Private Dancer is the fifth solo album by
Tina Turner, released on Capitol Records in 1984, which became her breakthrough solo album.
Turner's success with the album came after several challenging years of going solo after a public divorce from husband and performing partner Ike Turner. It is her best-selling album both in the U.S. and internationally and propelled her back to superstardom during the year of its release.
Critical response
The critical reviews of the album were ecstatic. The New York Times declared that the album was a "landmark" in the "evolution of pop-soul music." The Los Angeles Times claimed her voice was so hot it "melts vinyl."
In 1989, the album was ranked #46 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 100 Greatest Albums of the '80s. In 2003, the TV network VH1 named Private Dancer the 95th greatest album of all time.

Ripping Note
Although a million seller I didn't saw this japanese LP often... Especially in such unplayed condition I couldn't say no.
The japanese release combines the artwork of the US with the international track list, which contains also "Help!".
The sound is very dynamic with a massive peak in the song "Private Dancer"...
All files are inside the folders.
High resoulution files are marked as "hr", CD-compatible files as "rb".
The files are interchangeable!!!
Hope you enjoy!!!
