Fans of legendary singer-songwriter Tina Turner can today get their hands on a dazzling reissue of her greatest hits collection, Simply The Best.
Originally released in 1991, this celebratory singles and favourites package arrives just four days ahead of Tina Turner’s 80th birthday. This welcome collection has been issued as limited edition blue vinyl and standard black vinyl versions.
Simply The Best is an 18-track collection of some of Tina Turner’s biggest songs including ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Lose You’, ‘Steamy Windows’ and ‘Private Dancer’.
Following its release in the early 90s, Simply The Best spent over two years in the UK charts and has become one of the best selling best-of compilations of all time.
Turning 80 on November 26th, her career continues to build momentum and find new fans. In March 2018, Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, opened at London’s Aldwych Theatre to amass of acclaim with Radio 4’s Front Row calling it “One of the most impressive musicals I’ve ever seen” and The Times saying it is a “… raw musical triumph”.
After receiving tremendous reviews across the board, the show has been extended again into 2020 and will be making its official Broadway debut on November 7. Her memoirs, Tina Turner: My Love Story, released in October 2018, was also met with a similar adulation.
Sales of vinyl records have enjoyed constant growth in the last few years, so it’s particularly gratifying to see this musical anthology available again. Even if you opt for the standard black vinyl (the blue version is wonderful), you can still relish in the quality of the 140g pressing.
