Ike & Tina Turner - Greatest Hits - Album

Billboard - March 06, 1975

Collection of hits from the earliest days to more recent material makes up set that should pull in pop, soul and disco play. Good indication of the role the pair have played in the evolution of rock. Early hits were often recut by English groups, and later hits were often covers of white versions of the same songs. Interesting thing was the way Ike & Tina rearranged material to suit themselves and often became identified with the rearranged versions.

Norman Seeff about the 1975 photo session

They performed a song that they put out afterward, but the way they performed it in my session was an early version. And when I developed the film, I was very clear what my future was. It was a moment of destiny.
