FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album was first released on Colpix in 1960. This copy is a 2017 European reissue on Not Now Music, pressed on green translucent 180g vinyl.

What does 180g mean?
The weight of the record: 180 grams instead of the roughly 120 to 140 grams that used to be common. Heavier pressings sit more steadily on the platter and are less prone to warping.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) for the sleeve means light wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Nina Simone records?
Yes, for example Nina Simone – My Baby Just Cares For Me, Nina Simone – At Carnegie Hall – The Complete Concert. More titles are in our Jazz collection.
