  • Adult-Oriented Music Collection

    5 out of 5 stars
    xouzqoznx15 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    As a musician, I really enjoy this music aimed at adults. The copy I have is excellent so far, very quiet with good sound quality, though not exceptional. I consider this record a worthwhile addition to my collection and am very pleased with it. I picked it up at a record fair for a reasonable price and it's definitely the 2007 pressing. No issues here at all.

  • Bonus Tracks Elevate Collection

    5 out of 5 stars
    gduhfojfahoxaaw16 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    Having the bonus tracks is a must, particularly 'A Case Of You'. This rendition is so incredibly rich and emotionally beautiful. However, don't go in expecting a dreary, slow, or subdued tune. It's a fully developed arrangement that blends seamlessly with the rest of the main album. Along with the Tina Turner track, these extras make the 2-disc version absolutely worth it, in my view. The track 'Edith and the Kingpin' also features some uncredited guitar work by Prince. I've just had the most delightful afternoon immersed in this fantastic collection. Highly, highly recommended!

  • Poor Vinyl Quality

    3 out of 5 stars
    ronevti12 January 2025United States🇺🇸

    Terrible vinyl record quality, full of hiss, pops, and warping. Opt for the CD version instead.

  • Faulty Disc Spoils Great Album

    1 out of 5 stars
    Lculvaim547917 November 2024United States🇺🇸

    Awesome album! The joy of listening was spoiled by a faulty disc. I sent it back twice, but got the same poor quality. So disappointing!

  • Tina's Jazz Perfection

    4 out of 5 stars
    anpo26 September 2024United States🇺🇸

    I bought this album after catching the second track, "Edith And The Kingpin," on a local jazz radio station. Tina Turner's voice has never sounded so incredible to me. No shouting, just smooth, jazzy perfection. A few other tracks are fantastic takes on Joni Mitchell songs too. But honestly, the Tina song alone makes it worth buying.
