Originally recorded in 1985, following a lengthy semi-retirement from the music business and time spent living in Barbados and Liberia, "Nina’s Back" features a rejuvenated Nina Simone reaching out to a wider musical audience:  A well-chosen set of memorable standards and several Simone original compositions, the band includes horns and backup singers for a recording that’s unique in Nina’s catalog.   Originally released on LP, cassette and later in the 80s on CD, Verve Records, in partnership with the Nina Simone Estate, are proud to release this album with refreshed artwork on vinyl, CD, and for the first time ever digitally.
