Fit for a Queen: Tina Turner's Singles Feature on New Deluxe Compilation

September 28, 2023 By Mike Duquette 5 Comments

Tina Turner Queen 5LP

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Even before but especially after her explosive pop comeback in the 1980s, Tina Turner more than earned the mantle of Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. This fall, a new career-spanning compilation from Rhino will reaffirm that title, with 55 of her singles (and a few rarities) on one album.

Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, due November 24, spans Tina's 1975 cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" - issued on Acid Queen, her second solo album (and last before escaping her physically and emotionally abusive relationship with former husband and creative partner Ike Turner) - all the way to a remix of signature song "What's Love Got to Do with It" created by Norwegian dance musician Kygo, an international hit in 2020. In between, you'll hear dozens of her hits from the '80s, '90s and beyond, including the U.S. Top 10 hits "Better Be Good to Me," "Private Dancer," "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)," "Typical Male," and "I Don't Want to Fight"; plus fan favorites and versions of "Proud Mary," "River Deep - Mountain High," "Nutbush City Limits," "The Best," and "GoldenEye," the Bono/The Edge-penned theme from Pierce Brosnan's first James Bond film. There's also duets with Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Barry White and Italian singers Eros Ramazzotti and Elisa.

The album's sole new track is a stunning new version of "Something Beautiful." Originally titled "Something Beautiful Remains" and issued on 1996's Wildest Dreams, the basic tracks have been revisited and re-worked by Terry Britten, co-writer of "What's Love Got to Do with It" and a key collaborator on the albums Private Dancer (1984), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and Break Every Rule (1986). The album's packaging - both 3CD and 5LP versions - include a newly-penned foreword from Bryan Adams, whose duet with Turner, "It's Only Love," was a Top 20 hit in America.

Turner's story, though well-known, never fails to captivate audiences. Just over a decade after earning critical acclaim alongside Ike Turner - including the beloved Wall of Sound production "River Deep - Mountain High" in 1966 - Turner escaped from Ike's control, near penniless and touring relentlessly to pay off debts amassing from canceled gigs with her soon-to-be-ex-husband. Critical success never meshed with commercial impact until Private Dancer established her as one of the premier acts of the ascendant MTV era, giving her a U.S. chart-topper with "What's Love Got to Do with It." By the end of the decade, she was re-established as a blockbuster concert draw - and boldly told the story of her former life with Ike in the 1986 memoir I, Tina. (The film adaptation of the book, 1993's What's Love Got to Do with It, garnered Oscar nominations for both Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne as Tina and Ike.)

Tina largely retired from the public eye in the 21st century, marrying her longtime partner, record executive Erwin Bach, in 2013 in their home in Switzerland. Along the way, she signed off on two more chronicles of her life story: the 2018 musical Tina and the gripping 2021 documentary also named Tina. (That same year, she received her second induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in recognition of her solo work.) When she passed away this past spring, her legacy was long secure - and Queen of Rock 'n' Roll is a portrait of an artist with few peers.

The compilation will be available in three formats on November 24: a 3CD or 5LP version, and a single-LP of highlights featuring 12 hits from the '80s and '90s. All track lists are below.

    This looks really nice. I wish Bear Family or such would do a definitive Ike and Tina box or boxes too, thier catalog is such a mess.

    Great collection! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Mike.
    Just sorry to see that 2 of the rarest have not been included; The O'Jays' BACKSTABBERS and, from the final album she recorded for Ike (and released under only his name!) Alice Cooper's shocking and revelatory ONLY WOMEN BLEED.

    The first time I saw Tina in concert was in 1983 , of course she was phenomenal. She opened with Bowie's Cat People which I still remember so clearly. I don't know if Tina ever recorded Cat People. If so, it would be so great to have it reissued.

    No one included are you breaking my heart? The rare rock disco banger exclusively released in Australia, on festival interfusion records who remained Tina‘s Australian label from 1978 to 1991

    It would have been nice to have a bit more thought put in on making this extra special. For example, including the never-officially-issued rare versions of "Let's Stay Together' (the alternative early mix billed as 'Tina Turner feat. Heaven 17'), the video mix of "Better Be Good To Me", the 'Sterling' version of "Private Dancer", the single edit of "What You Get Is What You See", the Justin Strauss remix radio edit of "Steamy Windows" (which wasn't included on the Foreign Affair Deluxe Edition), the 7" edit of "Help!", the video remix of "Break Every Rule", the 7" remix of "Afterglow", 7" edit of "Tearing Us Apart"...AND the best of the single B-sides, such as "Rock n Roll Widow", "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby", "When I Was Young", "Don't Turn Around", "Take Me To The River", "Bold and Reckless", and "Stronger Than The Wind". After all, B-sides are singles too!
