NINA SIMONE – NINA’S BACK (LP VINYL)

High Quality, Picture Disc
This album, originally issued as Little Girl Blue on Bethlehem (SBCP6028) was Nina Simone’s first album and first studio recording ever. Made when she was 25-years old, it was a huge success and led to a tremendous career which would produce more than 80 studio sessions. After making these tracks, Simone would not record again for two years, finally returning to the studios for a 1959 New York date with a large orchestra directed by Bob Mersey. Simone would never record again with neither Jimmy Bond or Albert “Tootie” Heath. The singer’s career came to a close in 1993, when she cut her final sessions with a sextet in Los Angeles. She died in France on April 21, 2003.
