The recordings were subsequently remixed and remastered by Carlo Nasi and Don Murray, giving the later collection a distinctly 1980s presentation while preserving performances originating in the mid-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe track selection also demonstrates the breadth of the Ike \u0026amp; Tina Turner repertoire, moving from soul and funk into rock and R\u0026amp;B standards. \"Never Been To Spain\", \"Shake A Hand\", \"Sugar Sugar\", \"Let's Get It On\" and \"Jesus\" sit alongside Ike Turner originals and Tina's more personal material such as \"Tina's Prayer\". \"Mississippi Rolling Stone\", \"You're Up To Something\", \"You're Still My Baby\" and \"If You Want It\" add further examples of the duo's later studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor fans of Ike \u0026amp; Tina Turner, Tina Turner, Ike Turner, soul, funk, R\u0026amp;B, Southern soul and 1970s\/1980s rhythm \u0026amp; blues, \u003cem\u003eLiving For The City\u003c\/em\u003e provides an extensive collection of the duo's later material and is particularly interesting for listeners exploring the recordings surrounding the \u003cem\u003eGolden Empire\u003c\/em\u003e sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLiving For The City\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNutbush City Limits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToo Much Man For One Woman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'm Looking For My Mind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI Know (You Don't Love Me Know More)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePush\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRockin' \u0026amp; Rollin' Again\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChicken\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMississippi Rolling Stone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGolden Empire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou're Up To Something\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou're Still My Baby\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJesus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLets Get It On\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShake A Hand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNever Been To Spain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTina's Prayer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf You Want It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaise Your Head\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBootsey Whitelaw\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe Need An Understanding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo Fine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlacks Alley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSugar Sugar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I07249JX8w4?si=j9nD_4d2ejpCGokS\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Going for a Song Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55490640773462,"sku":"GFS031","price":2.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_a02b3659-8ff0-4610-84f2-9288908a948b.jpg?v=1790328229","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/ike-tina-turner-living-for-the-city","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
