(Used) TINA TURNER cd collection Wildest Dream Twenty Four Seven What's Love Got To Do With It Foreign Affair
Tina Turner combined the emotional force of soul with the power and attitude of rock ’n’ roll. Her raspy voice, commanding stage presence and ability to transform other writers’ songs made her one of popular music’s greatest performers.
These five CDs cover her late-1980s peak, a biographical soundtrack, her final studio album and two editions of Wildest Dreams.
Wildest Dreams
Released in 1996, Wildest Dreams combines polished adult rock with soul, blues and contemporary pop.
“Whatever You Want” provides a dramatic opening, while “Missing You” and “Something Beautiful Remains” reveal Turner’s reflective side. Sting appears on “On Silent Wings,” and “GoldenEye,” written by Bono and the Edge for the James Bond film, supplies the cinematic centrepiece.
A strong late-career album balancing rock energy with mature ballads.
Twenty Four Seven
Released in 1999, Twenty Four Seven became Turner’s final full-length studio album.
“When the Heartache Is Over” is the immediate hit, supported by “Whatever You Need,” “Absolutely Nothing’s Changed,” “Talk to My Heart” and “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” Bryan Adams contributes to the title track and “Without You.”
Its modern production places Turner’s powerful voice within dance-pop, adult contemporary and melodic rock arrangements.
What’s Love Got to Do with It
Released in 1993, this soundtrack accompanied the film based on Turner’s life. It is more than a conventional greatest-hits collection, as she revisited several songs from the Ike & Tina era.
New recordings of “A Fool in Love,” “Nutbush City Limits” and “Proud Mary” appear alongside “Rock Me Baby” and “Disco Inferno.” “I Don’t Wanna Fight” became a major hit, while “Why Must We Wait Until Tonight” adds a dramatic rock ballad.
An excellent overview of her journey from rhythm and blues to solo stardom.
Foreign Affair
Released in 1989, Foreign Affair became one of Turner’s most successful albums, particularly in Europe.
“The Best” grew into her signature anthem, while “Steamy Windows” brings a bluesy Southern groove. “I Don’t Wanna Lose You,” “Look Me in the Heart,” “Be Tender with Me Baby” and the atmospheric title track demonstrate the album’s consistency.
Essential for listeners wanting Tina Turner at her commercial peak.
Wildest Dreams (US Edition)
The US edition offers an alternative presentation of Turner’s 1996 album, with different artwork and an altered programme.
Key songs include “Whatever You Want,” “Missing You,” “On Silent Wings” and “Something Beautiful Remains.” Its version of “In Your Wildest Dreams” features Barry White, whose deep voice contrasts effectively with Turner’s performance.
Owning both editions will appeal to collectors interested in regional variations.
