TINA: Album (Sampler)

Queen Of Rock ’N’ Roll (2023)

Tina Turner - Queen Of Rock 'N' Roll - Album

Queen Of Rock ’N’ Roll is a huge compilation of 55 tracks that compiles an incredible anthology of Tina’s legendary solo career through her singles. From her cover of Whole Lotta Love all the way up to the Kygo remix of What’s Love Got to Do With It in 2020 and also including a brand new version of Something Beautiful, which is the first single to promote the album. This is the first time Tina’s complete singles collection has been released as one set, to celebrate 50 years since the start of Tina Turner’s iconic solo career.

Unfortunately, some singles are missing in this compilation, like Love Explosion from the 1979 same named album, the very rare single Are You Breaking My Heart from 1980 and the first BEF production with Ball Of Confusion from 1982, which was very important for Tina’s solo career. Instead it includes the song River Deep, Mountain High from the album Live In Europe, which was only a single in 1966. Also from some songs the album version is included instead of the single version, in contrast to how it is mentioned in the booklet.

The booklet features a foreword from Bryan Adams: “From obscurity to the stages of the UK and Europe, I credit Tina for changing the course of my life and I’m so grateful to have had some of her precious time. She was a force of nature, no one had her energy or her voice, I suppose it’s fitting to say, it’s only love, and that’s all.”
