All The Best is Tina’s second greatest hits album, featuring her biggest hits, three new recorded songs and a longer version of „Great Spirits“ from the Brother Bear soundtrack. The track „Something Special“ was a leftover from the Wildest Dreams recording session. The album marked the highest chart entry for Tina in America, with #2 in it's first week. Also in America, it was re-issued the following year as an abridged single disc version under the title All The Best - The Hits and in April 2018, it was reissued in England under the title The Greatest Hits, including a different cover art to promote TINA - The Tina Turner Musical in London. For promotion, Parlophone released an Interview Disc with the stories behind the songs.
