• 8-CD BOX SET

First-ever luxury 8CD box set of expanded editions of the critically-acclaimed and treasured albums that the iconic Nina Simone recorded for Colpix Records from 1959 to 1963 which formed the very foundation for the global reach she achieved as peerless and influential artist over the decades that followed.

With an astounding 107 tracks covering over seven hours of music, the original albums The Amazing Nina Simone (1959), Nina Simone At Town Hall (1959), Nina Atnewport (1960), Forbidden Fruit (1961), Nina At The Village Gate (1962), Nina Simone Sings Ellington (1962), Nina Simone At Carnegie Hall (1963) and Folksy Nina (recorded in 1963, released in 1964), augmented by 29 bonus tracks consisting of single edits, non-LP sides and a wealth of other material found in the Colpix tape vaults in the early 2000’s.

Including the legendary performer’s first readings of classics such as ‘Wild Is The Wind’, ‘I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl’, ‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out’ and ‘Sinner Man’ (key cuts that Nina would revisit over later albums after her Colpix tenure ended)
