Notes
Recorded in RCA Victor's Studio B, New York City.
© 1967, RCA, New York, N. Y.
Audiophile re-release with original cover artwork.
Song information :
“My Man’s Gone Now”, from the opera Porgy & Bess by George Gershwin.
“Backlash Blues”, one of Nina’s civil rights songs. The lyrics were written by her friend and poet Langston Hughes.
“I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl”, based on a song by Nina’s great example, Bessie Smith, but with somewhat different lyrics.
“The House of the Rising Sun”, previously recorded by Simone in 1962 on Nina Simone - At The Village Gate. After the cover version by The Animals became a hit she re-recorded it. The fast-paced version on this album is completely different from the slow, intimate version Nina did earlier on Nina at the Village Gate (1962).
Runouts are stamped.

Sounds great . Speakers corner always knock it out of the park though, this is one of the better ones -
Very clean and quiet pressing. My record looked great except for a light scratch that I think has no sonic effect.
The music is well-recorded with Nina's voice centered and easy to hear every word she sings. The instruments generally flank her out of the left and right speakers - they are also captured well. The piano is a little soft, but that's my only complaint.
Overall, this is great.

Not my favorite Nina album, but it is great album to dabble into a different side of her. I think this is vastly superior to VMP release, which has that crisp warm powerful sound you seek out of a Nina Simone record. The vocals are in your face, but you can still hear the instruments. Overall, great buy. If you find it, pick it up, you will never regret picking up SC release anyway

Another great Speakers Corner. Dead quiet vinyl. Crisp, clear sound. My only complaint, seems a bit bright, but I’m used to listening to RVG recordings. -
Awesome sounding record and pretty easy to find. Really should be in everyone's collection. -

Sounds stunning. Warm, buttery, analog goodness. Not a peep. Can’t imagine any other release sounds better. Only knock is the sleeve is as cheap as they come which should not be the case for a $40 album. -
Stunning. Super quiet, great separation and dimension to the sound. Nina sounds like she’s singing in your living room. The music, of course, speaks for itself. Fantastic pressing of a great album -
I upgraded from the Music on Vinyl reproduction of this stellar release. Probably my Fav Nina Simone LP, it was worth it to get an audiophile grade pressing. The MOV version was purchased before I understood their process of pressing vinyl from digital masters. I hold a physics degree and that is a fine example of unscrupulous capitalism, analog to digital to analog? Shame on me for falling for that dupe. I now enjoy the full sonics and soundstage and Nina is present in my listening room as this spins on my turntable. Thank you Speakers Corner.
