Amazon.co.uk Review
Tina Turner's phenomenal reclamation of her stardom is perfectly chronicled on iSimply the Best/i. With the exception of the Phil Spector epic "River Deep, Mountain High", everything included here comes from 1983 on. Turner's iconic voice and bluesy earnestness surface on a cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"; she brings a moody sensuality to "I Can't Stand the Rain". Equally adept at rock, soul, gospel and RB, Turner makes ordinary songs such as "Typical Male" and "Private Dancer" into extraordinary recordings. There are actually better Tina albums than iSimply the Best/i but it stands as a useful compilation of her comeback hits. i--Steve Gdula /i

 Tina Turner - Simply The Best February 29, 2008
F. Hearn (Manchester, England)
Simply The Best Of Tina Turner... and it is just that. Because although it contains many of the best hits, it omits many loved and essential songs, but it picks the best, intertwines it with the new and is almost full as it contain 18 tracks. So we get some of the very early, to the very latest new songs for the compilation.
br /The cover has an iconic image of Tina, the booklet has a few nice photos and the back page features a four album Discography. The songs themselves are great, although the 90's Version of `Nutbush City Limits' is questionable, definitely not a patch on the original or the 1993 Soundtrack Version which is on a par with the original. It brings together a few songs previously not available on any Tina albums such as `It Takes Two' A Duet With Rod Stewart, We Don't Need Another Hero' from the Mad Max Soundtrack and the Classic `River Deep, Mountain High' which has never appeared on any Tina Solo record. In addition as I previously mentioned we get three new tracks for the album, which are really great songs, that compliment the older material. However some people feel disappointed that 'One Of The Living' from the Mad Max Soundtrack does not appear here. A Nice Package, good for casual listeners and a must for fans.

Book Worm 1 (Devon U.K.)
Really good CD with most of Tina Turner's hits on. I particularly like her version of I can't stand the rain and Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love. Am a little disappointed in Nutbush city limits - a good version, but I have fond memories of the original.

Quite simply the Best solo Tina Turner collection ever.All of her hits from the 80#x27;s plus some.pIf you#x27;re a fan of Tina during her period with Ike, though, you might want to look for another.

I bought this album after listening to radio 2. Private Dancer was played and I was doing some emulsion painting. I just caught the timbre and resonance of this ladies voice and thought I want some in my collection. I have been a fan of hers since 'River Deep Mountain High'. I was an impressionable kid then but I listened to that track on this collection and guess what that song is as good today as it was then, it really is just listen with open ears, it has that power that can blow emotional shivers through a person, rare and timeless. This is the only Tina I have at present and it is a good collection, hardly a poor track, buy it with confidence.
would be five but 2 songs are missing December 31, 2000

I bought mine when it first came out and it has 18 songs on it not 16 the other two are I CAN'T STAND THE RAIN and THE WAY OF THE WORLD both songs are fab and much better than IT TAKES TWO or the horrible ADDICTED TO LOVE (LIVE).if two had to come off for god only knows what reason could it not have been them.
