“River Deep, Mountain High captures the Wagnerian majesty of Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound production ethic at its deliriously grandiose peak…”
- AllMusic.Com
“(Phil) Spector was well aware of Ike Turner’s controlling attitude in the studio, and therefore he drafted an unusual contract: the River Deep – Mountain High album and single would be credited to “Ike & Tina Turner”, but Ike was paid $20,000 to stay away from the studio, and only Tina Turner’s vocals would be used on the record”- Wikipedia
“… a perfect record from start to finish. You couldn’t improve on it.”
- George Harrison
