“What You Get Is What You See” is a song by recording artist Tina Turner from her album Break Every Rule (1986). The song was written by the Terry Britten and Graham Lyle team and was notably different from the three previous singles that they had written for Turner, “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, “We Don’t Need Another Hero” and “Two People”, as it was an up-tempo country-tinged rock track featuring Eric Clapton on guitars. Tina Turner said in an interview that “What You Get Is What You See” is her favorite song from the album.

Thank you for sharing this! You rock! Any chance you might re-upload the other 12″ singles from Tina’s Break Every Rule album?
Thank you so much for this one! Immaculate transfer! Would you happen to have “One of the Living” ?
Thank you so much for sharing this new transfer, Paul! I kid you not, I was just wondering this weekend — with all of the renewed interest in Tina — if you might share some new transfers of her 12″ maxi-singles in the near future. So what a great surprise this was!
Thanks, Paul! Tina’s 12″ singles seem sorely neglected in the digital age.
Thank you Paul!!!!
You’re welcome, Guss 🙂
I thought your original posting of this track sounded great, so I can only imagine how it will sound now with your new equipment and your increased talent when it comes to ripping records. I so love Tina Turner. She’s been through so much during her life and career and a lot has been tragic. I love the fact that she has so much of your love and respect because of so many of her records you have showcased over the years. Thank you Paul for this record. I absolutely love it!!!
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff 🙂
