Her early period was on Colpex, then she was on Philips. All of those records are in print and most are two-fers (2 records on 1 cd). That stuff will knock your socks off, unaldulterated and pure, no sliced and diced comps. After that she was on RCA, but that stuff is harder to come across. I hear the RCA records are about to be reissued though with bonus tracks. If you have to have the comps, I guess that's ok because at least you guys are checking out Nina, but I feel like you are all getting the short end of the stick that way. The records are the way to go.
Also there are two DVDs out that are well worthwhile. One is footage from an '80s show at Ronnie Scotts and the other in 30 minutes of footage from '61/'62 that is so smooth it'll chill ya. Word  Do u have a good Nina webpage at hand with a clean and good discography? | |

Sure, check out this page: http://ninasimone.com/discography.html It's the "official" discography, and I think it covers most thing pretty well. If that's not what you're looking for let me know!

I'm blown away by this comp, really gotta dig into her full albums
I feel so dumb - I had no idea it was her all the times I've heard "My Baby Just Cares For Me" 
Her version of "Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter" is so different from Tina Turners - was she the first to put that instrumental build on it? (granted I haven't heard Tina's in it's entirety, just a snip, but the delivery & arrangement seems so different)...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I have a compilation cd running. What are your favourite Nina Simone albums or songs that U find special? I just saw the movie "Before sunset" where they use the song "Just in time".A liveversion from the album "Live in Paris".That song is so incredible but that album seem impossible 2 find. The lyrics 2 that song goes so perfectly 2 the theme of the movie also. So...what you're favourites of her? /peace Manki Julie Delpy's imitation of her is one of my favorite scenes in any film EVER. | |

I have heard that Mary J Blige has been picked to play her in an upcoming movie.
What do u all think? Will she be able to pull it off? "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |
