Nina Simone- Nina Simone Released

This compilation gathers 21 songs from a small period in the career of Nina Simone, the 1967-1968 era of the British hit "Ain"t Got No (I Got Life)" and LPs like 1967"s Silk & Soul. 
Those looking for a tight collection of Simone"s crossover period will find much to love here, from "It Be"s That Way Sometimes" and "The Backlash Blues" to covers of "I Shall Be Released," "Just Like a Woman," and "The Look of Love." 
The big caveat, however, is the presence of "Ain"t Got No (I Got Life)" only in a live version, which makes this collection much more difficult to justify. 
It"s worth picking up on a whim, but definitely not a careful search
