Nutbush City Limits 12" 45rpm what year?

**discodevil** · June 9th, 2005, 07:08 AM

I just found a 12" single 45rpm copy of Nutbush City Limits by Ike & Tina Turner.

It reads recorded 1973 and Limited Edition Long Version 5.49min 1974. Released on United Artists by Festival Records Australia.

I can't imagine this being released as a 12" single back then?

Anyone know? :evil:

By chance is the matrix number 77779962228

I see on the International Tina Turner web site under discography, there was a 12" single released through EMI in 1973. Was not released in the states.

It looks like what you have there is most likely DJ Promo Remix or a rare limited release issue for Australia only.

I found this for one being sold at Gemm.com for $40.US...
