This Edition of Tina Turner’s amazing Foreign Affair album is an absolutely stunning package. It has the Original album, which is particularly interesting as it was recorded will a full band, no synthesisers and multitracking just pure, raw music. And it shows in the content, it sounds more consistent and fresh, even to this day, than her previous 1980’s albums. It just has a good flow and all the songs sound like a Unit, they belong together. However they are in no way repetitive or ‘samey’ In my opinion this is Tina Turner’s most underrated album, and deserves much more recognition, I also recommend the B-Sides from this album such as ‘Stronger Than The Wind’ and ‘Bold And Reckless’ to name a couple as they’re really great songs, hopefully one day we will see Remastered album that include all the Unreleased and B-Side Gems. The Presentation of this Limited Edition is just gorgeous, it comes in a custom passport design with a fantastically designed Tina Turner Coat Of Arms on the cover. Inside we get the wavy background that reads Tina Turner Foreign Affair, which is repeated just like inside a real passport. No detail is left out here, the passport cover is a Navy Blue/Indigo colour with Gold Colour printing for the titles and Emblem. The back of the front cover has Tina Turner’s album Logo in a gorgeous blasted rosy pink colour, which turns purple towards the right. It also features some lyrics from the title track, in a handwritten style. After the song credits we get a passport details page for Tina Turner with a nice photo and a printed signature. The following pages contain the photographs from the Foreign Affair album artwork shoot, which is one of my favourite Tina Photoshoots. The complete set is resented here in a scrapbook/photo album feel way. The Middle Page contains the Iconic Image by Herb Ritts that appears on the Foreign Affair Tour Programme and the Steamy Windows Single Cover. The back page has a full-page photograph of Tina. My favourite detail is that the song titles appear over the each of the pages in a passport stamp nature. All individually designed with the credits for the writers, composers and producers within each unique shape. I love the ones that have something to do with the title, for example ‘You Can’t Stop Me Loving You’ has a hand in a stop signal, which is clever. ‘Falling Like Rain’ features a little Umbrella in the stamp. I love how ‘Not Enough Romance’ has a little Love Heart in its stamp. And track four ‘Undercover Agent For The Blues’ although it happens to be track four has the number 4 in the stamp. The Disc Graphics are also different from the regular edition, as the graphics feature the Foreign Affair Coat Of Arms that appears on the cover of this edition. The Disc comes in a white slip cloth that is housed inside a pocket at the back that you slide the Disc into… So basically a fantastic Limited Edition with a Great Design that goes really well with the Foreign Affair Concept. An amazing Collector’s item that is becoming increasingly rare to find as it has been deleted for many years. If you ever happen to stumble upon this item don’t hesitate to get it.Read full review
