The music industry continues to profit from re-released albums, now with expansive editions celebrating anniversaries. Tina Turner's iconic 1984 album 'Private Dancer' receives a massive five-disc expansion for its 40th anniversary, featuring the newly unearthed track 'Hot for You Baby'. This track, crafted by Vanda and Young, deviates from the original album’s sound, leading to an interesting exploration of Turner’s musical versatility. The trend of releasing super-deluxe editions showcases record labels' relentless efforts to tap into fans’ nostalgia and willingness to spend on exclusive content, regardless of previous editions.
In a world where august artists' back catalogues have become big business, the music industry has become impressively adept at convincing people to shell out for yet another version of albums they already own.
For Private Dancer's slightly belated 40th anniversary, the album is expanded to a mind-boggling five discs of material, including a hitherto unknown track from the archives.
Hot for You Baby has a more straightforward rock direction than anything that made it on to Private Dancer.
The work of Australian duo Vanda and Young features distorted guitars similar to Steel Claw, but carries a different overall sound that relates more to rock.
