Artist: SIMONE, NINA
Title: The Amazing Nina Simone
Label: 4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format: LP
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: 4M 126LP
"Nina's second LP, originally released in 1959, The Amazing Nina Simone features a repertoire ranging from a swinging 'Stompin' at the Savoy' and an emotional 'It Might as Well Be Spring' to an English folk ballad ('Tomorrow'), spirituals, and an R&B song ('You've Been Gone Too Long') and is backed by a subtle orchestra arranged by Bob Mersey that effectively showcases her top-form vocals. 180 gram vinyl."

Title: Nina At Town Hall
Label: 4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format: LP
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: 4M 129LP
"One of Nina Simone's finest recordings, this 1959 Colpix LP features the unique singer/pianist performing classic versions of 'Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair,' 'The Other Woman,' and 'Wild Is the Wind.' With supportive work from bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Al 'Tootie' Heath, she also sounds fine on a few instrumentals. 'Summertime' is performed twice, once as a vocal. From the start of her career, Nina Simone carved out her own unique niche, meshing together her classical piano technique with folk singing, civil rights protest lyrics and jazz. All of those elements are in evidence on this highly recommended set."

Title: Sings Billie Holiday's Blues
Label: GET BACK (ITALY)
Format: LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: GET 2022
"The high Priestess Of Soul pays tribute to the queen herself, Billie Holiday. Despite the decades that divide the two singers and the fact that Holiday was from the North (Philadelphia) and Simone was from the South (North Carolina), the two pioneering vocalists are united not by their music, but by the fact that both women put their musical careers on the line to sing about racism and the atrocities being committed against black Americans. Holiday's harrowing 'Strange Fruit' (included here) and Nina Simone's 'Mississippi Goddamn!' are parallel protest songs, although Lady Day was singing hers decades before the Civil Rights Movement. These eight amazing Billie Holiday classics, including 'Tell Me More & Then Some', 'This Year's Kisses' and 'Give Me A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer' are given the full Nina Simone treatment -- a rare opportunity to enjoy two legends in one sitting."

Format: LP
Price: $21.00
Catalog #: GET 2037LP
"Live recordings from 1959 of some of her most classic material, recorded while Nina Simone was with the Colpix label, where she had full creative control over her music. Her unique voice and personal strength, both as an African American woman and artist cast a long shadow over the last half of the 20th century and provided inspiration for many artists who have followed in her footsteps."
