Tell It Like It Is

Brief though it was, Nina Simone’s tenure at RCA amassed an impressive 9 albums many of which stand as creative peaks in her lengthy career. However, her imposing tally of recordings did not stop there as witnessed by the numerous studio outtakes and unreleased recordings that have graced the countless reissues and ‘greatest hits’ comps over recent years. On this double CD, we have intended to neatly bring together the best of these outtakes in one place along with a few exciting unreleased recordings to make this album an essential purchase for all Nina Simone enthusiasts.

Sleevenotes by Stuart Nicholson and Roger Nupie (President of the fan club). CDs contain 2 previously unreleased recordings, many exceptionally rare versions plus the full unedited version of ‘Why? (The King of Love is Dead)’.
