Leamington Editorial 28th Mar, 2025 Updated: 29th Mar, 2025   0

TINA Turner’s seminal Private Dancer album has been given a 40th anniversary makeover.

Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition) is released in various formats including bumper 5CD/Blu-ray set, which includes the newly upgraded 55-minute Private Dancer Tour show filmed at the NEC in Birmingham between two nights in March 1985.

Other formats include a 2CD edition, an LP picture disc featuring the official UK/EU cover on one side and the US cover on the other, and a limited-edition LP pearl vinyl with a 12×12 art card of the US album artwork.

Originally released in May 1984, Private Dancer marked Turner’s triumphant comeback, becoming a cultural phenomenon.




Dubbed by American Songwriter as “one of the most charismatic comebacks of modern rock” and AllMusic as “without question,… Turner’s finest hour as a solo artist.”

The album picked up four Grammy Awards – for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for Better Be Good To Me and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for the top Billboard Hot 100 track, What’s Love Got To Do With It?


The Observer has three copies of the 2CD Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition) to give away in a competition.
