BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
Originally released in 1987 “The Tina Turner (Montage Mix)” is a nearly nine minute megamix of Tina Turner’s biggest hits from the 1980’s, remixed by Les ‘The Mixdoctor’ Adams for DMC Productions. The track originally appeared as the B-side of the UK “What You Get Is What You See” 12″ and the German 7″. Capitol Records also released the track as a Limited Edition 12″ promo in the UK. In 1990 the “Montage Mix” was added to the UK “Look Me In The Heart” Limited Edition CD single which is now out of print.
This is a single sided advance copy UK 12″. The single is quite unique because it features a custom picture label. Some copies also have “What You Get Is What You See (Dance Mix)” on the flip side. There are also copies that have a plain Capitol Records label.

This is really awesome Dj PaulT. I’m still here following your fantastic blog and all your posts on Miz Tina Turner and I love, love all of them. I agree that this is such a total surprise and I am such a sucker for anything megamix. I simply love it and cannot wait to listen to it.
Thank you and hope all is well with you.

Thanks Paul!
So now, will you be posting what I think you will be posting?

I’m liking this one. I have to say I enjoy it when you do a “run” of one artist/group. Thanks again for the tunes.
This is lovely! I remember how glad I was to have this (on the European pressings of her singles) and later, it was on the CD single of Look Me In The Heart. I am so happy to see all the Tina Turner posts Paul! Do you happen to have Break Every Rule? Chwee (Singapore)
Hi Chwee it’s nice to see you posting a comment. “Break Every Rule” is coming 🙂
Thanks SO MUCH Paul – I can’t wait! I remember vividly I was SO CRAZY for all the singles from BER album. But then again, I am a crazy TINA fan… so, what’s new?
Thanks, Paul! What a nice surprise to see you posting on a Sunday!
Jbird you are very welcome. I thought this one would be a nice one for today I had fun doing it.
WOW!! Thanks Paul! 🙂
You’re welcome Kent 🙂
Wow! I didn’t even know that this existed. Thanks!
You’re welcome Ryan sometimes I like to throw in a surprise lol.
Awesome! Although surprised to see “One of the Living” not part of the mix, one of her better ones of that era.
Radio236 I agree one of her best song but is somehow always overlooked.
