Christiern Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just a little side note... In 1959, when the first Bethlehem release reached us at WHAT, we gave it a lot of airplay and the phones lit up each time. The unusually high response to Nina made us call Bethlehem to give them the good news. "It's just a local rumble," said the Bethlehem rep (Nina was based in Philly). Of course, they soon heard rumbles from other parts of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Got a copy of this today - that's the way I like her best, in intimate setings, when she's more at ease wih herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) I wish I could find me a copy of the Town Hall and Newport live CD reissues at a decent price ... Edited January 27, 2009 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've got them all now, but "The Amazing", "At Newport" and "Sings Ellington" are copy-crap discs (of the European reissues listed in that other thread), and "At Town Hall" I only found on the Collectables twofer (with The Amazing again). "Forbidden Fruit", "At Village Gate" and "At Carnegie Hall" (2CD, also incl. "Folksy Nina") I bought them via amazon.fr marketplace and priceminister.com - didn't check amazon.de marketplace as their shipping to Switzerland is almost twice as much as amazon.fr's). From when is that disc you just got? And do you know more about the upcoming reissue in Verve's originals series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I wish I could find me a copy of the Town Hall and Newport live CD reissues at a decent price ... I have a Collectables disc with both of those issues on there, and I also have the Town Hall LP that I cherish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm aware of the Collectables issue and even cheap LP reissues, but didn't the Roulette/Colpix Michael Cuscuna produced include some bonus tracks? The Nina Simone at the Village Gate CD does ... The Nina Simone and Piano was recorded in the late 1960's. Solo piano and vioce, except for some overdubbed organ and handclaps on one track for church feel. Nice album, if a bit short (33 minutes).

Nice album, if a bit short (33 minutes). - bonus tracks - The Amazing four from "Nina Simone with Strings": I Loves You Porgy Falling Love Again (I Can't Help It) That's All The Man with a Horn At Town Hall I think no bonus tracks, but that's the one I only have on the Collectables twofer (with Amazing sans bonus tracks) At Newport no bonus tracks Forbidden Fruit 11 bonus tracks: Porgy Is Your Woman Now (from "Nina Simone with Strings") Baubles, Bangles and Beads (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Gimme a Pigfoot (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Spring Is Here (previously unissued) Lonesome Valley (previously unissued) Golden Earrings (previously unissued) My Ship (previously unissued) 'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do (previously unissued) Try a Little Tenderness (previously unissued) Old Yesh Home (previously unissued) *) different take of these were on "Nina Simone with Strings" At the Village Gate 4 bonus tracks from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere" (West Side CD 210) Eretz Zavat U'dvash Vaynikehu Sinner Man You'll Never Walk Alone Sings Ellington 5 bonus tracks Come On Back, Jack (45-614) Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (45-158) I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl (45-647) Since My Love Has Gone (45-151) If Only for Tonight (45-156) At Carnegie Hall (2CD) (CD2 contains "Folksy Nina") 4 bonus tracks: Work Song (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Little Liza Jane (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Whill I Find a Resting Place? (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Blackbird (45-703) This is all there is... now just don't ask me to tell you which discs you ought to get because of the bonus tracks... I couldn't tell, as I bought them recently, except for "Forbidden Fruit" and "Village Gate" which I've had a bit longer, and for the first of them, it should be rather clear, with all these bonus tracks... those two have turned up as non-CC versions in local BN sales, that's where I first noted these EMI reissues at all.

king ubu Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Those are the same 11 tracks amazon.co.uk shows for the entry of the EMI reissue: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nina-Simone-Town-H...2530&sr=8-4 So I'm quite sure there were no bonus tracks ont that one!

Quincy Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I haven't watched the Jazz Icons DVD devoted to her yet but Mississippi God Damn on the bonus disc is amazing. Oh yes! I bought to the Jazz Icons box to get the bonus Sonny Rollins material. But it was the bonus Nina Simone that blew me away. Man!, it's something else!
