Description
Tina Turner’s Acid Queen reissued on vinyl for the first time in 20 years. Tina continued to embrace her rock ‘n’ roll roots while exploring new sonic landscapes with her second studio album, the bold and daring Acid Queen. Inspired by her role as the “Acid Queen” in Ken Russell’s film version of The Who’s classic rock opera Tommy, the title track is a gritty and raw reimagination of Pete Townshend’s original. Tina embraced her character’s fiery and defiant voice with visceral covers of The Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb,” The Who’s “I Can See For Miles,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” The album explored Tina’s musical boundary-pushing and was a testament to her unique artistry.
Tina has sold over 200 million records and has had ten UK top ten hit singles and nine UK top 10 albums
and was the first female artist to have a top 40 hit in six consecutive decades in the UK. Her albums
combined are 20x platinum in the UK and 9x platinum in the US whilst also achieving huge sales
throughout the rest of the world. She has won eight Grammy Awards and been nominated for 25. She was
inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 as part of Ike & Tina Turner and again as a solo act in 2021, has stars on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and St. Louis Walk of Fame. Her 1988 Break Every Rule tour, broke the world record for the largest paying audience at a solo concert, with 184,000 at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro and Rolling Stone Magazine named her #17 in 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and #63 in 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
