Howdy, AK'ers. Does anyone know of or have recommendations for good-quality Nina Simone recordings on CD? My wife and I really want to get some better quality Nina. We think she's great, but most of what we've heard is of decidedly low-fi, "in a cafeteria" sound-quality. I realize there are probably some good vinyl pressings of hers, but our vinyl set-up isn't very good, currently...:no:
Thanks! :thmbsp:

Is that the sexy German chick that had one video in the 80's? They had an English and a German version of "99 Red Balloons".

I'm noticing that there are quite at least half a dozen 180 Gram vinyl records for Nina Simone at Music Direct. Perhaps you should consider making the jump to a good vinyl setup.

LOL! No, far from it actually! But, that reminded me of how good looking she was back then!

Here (http://www.ninasimone.com/) is Nina Simone.

Wow! Sorry I was way off. Actually I would probably rather hear Nina Simone than the act I mentioned. Soul beats 80's gender bender Rock!!

Anthology- The Colpix Years is the best I can suggest. I like it. A lot.
