River Deep Mountain High is a studio album by the American R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner. The album contained songs from several sources, five songs produced by Phil Spector and seven songs that are older recordings produced by Ike Turner. It was released on London Records, only as an American import, in late 1966. After the Spector-produced "I'll Never Need More Than This" was released as a single in 1967, it was added to the album in place of one of the Turner-produced tracks. That American-released version of the River Deep - Mountain High album came out in 1969, on A&M Records.
The photography was by Dennis Hopper.
