To celebrate 50 years since the start of Tina Turner's iconic solo career, '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, this is the first time her whole singles collection has been released as one set.
To celebrate the legacy of the undeniable and inimitable Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, this collection also features a new version of 'Something Beautiful Remains', retitled to simply 'Something Beautiful'. The track has been reworked by legendary producer and long-time collaborator of Tina, Terry Britten, and is an emotive and fitting final tribute to the power of her legacy that Terry made shortly after her passing, he said "Dear Tina, the experience of working with you could never be repeated, but in my heart something beautiful remains. Love, Terry".
Tina's first release as a solo artist was the 1974 album 'Tina Turns The Country On!' whilst touring and releasing albums as duo Ike & Tina Turner Revue. The album spawned no singles but in 1975 upon the release of her second album - 'Acid Queen' - her cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love' kicks off this set which goes on to include duets with other legendary performers like David Bowie, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart as well as some of the most unforgettable and celebrated pop and rock singles of all time such as 'What's Love Got To Do With It', 'Private Dancer', 'We Don't Need Another Hero', 'The Best', 'Steamy Windows', 'I Don't Wanna Lose You', 'Disco Inferno' to name but a few.
