Get Back is a compilation album of Ike & Tina Turner's hits songs released by Liberty Records in March 1985. [1]
Content and release
The album features songs the duo released as singles with the exception of " Let's Spend the Night Together" by the Rolling Stones which was released on Tina Turner's 1975 solo album Acid Queen.
Get Back was released nearly a year after Tina's critically acclaimed Private Dancer album. It reached at number 189 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. [2]
Critical reception
Cash Box (April 6, 1985):
In the wake of Tina Turner's massive comeback success, this reissue of the duo's greatest hits should do well. Includes "Proud Mary," "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Nutbush City Limits." [3]
