This album is a testament to Simone's ability to infuse raw emotion and power into every note she sings and plays.

  • Simone's Essential Acoustic Sounds

    5 out of 5 stars
    Jibnvrk26 December 2025United States🇺🇸

    In my opinion, this is the finest Simone release from the Acoustic Sounds Verve Series so far. Ryan K. Smith has once again delivered a pristine and uncolored mastering job. The pressing quality at QRP is excellent. I believe it's back in print as of now, so grab this as soon as you spot it—it's one of her most essential works.

  • Flawless Album Must-Have

    5 out of 5 stars
    tibgevdx28 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is absolutely flawless. Every single track is executed perfectly, making it one of my favorite sounding records. Don't hesitate, if you're unsure, just go for it, or you'll miss out. It's still available at AS.

  • Iconic Album, Immersive Experience

    5 out of 5 stars
    Neeckek6018 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    I can't imagine anyone questioning the quality of such a renowned pressing, but this remains one of the most exceptional sounding records I've ever encountered. The transition from "Strange Fruit" to "Sinnerman" is incredibly immersive, making you feel as if you're right there in the studio with the artists, and it surpasses most other records I've listened to. It's an amazing way to experience this iconic album.

  • Searching for VG+ Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    FqiQargq7 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Seeking a VG or above condition disc for this album. You know what I'm talking about. Hit me up if you've got a decent loose copy to sell.

  • Timeless Progressive Masterpiece

    3 out of 5 stars
    JoyiGuhqexi1 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Sinnerman is absolutely top-notch and way ahead of its time, we're looking at 1965 here and this song is incredibly progressive for that era. It still holds up today, the extended version was showcased at the close of the 1999 movie "The Thomas Crown Affair". A shorter version also wrapped up David Lynch's "Inland Empire". It's an ideal track to conclude with, in my opinion! "Strange Fruit" is equally amazing too.

Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933, Simone's music blended jazz, blues, soul, and classical influences, creating a sound that was uniquely her own. Beyond her musical prowess, she was a fierce civil rights activist, using her platform to advocate for racial justice and equality. Her soulful interpretations of standards, her original compositions, and her impassioned performances made her an enduring icon in music history. With a career spanning over four decades, Nina Simone's music continues to inspire and resonate with audiences worldwide.
