Tina Turner’s Debut Solo Album ‘Tina Turns the Country On!’ to Be Reissued on Half-Speed Vinyl and Released on CD for 50th Anniversary Celebration

In celebration of Tina Turner’s debut album ‘Tina Turner The Country On!’s 50th anniversary, it is to be reissued with a brand new half-speed mastered vinyl and CD on 15 November. Alongside this celebratory release, Tina’s subsequent three album’s ‘Acid Queen’, ‘Rough’ and ‘Love Explosion’ are also being reissued on vinyl and CD for the first time in over 20 years. All four albums came during and after Tina’s exit from the Ike & Tina Turner Revue and helped her find her own voice leading up to her ‘Private Dancer’ breakthrough album.

Tina Turner marked the 1970s as a journey to self-discovery and musical triumph, having already solidified herself with the explosive energy and soulful intensity of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Stepping away from the duo, Turner released her solo debut, Tina Turns The Country On!, in 1974. In an attempt to expand her stardom, Turner stepped into country music with her own soulful take on classics by Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Olivia Newton-John, James Taylor and Dolly Parton. Although the album didn’t see chart success, it received a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female.
