Hi all.

I picked up "The Very Best of Nina Simone" recently, primarily to get her "Sinnerman" rendition.  It turns out that I really enjoy the entire CD, but the recording quality is a bit variable.

Does anyone have another Nina Simone recommendation that they really enjoy, but is also well recorded?

Many thanks!

This one sounds pretty good for cd: http://www.amazon.com/Nina-Simone-Anthology/dp/B00009PJPJ

Though, still doesn't come close to a couple of the original pressings I own on vinyl.

I don't know if you do download but the samples sound pretty good here: https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD00602498886922

You could always download and convert to a cd and .wav...

As django11 suggests, you might want to check out HDtracks. The 24 bit version of "I Put a Spell on You" sounds very nice.

If you can find one I suggest the Here comes the sun release.  Later years release done very well with excellent SQ

I was plesantly surprised by the quality of the CDs on To Be Free: The Nina Simone Story.  Three CDs and one DVD.  $20.99 at Amazon  It has everything but "Sinnerman"    I have not watched the DVD so I can't comment on it.

One of the tracks I brought to RMAF this year....super tune!

Nina Simone at Town Hall sounds good to me.

Little Girl Blue has always been one of my favorite Nina Simone discs.  Check it out.

Listening to this right now - 2006 Verve re-issue of recordings from 1965-66. Sound quality is quite good - nice job done on polishing up these tracks. More importantly, she's at her prime as a vocalist and doing some really nice material including Sinnerman and Strange Fruit. 

D.D.

Great sounding CD. Have converted from redbook CD to AIFF and play through Amarra or any other computer audio player with equally wonderful SQ
