Tina Turner's PRIVATE DANCER Album Celebrates 40th Anniversary with Special Editions

Parlophone Records is thrilled to announce a 40th Anniversary Edition of GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Tina Turner’s iconic breakthrough album, Private Dancer. Set to release on March 21, 2025, this special anniversary edition offers a stunning array of previously unreleased tracks, live performances, and footage, honoring the legacy of an artist whose music transformed the world. Private Dancer (40th Anniversary Edition) will be available as a 5CD/Blu-ray, 2CD, a 1LP Pearl vinyl, and a 1LP picture disc. Pre-order HERE.

The centerpiece of this release is the 5CD/Blu-ray set, which includes the newly upgraded 55-minute Private Dancer Tour show filmed at the NEC in Birmingham between two historic nights, March 23 and 24, 1985. Directed by David Mallet and featuring unforgettable performances with David Bowie and Bryan Adams, this landmark concert has been meticulously restored by Mallet, offering a front-row experience of Turner at her electrifying best. Alongside the live performance, the set includes five upgraded music videos, with the “Private Dancer” fully restored to 4K from its original 35mm film.

Today unveils a surprise treasure from Turner’s vaults: the previously unheard track “Hot For You Baby.” Written by Australian singer John Paul Young and produced by John Carter, the track was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and was originally intended to be an album track. It was thought to be lost to time, but this thrilling discovery introduces a fresh chapter in the Private Dancer story.

Additional formats include a 2CD edition, a striking 1LP picture disc featuring the official UK/EU cover on one side and the US cover on the other, and a limited-edition 1LP pearl vinyl with a 12x12 art card of the US album artwork.

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 5x platinum record peaked at [#2 on the UK Albums Chart] #3 and #1 on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Turner would later bring home four GRAMMY® Award wins 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?”
