Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue (+3 Bonus Tracks) (Limited Edition) [VINYL]

Limited edition 180g vinyl - the complete album + 3 bonus tracks. 'Little Girl Blue', released in 1957, was Nina Simone's first studio recording ever. It was originally issued on the Bethlehem label and features the singer/ pianist backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. Many of the tracks from this LP would become true classics, among them her perennial versions of 'I Loves You Porgy' and 'My Baby Just Cares For Me'.

"The young Nina Simone wanted to be a concert pianist, playing Bach and Mozart in concert halls and in front of silent, respectful audiences, but circumstance forced her down a very different path and, in the process, allowed her to change the face and sound of popular music in America. She had not even intended to sing in public until a nightclub owner told her that her job and thus her livelihood depended on it. So, Eunice Waymon became Nina Simone, and Nina Simone became an unwitting star. Her debut album was far from her original ambitions, but it remains a key-work of the times, original and powerful, and the start of something remarkable." - Brian Morton BBC Radio.

"It showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her uptempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant. The album also introduced a fine jazz pianist." - **** Thom Jurek, AllMusic
