Acid Queen - original 1975 solo album program
The original 1975 solo album includes Whole Lotta Love and the title recording. The selected title performance is the solo album track, before its 1976 single campaign; no equivalence to the separately released Tommy film performance is inferred. | Reviewed 2026-10-17

Rhino - original Tina Turner solo singles history
The label's chronological single program dates Whole Lotta Love to 1975, Let's Stay Together to 1983, We Don't Need Another Hero to 1985, I Don't Wanna Fight to 1993 and GoldenEye to 1995. Its later single-campaign years do not override earlier parent albums for Acid Queen, I Can't Stand the Rain, Break Every Rule, Foreign Affair or Whatever You Need. It explicitly distinguishes the 2023 Something Beautiful reworking from the original 1996 Something Beautiful Remains. | Reviewed 2026-10-17

ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Tina Turner

Tina Turner's solo recordings place her distinctive, rough-edged voice in rock, soul, pop and dance settings. Her early solo albums preceded the tightly arranged songs of Private Dancer, while Break Every Rule and Foreign Affair broadened that repertoire with guitar-led tracks and expansive ballads. Later soundtrack singles and Wildest Dreams continued to vary the musical setting around her voice. The solo catalog is kept distinct from the earlier recordings credited to the Ike & Tina Turner duo.

Rhino - Private Dancer original program versus single editions

Its reissue program separates the original album from named single edits of Better Be Good to Me, Private Dancer and Let's Stay Together, extended mixes, live concerts and previously unreleased material. It also distinguishes We Don't Need Another Hero Single Edit and Extended Mix; the reissue itself is not a 1980s release date. | Retrieved 2026-10-17

Break Every Rule - original 1986 album program
The original 1986 album identifies Typical Male, What You Get Is What You See and Break Every Rule. The latter two recordings precede their 1987 single campaigns and retained annual appearances. | Retrieved 2026-10-17

Foreign Affair - original 1989 album program
The original 1989 program identifies The Best, Steamy Windows, I Don't Wanna Lose You, Look Me in the Heart, Be Tender with Me Baby and Foreign Affair. The last three precede their 1990 single campaigns; only supported original year precision is used. | Retrieved 2026-10-17

Wildest Dreams - original recordings and separately named later versions
The original 1996 album tracks include Missing You, Unfinished Sympathy, Whatever You Want and Something Beautiful Remains. Expanded program remixes and live bonuses are separate.
