All the Best (Tina Turner)

To slightly alter the expression: go broke while the iron's hot. My last post brought up the Tina Turner song "What You Get Is What You See." While I was in the mood, I decided to finally start my Tina Turner collection by picking up a copy of All the Best. This is a two-disc set focusing on Turner's solo career, although a couple of Ike & Tina tracks are present.

As far as the music goes: It's awesome. There's a reason Tina Turner has had a long career in the industry and has achieved the great status she has. The tracks here represent diverse styles and time periods, but they all range from pretty good to awesome. Not one bad track present.

The selection of hits is also pretty representative. With a discography as extensive as Turner's, it would take several more discs to even come close to being complete; however, most of her major hits are present. Also included is "Open Arms," a great track that is amongst the few new songs on this set. I could pick out a few more tracks I'd like to have, but overall I can't fault the song selection here.

My one complaint is that the liner notes are pretty sparse. You get writing and production credits for the songs, a few photos, and that's it.
