Product Description Nina Simone was multi-faceted, both as an artist and on a personal level, and she spent her whole career drawing from such a wide variety of influences that it was always impossible to pigeon-hole her. She drew from the classical music world, from folk roots, from blues, from jazz and from the writers of the Great American Songbook, and delivered all of her material in her own unique style. This collection of songs is drawn from the early years of her releases and very much reflects her diversity of musical choices. Her work is amongst the very best and this album is a taster of her immense talent. About the Artist Side One 1. Love Me Or Leave Me 2. My Baby Just Cares For Me 3. Mood Indigo 4. Forbidden Fruit 5.

Great record and lovely presentation
The album is a nice addition to anyone's vinyl collection. Not all the usual tracks you find on the usual Nina Simone Best of albums but nice mellow tracks never the less. The Electric Blue vinyl is a really nice touch as well.I would recommend this album to anyone wanting to start listening to Nina.

Love it.
Not a typical collection of her standards etc. "Black is the colour..." is a winner for me, but I think this vinyl does give you an appreciation of the breadth and depth of Simones musicalityI appreciate the vinyl for exactly what it is and some of the recordings are old, but it seems entirely fittingThe turquoise theme!, not sure the relevance to Nina but I can tell you its a beautiful vinyl and for the price of £14 is an absolute bargain.

Very good album
I got this album to see if I would like her music, as I had only listen to a few of her tracks. I must say it's a good introduction to what she has to offer.

A few good songs
This vinyl record is under the NOT NOW label and the vinyl colour is sky blue, the mastering is good but the pressing suffers from slight static sounds and clicks.
