FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original album came out on Colpix in 1963 as a single LP. This double LP is a 2014 European reissue on Doxy that expands the concert by two sides of extra material.

Does it include "I Loves You Porgy" or "Feeling Good"?
No. Those songs are not part of this concert recording. The record focuses on classically tinged pieces, folk songs and ballads such as "Black Swan", "The Twelfth Of Never" and "Silver City Bound".

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of play. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of wear that hardly affect playback or overall appearance. The sleeve is still in its shrink wrap. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Nina Simone records?
Yes, for example Nina Simone – At Town Hall or Nina Simone – Nina At Newport. More titles are in our Jazz collection.
