The release of 'Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition)' brings Tina Turner's musical legacy back into the spotlight. This limited edition will be available as a 5 CD/Blu-ray set and includes the re-edited 55-minute concert from the "Private Dancer Tour" filmed at the NEC in Birmingham in March 1985.
After Turner's death in May 2023, her musical legacy was celebrated with the release of 'Queen of Rock 'n' Roll', a collection of all her singles from 1975 to 2023. The musician had a lasting influence on the genre and is still considered one of the best female singers of all time.
