You’re simply the best and you deserve a private dancer to get you in the mood, after all: what’s love got to do with it? Go on, be a proud Mary with the icon’s greatest hits! After all, we don’t need another hero, but we do need a fab new CD!

Okay, so enough with the song title word play and let’s get straight down to the glam rockings of Tina Turner, who is without doubt a true rock star. With sensual, soulful and powerful vocals that have been part of music history for over four decades - Tina Turner is back with a new album, All The Best.

For the first time the highlights of Tina’s unrivalled career have been united on one double-CD anthology which is the comprehensive and essential collection of recorded works by this unique and Iconic performer. Across two discs and 33 tracks, it features the songs that first made her famous in the Sixties, reviews two decades of spectacular solo recordings, and then brings the story right up to date with three newly-recorded songs.

All The Best is an album that will delight the legions of fans who have followed Tina’s extraordinary creative journey, just as it will seduce new admirers. The array of hit songs on the collection is mesmerizing, from ‘River Deep Mountain High’, ‘Proud Mary’ and ‘Nutbush City Limits’, via Turner’s early emergence as a solo superstar with ‘Let’s Stay Together’, ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ and ‘We Don’t Need Another Hero’ right through to hits of the ‘90s like ‘I Don’t Wanna Fight’, ‘Goldeneye’ and ‘When The Heartache Is Over’, the latter from her album, 1999’s ‘Twenty Four Seven’. That’s some amazing hits plus a few camp classics!

But this is no time warp. All The Best features three completely new recordings by Tina, all of them showing that her vocal majesty continues its reign to this day. The powerful new performance ‘Open Arms’ is joined by ‘Complicated Disaster’ produced by Steve Robson and ‘Something Special’, produced by Trevor Horn.

As if that wasn’t enough, there are some gems for the Tina collector in there too, including a live-in-London version of ‘Addicted To Love’ and her duet with Italian superstar Eros Ramazotti, ‘Cose Della Vita’.      

She married guitarist and bandleader Ike Turner in 1958 and made her recording debut with him in 1960 on ‘A Fool In Love’, which set the scene for the decade ahead by becoming an American R&B smash and pop crossover. But, after starring in the Who’s 1975 film of Tommy, Tina was ready to strike out on her own.


All The Best looks both backwards and forwards, and ensures that her legend endures long into the 21st century. Tina Turner is back, doing what she does (simply) the best.
