DYNAMITE!
Dynamite! is the second studio album released by the duo Ike & Tina Turner on the Sue Records label in 1963. The cover shows the couple in different moods with Ike Turner looking moody and Tina Turner posing with a mink coat posing in a suggestive way that was started to build within Tina Turner’s stage act. Much like many rock ’n’ roll/R&B albums at the time, most of the albums included a hit single or minor hit single and supported by more filler tracks. Several charted singles came off these sessions including “Poor Fool”, “You Should’ve Treated Me Right” and “Tra La La La” and the duo’s second biggest-selling single at the time, the Grammy-nominated, “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine”.

If you get serious about it, record conventions and collectors fairs are a great place to find true rarities. Prices can be steep though; I remember seeing an Ike and Tina Turner album, Dynamite! that I had purchased some years earlier for $15 offered for sale for well over $100.
