Just recently a 24/192 version of Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue has appeared on some digital download sites and debate has flowed about the quality and origin of this high resolution download.
I am not particularly fond of digital download sites and always try to purchase hard copy as my first option. I'm sure this is down to my age but I like to have a proper back-up if I lost everything in a catastrophic failure.
Reading the debate regarding Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue a number of contributors alluded to the fantastic sound of a 2006 licensed re-issue of a remastered special edition by Fuel 2000 Records Inc.
After a quick search around Amazon I purchased the 2006 Fuel remaster from America and am delighted with the results.
Nina Simone's recordings are never short of emotion and evoke that feeling that you are sitting in a smoky jazz club but this version transfers you there immediately - it is fundamentally 'right' and delivers far more character and personality to the recording.
Thoroughly recommended.
I'm also generally someone who enjoys having the CD as well. I buy DVD's and CD's the most :D I like those. Also, listened to Nina Simone just because of your post. She's really good. I like Feeling Good :) Probably going to get a cd of her's too now ^^

Really glad that you liked the music - read up about her life as well - she refused to be stereotyped and did things her way which was totally against the climate of racism/sexism present in the world at that time.
