Am I A Fool In Love, as an album, is without a doubt my favorite from the duo of Ike and Tina. All the songs are original, written by Ike, and A Fool In Love was their first big hit which helped to expose Tina to the world. As most people know, it was a fluke which put Tina on the mic, and she never looked back.
Unlike some of thier more obnoxious hits, this album is wall to wall, 100%, unadalterated real deal music. There's no end to the enjoyment of these tunes and in my opinion, this is a game changer for those with pre-formed ideas about Tina Turner and most certainly Ike. So fan or not, check this one out and prepare to groove and boogie with one of the best the genre had to offer.
This was ripped from my Kent CD using EAC, and dithered to 16/44.1 FLAC using Trader's Little Helper. Wonderful fidelity...enjoy!!!

Thanks Poppa C
A really good listen and nice rip
Cheers
Am I the only one who thinks that photo looks NOTHING like Tina? I've got a major beef with the absurd statement about JB being their only competition on the Circuit too, the list of people this guy never heard of is too long to even bother with here. All that said it is a nice set, one I would have NEVER even thought of buying myself just from the packaging. Surprise, surprise!
You hit it on the head, it's easy to ignore this album simply based on the cover. Of course they were trying to market to her legions of fans in the 80's - whom would have considered themselves duped after buying this to be sure. I bought this at my local record shop... Used. Thankfully the small print that is dwarfed on the front caught my eye.
Yeah, but the picture...can YOU actually find her face in that picture? To me it looks like a picture of someone else entirely. Taken out of the context of that cover She would not even occur to me.
Wow, I have never really looked too closely. The image has definitely been tampered with. Maybe they thought ther newer fans wouldn't recognize a younger pic? That seems crazy but it looks like a cartoon if you look close enough.
