Ooh Poo Pah Doo

1971 Harmony sealed reissue of Ike & Tina Turner’s Ooh Poo Pah Doo, a stereo 33 1/3 RPM single LP issued as catalog H 30400 and marked on the front as formerly entitled The Ike and Tina Turner Show Vol. II. The Harmony logo appears with Columbia Records attribution, and the album remains sealed in shrink with a bright yellow discount price sticker still affixed to the cover.

The jacket uses a wide, sun-washed cover photograph: Tina centered in a white stage outfit, Ike at right with guitar, and dancers moving in the background, with the artist and title set above in vivid block lettering. The reverse is a spare black-on-white layout with the full track listing, Harmony H 30400, liner notes by Robert Somma of Fusion, manufacturing credits for Columbia Records/CBS, and a row of contemporary Harmony catalog advertisements along the lower panel.

Selections include “Shake a Tail Feather,” “You Must Believe Me,” “Ooh Poo Pah Doo,” “Early in the Mornin’,” “All I Can Do Is Cry,” “Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You,” “Keep On Pushing,” “It’s All Over,” “You’re No Good,” and “A Fool for You,” credited across Tina Turner and Tina Turner & The Ikettes. The record and outer sleeve are listed in Mint/Near Mint condition, making this sealed reissue a clean collectible example of the Turner revue’s soul-and-R&B force in early-1970s Harmony form.
