hey

can someone recomend some nina simone albums? Besides 'greatest hits' compilations, what should i get?

thx,

Thats a really tough question, cause she has so many good ones and she goes through a variety of styles. My personal favorites though are:

I'm partially biased to the more funky stuff.

- High Priestess of Soul
- Silk and Soul (I can never find this in cd. I have the record and no record player!!! )
- Nuff Said...

But the more hippyish album that I always return to is:
To Love Somebody (has the best version of Suzanne I've ever heard anyone do... a Suzanne that's kinda groovy).

Good fucken question. I have at least 3 different compiled "best of" Nina Simone's, but nary an album. They've all been reissued on cd in card-sleeve envelopes.
