Looking for the perfect piece of Tina Turner memorabilia? A box set with her greatest hits may be "The Best" option.
To celebrate 50 years since the start of Turner's solo career, Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, which is a 55-song compilation made up of her greatest hits, will be available for purchase on Nov. 24.
This also marks the first time her singles collection has been released as one set and it's available for preorder now. The set also include a foreword from Bryan Adams, her longtime friend and collaborator.

"From obscurity to the stages of the UK and Europe, I credit Tina for changing the course of my life and I’m so grateful to have had some of her precious time," he writes. "She was a force of nature, no one had her energy or her voice, I suppose it’s fitting to say, it’s only love, and that's all."
The set kicks off with her 1975 cover of Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love" from her second solo studio album Acid Queen. It also includes duets with performers like David Bowie, Adams, Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart.
The collection features a new version of "Something Beautiful Remains" retitled to simply "Something Beautiful." The track was reworked by Terry Britten, a producer and longtime collaborator.
“Dear Tina, the experience of working with you could never be repeated, but in my heart something beautiful remains. Love, Terry," he said in a press release statement.

Turner died in May at age of 83 at her home near Zurich in Switzerland after a long illness, her team previously announced.
"With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow," read a post shared on Turner's Instagram. "Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music."
"All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly," it concluded.
