1,000,001 CDs 21: Tina Turner ~ Foreign Affair (Tina & Kaisik)

Tina Turner, "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll", died last week; Tina was one of my "Immortal Loves" (link below) and, of course, I was devastated.
When I heard about her death it brought back to mind the wonderful tales Kaisik Wong told me about his fashion adventures, which were many. He worked with such music icons as Betty Davis, wife of jazz musician Miles Davis, Leila And The Snakes, and there was his encounter with Tina and Ike Turner which was at the top of my favorite tales by him.
I
chose this CD to honor her because it's one of my favorite albums by
her, she is wearing one of the fashions similar to the those Kaisik
designed for her . . .
. . . one of the songs on the album was produced by Rupert Hine who also worked with Turner on her Private Dancer album, the packaging for the album was totally cool and the music is pretty good as well.

Notes:
Limited Edition Passport Edition.
TINA TURNER Foreign Affair (1989 UK limited edition 12-track CD album including The Best and Steamy Window, in special 7" x 5" (appr. 17 x 13 cm) passport pack with integral 16-page booklet and gold embossed artist/title/logo on the cover).
This edition of Tina Turner's Foreign Affair album is limited. It has the Original album "foreign Affair".
The Presentation of this Limited Edition: It comes in a custom passport design with a designed Tina Turner Coat Of Arms on the cover.
Inside we get the wavy background that reads Tina Turner Foreign Affair, which is repeated just like inside a real passport. No detail is left out here, the passport cover is a Navy Blue/Indigo colour with Gold Colour printing for the titles and Emblem. The back of the front cover has Tina Turner's album Logo in a blasted rosy pink colour, which turns purple towards the right. It also features some lyrics from the title track, in a handwritten style. After the song credits we get a passport details page for Tina Turner with a nice photo and a printed signature. The following pages contain the photographs from the Foreign Affair album artwork shoot.
The complete set is resented here in a scrapbook/photo album feel way. The Middle Page contains the Iconic Image by Herb Ritts that appears on the Foreign Affair Tour Programme and the Steamy Windows Single Cover. The back page has a full-page photograph of Tina. Detail is that the song titles appear over the each of the pages in a passport stamp nature. All individually designed with the credits for the writers, composers and producers within each unique shape.
The Disc comes in a white slip cloth that is housed inside a pocket at the back that you slide the Disc into... So basically a Limited Edition that goes well with the Foreign Affair Concept. An Collector's item that is becoming increasingly rare to find as it has been deleted for many years.
Passport has release number CDP 7 93129 2 and states "Printed in UK".
Disc has number CDP 7 91873 2 with artwork similar to the regular UK release. CD states "Made in Austria", although it is said there is also a disc with matching passport artwork.

Music Notes ~ vinyl LP cover graphics
~ 
Stan Kenton ~ City of Glass
I will have to fess up to what people may call idiotic, silly, stupid or
even a crime! Many of my record purchases over the years
was influenced by the graphics of the cover, such as the album by Mina, Salomé, on the right. As I said in the article I wrote about this album (link below), "How could you pass up a cover like this?" .
Although
I bought albums unknown or unheard just from the information
(performers, style, etc.) on the back of the album cover (one of the
reasons I will always love a vinyl LP as opposed to a CD), it was the graphics of some of them that snagged me.
Some of those albums have been featured on the Viewfinder; there will be many more to come.
