Album Review

Over-Nite Sensation is a studio album by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, released in September 1973. It was followed by Zappa's solo album Apostrophe (') (1974), which was recorded during the same sessions.

Frank Zappa wanted to use backup singers on the songs ''I'm the Slime'', ''Dirty Love'', ''Zomby Woof'', ''Dinah-Moe Humm'' and ''Montana''. His road manager suggested The Ikettes, and Ike & Tina Turner were contacted. Ike Turner insisted that Zappa pay the singers, including Tina Turner, no more than $25 per song. During the recording sessions, Tina brought Ike into the studio to hear the highly difficult middle section of ''Montana'' which had taken the Ikettes a few days to learn and master. Ike listened to the tape and responded ''What is this s**t?'' before leaving the studio. Ike later insisted that Zappa not credit the Ikettes on the released album. [wikipedia.org]
