Recorded between 1967
and 1972. Nina Simone's five-year
tenure at RCA found her deviating only slightly from the traditions established
at her previous home, Philips Records. Simone never sold out,
though: in one of the four previously unreleased tracks, Simone breaks off
a version of Judy Collins' "My Father" after a single verse, calmly telling
her producer that she's not going to sing the song because she feels no connection with the sentimental
lyrics. This two-disc collection makes an effective argument that her RCA years were
equal, if not superior, to her earlier work.
