    Very nice looking box set from the same folks who did the masterful Dionne Warwick boxes as well as the Jr. Walker set a few years ago.

    Does anyone know if Nina's "live" recordings on this label are legitimate live recordings? So often times in the 60s you just get studio recordings with overdubbed applause. I believe even Aretha's "live" album on Columbia was just that, as were so many others. Anyone know?

    This really looks like a great set.

    These particular live Nina sets, unlike Aretha’s YEAH!!!, are the genuine article. [I just noticed that Wikipedia lists YEAH!!! among Aretha’s studio recordings—as they should!]

    @sansradio,

    Thanks! That makes this set well worth it. For me with Nina Simone, I like her earlier recordings the best. She got so dark later it seemed in her delivery, it was kind of like I could only take her in small doses, great a singer as she was.

    I feel the same as you, Kenneth.

    I guess that it's different strokes.

    I don't have a massive Nina Simone collection, but Here Comes The Sun from 1971, and Baltimore from 1978 are good, well-balanced albums.

    "Mr Bojangles" from the former, and "My Father" from the latter are a couple of fave picks for me, but there are loads of good tracks on both.
