Ike & Tina Turner’s Kings of Rhythm Dance is an instrumental album by the Kings of Rhythm, released on Sue Records in 1962.

AllMusic editor Richie Unterberger wrote:

Although the 14 tracks on this album are very typical early-'60s rock/R&B instrumentals in their tunes and arrangements, Ike Turner's guitar work is sparkling, lifting the LP out of the generic realm... Ike Turner really squeezes the last drop of invention out of these run-of-the-mill backdrops, though, relentlessly bending notes, wangling the whammy bar, and letting loose with some unpredictable runs and aggressive chording - Wikipedia

This got me dancing in the flat!

Blues for Mister Jimmy is an album by organist Jimmy McGriff recorded and released by Sue Records in 1965.

The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett stated "Blues for Mr. Jimmy was the last album Hammond B-3 ace Jimmy McGriff recorded for Sue Records before moving on to Solid State Records in 1965, and in some ways it is the archetypal McGriff record. Working in a trio format with drummer Jimmie Smith and guitarist Larry Frazier, McGriff is in fine form, bringing his patented blues- and gospel-inflected soul jazz to the edge of funk on a group of mostly original pieces" - Wikipedia

Don't Play Me Cheap is a studio album by Ike & Tina Turner released on Sue Records in 1963.

The Louisville Defender (February 21, 1963):

The tunes selected for this album arc inspired choices to bring out Tina's rare ability to be equally at home with a shouting, screaming pulser, or a tender ballad that gives her a chance to show off her more gentle kittenish side.

Cash Box (February 23, 1963):

Ike and Tina are one of the best-blended teams around today. Tina's exacting sense of rhythm on both pulsating r&b numbers and ballads is perfectly complemented by Ike's first-rate piano and guitar work. The duo are in fine form on this Sue entry of danceable blues sides. The songstress belts out winning readings of "Wake Up," "Don't Play Me Cheap" and "My Everything To Me" with all of her expected poise and artistry.
