1973 studio album by Ike & Tina Turner
Let Me Touch Your Mind is a studio album by Ike & Tina Turner released on United Artists Records in 1973.
Leer másRecording and release
Let Me Touch Your Mind was recorded at the Turners` Bolic Sound studio in 1972. The album package was designed to resemble a paper fortune teller.[1]
The title track, "Let Me Touch Your Mind," was written by Oliver Sain and was released as the lead single in 1972. It reached No. 30 on Record World`s R&B chart.[2] "Early One Morning," The B-side to the non-album track "With A Little Help From My Friends," reached No. 47 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart in 1973.[3] Roger Whittaker is credited as the songwriter, but the Turners rendition is a cover of Little Richard`s "Early One Morning" which was released in 1958. Another track, "Help Him," was released later in 1973 as the B-side to the hit single "Nutbush City Limits." Both songs were written by Tina Turner.
Critical reception
The album received positive reviews at the time of its release.[1][4][5] It was selected as one of Record World`s Album Picks.[6]

| Allmusic | [7] |
Billboard (February 3, 1973): "It is burningly energetic soul with Tina`s uniquely sexy showmanship way out front on display, in a well-conceived program of Turner originals and covers. Duos next hit could be the slow-cooking title tune or Tina`s lecture on mating `Help Him.`"[8]
The Shreveport Journal (March 20, 1973):
This husband-wife act has been a big attraction on the soul circuit for several years. Foremost cut is the title ballad which is done in a lengthy, sensuous rendition by Tina. Best known for her all-stops-out belting, she demonstrates that technique on "Popcorn" and "Annie Had a Baby." The rest of the repertoire is the expected polished blues the two do so well.[9]
Reissues
Let Me Touch Your Mind was reissued in 2011 by BGO Records on the compilation CD Workin` Together/Let Me Touch Your Mind.[10] In 2018, the album was reissued on CD by Universal Music.[11]
