The second release selected for the relaunched SOUL CITY label combines two tracks by The Ikettes. The ‘A-side, a long-time Northern Soul favourite, was originally released on Phil Spector’s Phi-Dan label in 1966, the year that saw the release of the now iconic River Deep – Mountain High album produced by Spector.

Written and produced by Ike Turner, ‘What’cha Gonna Do (When I Leave You)’, features the legendary P.P. Arnold (an Ikette from 1965-1966) on lead vocals, with sisters Brenda and Patrice Holloway providing background vocals aided by Tina.
Our chosen B-side, ‘Beauty Is Just Skin Deep’, was originally cut by Ike & Tina in 1966 for Ray Charles’ Tangerine label. Produced by Ike, this version by The Ikettes (with a line-up of  Margaret Ann Thomas, Maxayn Lewis, Pat Powdrill, Mary Jean Brown) was released on Pompeii Records in 1968.

In association with Soul City Records founding partner, the British Ambassador of Soul, DAVID NATHAN
