Nina Simone: Four Women: The Nina Simone Complete Recordings 1964 - 1967 7LP Boxset

FOUR WOMEN: THE NINA SIMONE COMPLETE RECORDINGS 1964-1967 brings together in their entirety 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) and High Priestess of Soul (1967).

The deluxe 7-LP box 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.
