Content and release
The album features songs the duo released as singles with the exception of "Let's Spend the Night Together" by the Rolling Stones which was released on Tina Turner's 1975 solo album Acid Queen.
Get Back was released nearly a year after Tina's critically acclaimed Private Dancer album. It reached at number 189 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.[2]
Critical reception
Cash Box (April 6, 1985):
In the wake of Tina Turner's massive comeback success, this reissue of the duo's greatest hits should do well. Includes "Proud Mary," "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Nutbush City Limits."[3]
