.  Sure, the album was probably bolstered by a significant amount of post-production work (some of the audience sounds seemed dubbed) and some of the edits were a bit abrupt, but the sound and performances were all pretty impressive.  Doug Johnson’s stylized cover painting was also nifty.

·       CONDITION:

·       THE RECORDS:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ?click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The records are apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS STILL SEALED; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT MINT OR NEAR MINT DUE TO MINOR FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS VG++ (A LARGE PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP - ABOUT 10% - IS MISSING)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The cover has visible and somewhat oppressive scratch marks (cat scratching?) on the front side in one area not covered by the shrink wrap

-        Cover has a neat, round (PROMO?) cutout hole in one of the corners

-        Cover has a  cutout corner visible

-        Cover has some fraying/wear along the upper seam (opening side)

-        Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged  / bent.

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant,  VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2

-        Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.  (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
