Tina Turner's album Private Dancer (1984) will be released as part of the SuperDeluxeEdition (SDE) Surround Series on 25 September 2026. Note that pre-orders are only open until 12 June 2026 and may not be available after that date.

Note: This should not be confused with the previous Blu-ray in the 40th anniversary box set (which has a thread here (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=384155) and was reviewed here (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tina-Turner-Private-Dancer-Blu-ray/380601/#Review)). That was a concert video from the NEC in Birmingham, though it appears to contain the same eight (or possibly one less with seven, see below) promo videos.

Tina Turner / Private Dancer SDE exclusive blu-ray

#67 in the SDE Surround Series

BY PAUL SINCLAIR

Tina Turner’s classic album Private Dancer was released on this day in 1984, so it is fitting that SDE is today announcing an exclusive blu-ray audio of this record that features a new Dolby Atmos Mix alongside a generous selection of additional content.

Private Dancer was Tina’s fifth solo studio album but marked her triumphant comeback in the 1980s. It includes the hit singles ‘Let’s Stay Together’, ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’, ‘Better Be Good To Me’, ‘Private Dancer’ and ‘Show Some Respect’ and peaked at No 2 in the UK Albums Chart and No 3 on the Billboard 200.

Such is its significance, in 2020 Private Dancer was selected by the Library of Congress in the US for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

Despite being reissued on CD at least three times – and twice in the last decade – Private Dancer has never been mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound or in Dolby Atmos – but that is no longer the case, thanks to SDE.

Stephen W Tayler is legendary engineer and mixer (he mixed Kate Bush’s last two studio albums) as well as being a master when it comes to immersive/surround mixing (he was responsible for the much acclaimed 5.1 mixes of Howard Jones’ first two albums) and has mixed Private Dancer in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround and in Stereo for this new SDE blu-ray. Even better, Stephen was in the studio with Tina during the recording of this album back in 1984, working alongside Rupert Hine as engineer on two tracks: ‘I Might Have Been Queen’ and ‘Better Be Good To Me’ so he has an emotional connection to this album.

In addition to these mixes, Stephen W Tayler has delivered instrumental versions of the whole album in Atmos, 5.1 and stereo. These new 2026 mixes sit alongside the 2015 remaster of the original 1984 mix.

*The audio streams of Private Dancer on the SDE-exclusive blu-ray are as follows:

  • Private Dancer 2026 Dolby Atmos mix (48/24)
  • Private Dancer 2026 5.1 mix (96/24)
  • Private Dancer 2026 Stereo mix (96/24)
  • Private Dancer 2026 Instrumental Dolby Atmos mix (48/24)
  • Private Dancer 2026 Instrumental 5.1 mix (96/24)
  • Private Dancer 2026 Instrumental Stereo mix (96/24)
  • Private Dancer 1984 Stereo Mix (2015 Remaster) (sample/bit rate – tbc)

The content doesn’t stop there. This blu-ray also includes 25 stereo-only bonus tracks including B-sides, 12-inch mixes, single edits, and non-album singles including three versions of ‘We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)’ and the ‘lost’ track ‘Hot For You Baby’. See tracklisting below for the full list.

And there’s more: This SDE exclusive blu-ray of Private Dancer features seven promo videos, including two (‘Let’s Stay Together’ and ‘Private Dancer’) restored from the original 35mm print.*

The Private Dancer (Region-free) blu-ray audio is #67 in the ongoing SDE Surround Series and will be packaged similarly to previous editions (clear amaray case) and ships with a free, collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.

This is TIME LIMITED release; It available to pre-order for two weeks only, starting today. The pre-order window closes at midnight GMT on 12 June 2026. Availability after that point cannot be guaranteed.

The Private Dancer SDE exclusive blu-ray will be released on 25 September 2026 by SDE Records.
