Besides recording with Tina Turner and The Ikettes, big bad Ike was constantly busy in the early to mid-Sixties, producing and writing scorching soul for an impressive cross-section of acts.
"During 1963 to 1965 (the timeframe of this collection), Ike's wheeling and dealing went into overdrive. He signed the Ike & Tina Revue to his old cohorts the Bihari Brothers at Modern, where he immediately hit paydirt with the Ikettes. But hit sides for the main act were unforthcoming, and Ike hedged his bets by recording sides with a gamut of raw R&B talent. Some sides were issued on Modern, some on a plethora of indie imprints started by Ike himself, and then leased out if not released...Altogether one of Ike Turner’s lesser-known but most prolific time periods." - Ace Records
