Tina Turner - Acid Queen (1975/2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Acid Queen is the second solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released in 1975 on the EMI label in the UK and on United Artists in the US. Although it is a Tina Turner solo album, the first single, "Baby, Get It On", was a duet with Ike Turner, her musical partner and husband at the time. Acid Queen was her last solo album before their separation and her departure from Ike & Tina Turner Revue.

The Acid Queen album was inspired by Tina Turner's role as the Acid Queen in Ken Russell's film version of The Who's classic rock opera Tommy, which also featured Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, and starred Roger Daltrey.

Side A of the album consists of rock covers. In addition to a re-recorded version of the title track, it also contained the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb" and "Let's Spend the Night Together", The Who's "I Can See for Miles" and Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Turner recorded two different versions of "Acid Queen", one for the Tommy soundtrack produced by The Who and the other for her album produced by Denny Diante and Spencer Proffer.

Side B was written and produced mainly by Ike Turner. It includes Ike & Tina Turner's last single together, the disco-influenced "Baby, Get It On" (No. 88 Pop, No. 31 R&B). Other singles include "Whole Lotta Love" (No. 61 R&B) released in 1975, and "Acid Queen" released in the UK in 1976. The track "Under My Thumb" was released as a single in Australia to promote Turner's tour, reaching No. 80 in 1977.
