Description
Here is a 10" 78 rpm copy of Ike Turner w/ Carlson Oliver & Little Ann (the original name for Tina Turner) doing the song "Boxtop" with Tina on back up vocals. On the flip side we have "Chalypso Love Cry" by the Ike Turner Orch. with Fred Sample. This is on the label Tune Town out of St. Louis and catalog # TT-501. Please see the photos of the actual item for sale. I would grade this copy as "E" (if this was an LP, I would call it VG and close to VG+ or E+ in this case). It does have a little light surface wear and some very light scuffs/marks.
From Wikipedia about this record:
In 1958, Turner's shows at Club Manhattan were frequently visited by an eighteen-year-old high school graduate and nurse aide, Anna Mae Bullock, whose sister Aillene was a barmaid at the club and was dating a band member. After months seeing the band, Anna asked to sing with the Kings of Rhythm, finally being given the chance to do so during an intermission. Impressed by her voice, Ike Turner invited her to join the band, giving her the stage name "Little Ann". Later that year, she sang background on Ike's song, "Box Top", for Tune Town Records, and also gave birth to band member Raymond Hill's son. In March 1960, Turner used Anna's voice on a recording of his self-penned song "A Fool in Love" to lay down a guide track for a male singer who did not attend the recording. He sent the recording to Sue Records in New York, where label owner Juggy Murray insisted on putting out the track with Bullock's vocal. Murray offered a $25,000 advance for the song, convinced it was a hit. Around the time of the recording, Anna had been pursued by Raymond Hill to join his band and leave Turner's. When Ike Turner asked her to use his last name as an attempt to discourage Hill, Anna took the offer. He then changed her first name to "Tina", completing the name change.
