According to Nina Simone’s official website, the late legendary singer’s estate has prepared Four Women: The Nina Simone Complete Recordings 1964-1967; a vinyl box set bringing together all seven albums Nina Simone recorded for the Philips Label during the most significant period of her long and distinguished career.
Limited to a run of 2,500 units globally, Four Women includes the following albums newly remastered and cut from the original analog tapes:
- Nina Simone in Concert (1964)
- Broadway-Blues-Ballads (1964)
- I Put A Spell On You (1965)
- Pastel Blues (1965)
- Let It All Out (1965)
- Wild Is the Wind (1966)
- High Priestess of Soul (1967)
The deluxe 7-LP vinyl box set features beautifully packaged versions of all seven albums, an 18-page booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Grammy Award-winning music historian Ashley Kahn, and is housed in an elegantly designed faux-alligator hardcover slipcase.
From the incendiary “Mississippi Goddam” to the heartbreaking “Lilac Wine” to the mini-epic that gives this collection its title, Four Women: The Nina Simone Complete Recordings 1964-1967 captures a uniquely powerful artist at her peak.
