Nina Simone – In Concert (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded live at Carnegie Hall in April 1964, just weeks after the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham had shaken the nation, this performance captures Simone at her most galvanized and unguarded. The rage and tenderness she brings to "Mississippi Goddam" and "Old Jim Crow" aren't studio constructions; they're the real thing, delivered in real time to a real audience.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. "Mississippi Goddam" staked out Nina Simone's support of the Civil Rights movement when this album debuted in 1964, helping make it probably the most personal album that Simone issued during her stay on Philips during the decade. Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve's Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings. All titles are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. In high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets. The releases are supervised by Chad Kassem, CEO of Acoustic Sounds, the world's largest source for audiophile recordings.
