Tina Turner - Private Dancer 30th Anniversary - 2015

After the announcement of the Japanese release of Tina Turner’s Private Dancer album, the Queen milestone album is also being re-released by Warner UK to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

A special edition of the legendary singer’s album will be put out on June 29, 31 years after its release on June 1984.

The re-issue includes re-mastered versions of the the original tracks, including What’s Love Got To Do With It and Let’s Stay Together, along with a second disc of 12″ mixes, b-sides, three non-album singles and her duet with Bryan Adams It’s Only Love.

The collection also features the track Ball Of Confusion (Thatā€™s What The World Is Today) (with B.E.F.) recorded with Martin Ware from Heaven 17.

Private Dancer originally peaked at Number 2 in the UK and to date has spent 150 weeks on the Official Albums Chart. Tuner has since scored a further eight UK Top 10 albums, including the chart-topping Foreign Affair in 1989.

  2. Tina won’t promote this- it’s embarrassing that the anniversary was missed by the record company and her management. I hope it comes with a booklet with an new essay on how this fantastic album came about otherwise it’s just a quickly put together half hearted effort.šŸ˜

    1. Thanks for you comment David!
      Yes it’s unlikely that Tina Turner would promote something she isn’t involved a bit more. And it is seems obvious that neither RD nor Tina worked on this project.

      And concerning the date, indeed a bit embarrassing but better late than never huh šŸ˜‰

  3. 15.00 GBP for so-called “remastered” tracks that have all been released before on CD? The only 2 tracks on this release that were not on CD before (that I know) are tracks 6 and 12 on Disc 2. And they are not worth 15.00 GBP. This is BS. I’m so disappointed.

  4. I’m still wondering if the Japanese Edition (even more so now) will have special features to it: HD sound…mini-LP vinyl replica artwork….tour memorabilia…complete lyrics like many Japanese reissues and editions have in the 21st Century at least. I’m glad to see that EMI/Universal/Warner or whomever figured out the absurdity of releasing a 30th Anniversary of a classic best-selling album, and limiting it to a Japanese import. Someone woke up, apparently. Yet, I still notice no mention U.S. domestic releases…what a shock (NOT!). I’m still probably getting the Japanese Edition either way. I do hope that Tina Turner included a personal note/essay about her experience during the making of the album, and its meaning to her, even to this day. At best, maybe she can do a (brief) interview telling her thoughts about the 30th Anniversary, and the deluxe package itself.

    P.S. Still hoping for the theatrical version of “One Of The Living” to be present on the release. That would blow every listener’s/fan’s minds/ears.
