This is a double vinyl LP pressing of Best Studio & Live Recordings by Nina Simone, presented in a solid turquoise limited edition. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Nina Simone as the 29th greatest singer of all time, noting that “her honey-coated, slightly adenoidal cry was one of the most affecting voices of the civil rights movement”. The magazine also made note of her ability to “belt barroom blues, croon cabaret and explore jazz”. This compilation features a selection of Simone’s finest studio recordings on the first LP, while the second LP contains songs from some of the passionate live performances for which she was rightly famous.
