Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It (Capitol)

Well, it looks as if the Tina Turner revival was a flash in a well preserved pan. At a complete loss for a follow-up to "Let's Stay Together" she first tried a dreadful Beatles cover, and now here's a piece of limp reggae pop. The next move may well be an attempt to jump on the breakers bandwagon - careful Tina, a fracture could prove troublesome at your age. Perhaps you'd better apply to The Smiths for your next new lease of life. (Sunie, No 1, June 9, 1984)

She still looks fantastic (he sighs). Don't like it, I'm afraid. It reminds me of Marianne Faithfull. It's like an out-take from her Dangerous Acquaintances LP. I'm disappointed. Where's the raunchola this week? (John Taylor, Smash Hits, June 21, 1984)
