The most tantalizing item for serious fans is the DVD of a 1970 television special, though it turns out to be a little less exciting than one might have hoped. Though there's not much in the way of rarities, the set also does contain half a dozen previously unreleased live tracks of merit four songs from the hard-to-find album A Very Rare Evening, recorded live in Germany in April 1969 and a couple (a live cover of 's 'Suzanne' and an alternate version of 'Ain't Got No - I Got Life') that make their first U.S. The two post-1973 cuts - one from 1978 and one from her final proper album, 1993's - seem like afterthoughts to ensure that most of her career was covered in some way, but that's justifiable considering that the last three decades of her life saw little in the way of noteworthy recordings. To focus on the positives, however, most of disc one does include strong pre-RCA tracks from the first decade of her recording career, including some of her best-known classics of the time, like 'My Baby Just Cares for Me,' 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,' 'See-Line Woman,' 'I Put a Spell on You,' and 'Four Women.' While the RCA era arguably saw her move too much into pop-oriented production on occasion and too many covers of pop/rock hits, the selections from that era are chosen with intelligence, including a good number of live tracks. Perhaps that's because it's on the RCA/Legacy label, but certainly a good case could be made that her pre-1967 recordings for a variety of other companies (most often Philips) were worthy of greater representation. If one is to criticize, however, it's that it does seem heavily weighted toward her 1967-1973 recordings for RCA, which take up about two-thirds of the three audio discs.

Any complaint about this particular package has more to do with the balance of eras represented than the quality of the contents, which is generally very good. From the late '50s until her death, she was one of the great unclassifiable pop singers of the 20th century, and if her voluminous recording career was erratic, the first 15 years at any rate had many highlights. There's no question that is richly deserving of a three-CD (plus one DVD), 51-song box set such as. More Nina Simone Discography available on the site.
