Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You  (DELUXE AUDIOPHILE VINYL)
 
RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 6TH 
 
 
Given her extensive and varied recording catalog, if you're looking for a place to explore the talents of the late Nina Simone, then 1965's 'I Put A Spell On You' is a great place to dip your toes - particular if you want to start with her more pop oriented sides.
 
As was the case with many mid-1960s releases, Simone's record label had a major say in the material she was allowed to record and it shows on this set which features a truly eclectic mixture including stabs at jazz (the instrumental 'blues on purpose'), r&b (the title track), french chanson ('ne me quitte pas') and a number of show tunes.
