3.0 out of 5 stars Could be much better !, November 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Collected Recordings Sixties to Nineties (Audio CD)

When Capitol records announced the release of "collected recordings" at the end of 1994, I was really thrilled. They said it would be a three disc collection. Disc one would focus on the Ike and Tina days, Disc Two would have RARE Tina recordings and disc 3 would be Tina's solo greatest hits. I think the collection starts great with the Ike and Tina disc. It's a good compilation of the duo starting with "Fool in love" from 1960 and including their greatest hits and also some songs which have been not easy to find over the last years ( for example "Letter from Tina" and "It ain't right Loving to be loving" from their 1969 album "Come together" ). What disappoints me about this collection is especially disc 2. This is suposed to be a disc with rarities, but what we get is not that rare at all. Only two songs on this disc I consider rare and these are "Games" and "Johnny and Mary". What about her b-sides "Don't rush the good things", "Don't turn around" ( later covered by Ace of Base and Aswad ), Stronger than the wind,... + their must be tons of Tina recordings which have never been released before...Maybe capitol is saving them for future releases.... The booklet also mentions her 1985 single "One of the living" taken from the Mad Max soundtrack, but it's not on the disc. Also on disc three some of her greatest hits are missing. Where are "Two People", "Girls", "Break every Rule", "I don't wanna lose you", "Show some respect",... This collection is a nice effort, but definately not the Ultimate Tina Turner collection. I think Capitol/EMI should consider putting together a new collection and make it MINIMUM a 5 disc set, because Tina's been doing what she does best for over 40 years now ! You can't get the picture of her career on three discs...

5.0 out of 5 stars All of the Queen of Rocks hits on one collection., April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collected Recordings Sixties to Nineties (Audio CD)

What a great collection. The first cd chronicles the Ike and Tina days. The hits include Fool in Love, I Wanna Take Ya Higher, Nutbush City Limits, and ofcourse Proud Mary. The second cd is some of Tinas unknown songs. It features Acid Queen, Legs, Ball of Confusion, and Lets Pretend were Married. It also includes duets with Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, and Rod Stewart. The third cd is classic Tina. It has all of her hits from Whats Love Got To Do With It to The Best to I Dont Wanna Fight. The box set also comes with a book that tells all about the goddess. It also has commets from other stars about Tina.
