Last year, Parlophone revisited Tina Turner's 1989 triumph Foreign Affair in a deluxe edition. Now, the label is turning the clock back to 1986 for a similar presentation of the artist's equally incendiary Break Every Rule. The 1986 album will be reissued on November 25 as a 3CD/2DVD box as well as on vinyl and as a 2CD expanded edition.
Break Every Rule followed Turner's 1984 solo breakthrough, the four-time Grammy-winning Private Dancer (itself reissued as a 2CD Deluxe Edition in 2015). Though the lead single "Typical Male," written by the team of Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, didn't match the chart-topping performance of the duo's "What's Love Got to Do with It" from Private Dancer, it came close with a No. 2 berth on the Hot 100. The Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance-penned "Back Where You Started" netted a top 20 placement on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart as well as another Grammy award for Best Rock Vocal Performance - Female. (Adams and Vallance also played on their song.) Adams wasn't the only superstar to contribute a track; David Bowie offered Tina "Girls," which he would record himself on Never Let Me Down in 1987. Phil Collins played drums on Turner's rendition (as well as on "Typical Male"). Mark Knopfler added guitar to "Overnight Sensation" and "Paradise Is Here" and Steve Winwood soloed on "Afterglow." Break Every Rule reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the U.K. Albums Chart, earning Platinum certifications on both sides of the Atlantic.
The 3CD/2DVD deluxe edition, housed in the same small box style as Foreign Affair, opens with the remastered original album. The second disc offers a selection of 10 B-sides, remixes, and live tracks (though roughly twice that many associated tracks were released contemporaneously with the album). These include Turner's rendition of Diane Warren and Albert Hammond's "Don't Turn Around," later an international hit for Ace of Base; and her covers of Sam Cooke's "Havin' a Party" and Al Green's "Take Me to the River." The third CD presents Turner's Guinness World Record-earning concert in front of over 180,000 fans at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This landmark show is also presented in video format (as first released on home video in 1988) on the first DVD; the second contains the album's music videos (newly upgraded to HD) and a second concert, from London's Camden Palace, which was also issued on VHS. It comes complete with its introduction from Matt Frewer, a.k.a. television's Max Headroom.
The remastered Break Every Rule will also be issued on black vinyl and as a 2CD expanded edition; the latter format mirrors the first two CDs of the box set (dropping the Rio concert and the DVDs). All formats, including streaming/download, are due from Parlophone on November 25 and can be pre-ordered at the links below.

Amazon's price for the deluxe set is $69.98. Much higher than the Foreign Affair set was. That could be a deterrent for some buyers. I wonder if that price will hold as we get closer to the release date or if it will drop. For now I am holding off.
Joel says
i saw on a different site, that a german store was selling it for about $40...not sure what the shipping would be though...i have bought from other countries when the price was that drastically different.
Tom Heusinger says
I paid approx. $38.00 from German jpc.de incl Euro 3.50 shipping.

My pre-order policy is always to get the order in as soon as possible with Amazon. Credit card orders aren't charged until the item ships AND If it drops at any point before shipping, you get charged the lowest price. Rarely does this not work to my advantage with box sets and even 2 disc deluxe editions. You can always cancel it a few days prior to release if it hasn't gone down in price. I gave up with some of those other online sites offering lower pricing when these are announced as they have trouble managing inventory/ship well beyond release day, won't match their own sale price if it goes on sale, etc.
Andemoine Winrow says
Already lovin this. Is the special edition of ''WILDEST DREAMS'' comin next year ?
Gerbrand says
CD2 Track 10. Paradise Is Here (Live - Full-Length Version) (possibly from Capitol LP 7 09126 1, 1988)
The full-length version is from the (non-US) Paradise Is Here 12-inch (Capitol 1C K 060 20 2026 6). The version on "Tina Live in Europe" is from the Camden, London show, here included on the DVD.
Joe Marchese says
Thanks, Gerbrand! The clarification is much appreciated.
Ron V says
The version on “Tina Live In Europe” is not from Camden Palace, it’s just an edited version of the one on the 12” (CD2 track 10 here).
In any case, this one and many other tracks here are seeing a digital release for the first time ever, including some of the music videos and the Camden Palace special. All of which makes this a huge deal and incredible value for any Tina fan, even the most avid collector that already has everything. In comparison, the Foreign Affair deluxe edition only had the demo of “The Best” and everything else had already been released on CD before. Well done on this release and totally worth the price!
zubb says
We did not need Rio 88, which has been on DVD already. There are so many other mixes and single edits that they should have included instead of that concert DVD. To leave those out is a real shame.
