Billboard

April 02, 1988

This fine two-record compendium should have legs to rival Tina’s own. Featured are Turner’s own recent hits: oldies — Ike & Tina Turner and otherwise; blistering covers of such modern-day staples as „Addicted To Love“ and guest shots by David Bowie, Robert Cray, Bryan Adams, and Eric Clapton. LP buyers really lose out: Cassette and CD packages contain four extra tracks.
