Compiled from her RCA years of the late 1960s and early 1970s, this 16-track collection of Nina Simone performances includes a dozen unreleased songs, along with "Sunday in Savannah," "Why (The King of Love Is Dead)" and "Mississippi Goddam," recorded the night following the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Here is a new Nina Simone collection never released anywhere before except on CD. This new CD /RCA Saga Of The Good Times And Hard Life features 16 of Nina's powerful works and truly is like having a 'new' Nina album in your hands and should do very well amongst her faithful audience. Though all these tunes were recorded in '68 (with one exception "Do I Move You (version 2)" which is from a '67 session), the 3 key reasons why this CD is special are
1) 7 tunes have never been issued before,
2) 5 tunes are either extended or in a slightly different form than the original released versions and
3) 4 have been remixed. On every track all the original first-generation multi-track session tapes were used in compiling this gem.
Some of the classics you'll find include "Mississippi Goddamn", "I Love You Porgy", "Take My Hand Precious Lord" , "Ain't Got No Life/I Got Life" (issued in 2 versions) & the Bee Gees classic "In The Morning". Primo liner notes, rare pix and notes from the producer on the work process involved in assembling this CD are also included. All the material has been digitally remastered. Nina always sounded good…But now she sounds even better! And to top it off the CD is a pix disc with a great pix of Nina.
