It is presented here for the first time ever on a single set. Among the treasures are her seldom heard earliest recordings, made in Atlantic City in 1956, as well as four seldom heard singles waxedfor Colpix, and various live recordings from the same period.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first five tracks were recorded live at a club somewhere in Atlantic City. These were among the first Nina Simone recordings ever made. However, they were taped and issued without her knowledge or consent, as sherecalled in her memoirs, I Put a Spell on You: “I went ahead with the club dates, which were just the same as ever except for the fact that one night, without my knowing it, somebody recorded one of my sets. That night I sang ‘I Loves You Porgy’, ‘Since My Lover Has Gone’, ‘Black Is the Color’, ‘Lovin’ Woman’ and \"Baubles, Bangles and Beads’, and the recording appeared years later [1964] as a pirate album called \"Starring Nina Simone\". I had to take the record label to court in 1965 to stop them selling it. So the first album I ever made was a pirate that I never got paid for and knew nothing about.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNINA SIMONE, piano \u0026amp; vocals on all tracks, with:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1-A5: Unknown drummer on 4-5 only.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded live in Atlantic City, New Jersey, 1956.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA6-A7 \u0026amp; B1-B2: Orchestra conducted by Stu Phillips.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA6: New York, 1959.
