Tina Turner's 'Foreign Affair' to get deluxe box set treatment

On July 16, Tina Turner will release the deluxe edition of Foreign Affair, alongside vinyl, CD, and digital versions.

A major success in Europe, the album's limited edition deluxe boxed set includes the original album fully remastered for the first time on CD1, with CD2 featuring a collection of B-sides, remixes, and a previously unheard demo of the Tina Turner classic, “The Best.” Across CD3 and CD4 is a Turner live show from Barcelona in 1990. The performance is also available to watch on the DVD, as well as the six music videos from the album’s singles fully restored to HD.

There is also a special, commemorative passport featuring photos of Turner, as well as a high-quality art card featuring pics from photographer Paul Cox. The booklet has new liner notes from Holly Knight, the songwriter of “The Best,” “Be Tender With Me Baby,” “You Can’t Stop Me Loving You,” and “Ask Me How I Feel.”

The album will also be released on 2-LP white vinyl, exclusive to Rhino.com, and features the original album fully remastered and on 2-LP for the very first time. The album will also be available on black 2-LP from all other retailers, as well as digitally, and on 2-CD, featuring the original album fully remastered, as well as a collection of B-sides, remixes, and an unreleased demo of “The Best," which is available to listen to now. Exclusive bundles featuring official merchandise will also be available via Rhino.com here.

Foreign Affair was Turner’s third studio album since her dramatic global resurgence, following the monumental success of Private Dancer (1984) and Break Every Rule (1986), as well as her lead role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. It went on to be a multi-platinum record across the world, including UK, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and many more. The biggest track to come from the album was the 80s anthem, “The Best.” The track continues to transcend generations, with one of the most recognizable choruses in music history. On top of “The Best,” the album is complimented by several Turner favorites, such as “Steamy Windows,” “I Don’t Wanna Lose You,” and the title track, “Foreign Affair.”
