This is the first in an extensive series of Nina Simone album posts, an artist for whom I've detected an interest among the AvaxHome community in comments following the posting of a collection of Billie Holiday albums by opusV.

It is not by chance that I've chosen the posthumous 2003 Anthology double-CD to open this series, since it actually accomplishes what virtually every other attempt so far had failed to do: definitively represent all the stages of Simone's career.

While RCA has done a number of fine Simone collections, including The Very Best of Nina Simone: Sugar in My Bowl 1967-1972, which featured a number of unreleased tracks, even they haven't accomplished this: a compilation that encompasses her entire career with tracks from every label she recorded for, including Bethlehem, Colpix, Philips, RCA, CTI, and Elektra.

The lion's share of the material may come from RCA, but that's only logical, since she spent the longest part of her recording history with that company.

The obvious beginning is with 'I Loves You Porgy', from her Bethlehem album Little Girl Blue (or, as it was originally titled, Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club). Also from this session is the definitive version of the Gus Kahn/Walter Donaldson classic 'My Baby Just Cares for Me'.

While there are a couple of cuts from Colpix's Nina Simone at Town Hall, such as 'The Other Woman' and 'Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair', there is also the Colpix single 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out'.

There is a slew of tracks from the Philips albums, including Live at Newport, Nina Simone in Concert (featuring the infamous version of 'Mississippi Goddam'), Broadway-Blues-Ballads (with her scorching version of 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'), I Put a Spell on You, Pastel Blues, and Wild Is the Wind (which featured the tracks 'Four Women', 'Strange Fruit', and 'Sinnerman').

From the RCA years there is something from virtually every album, most notably 'I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl', 'To Love Somebody', Jimmy Webb's 'Do What You Gotta Do', her own 'To Be Young, Gifted and Black', 'Here Comes the Sun', Dylan's 'Just Like a Woman', and more.

The set also features the Daryl Hall cover 'Rich Girl from Baltimore', her lone CTI album, and Rod McKuen's title track from 'A Single Woman', her last album released in 1993 from Elektra.

There are 31 tracks in all, and virtually every one of them essential Simone. The sheer breadth and depth of her phrasing and delivery when revealed in this way are nothing short of astonishing. Simone was virtually limitless in her abilities to cover almost any genre in her way, which transformed all the songs into hers alone.

While there are other collections that address different parts of Simone's career more completely (many of which I'll later be posting in here too), and sometimes - as in the case of the Verve box 'Four Women' - exhaustively, this is the only one most fans and curiosity seekers will return to over and over again.
