referencing Black Gold (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo) LSP-4248
So many better representations of Simone’s work on other albums. This audio quality is sub par even though this is a re recorded version.- Livelier and funkier than most of the live Nina records I've come upon. Love the percussion and the good vibes from the crowd. Wish I had been there.

This is, musically speaking, a must have from Nina. Unfortunately the original sound capture is very inconsistent, most of the time sounds muffled and sometimes everything becomes shrill with distortion. I imagine that Music On Vinyl couldn’t do much more with it.

What be the sound quality of this here vinyl please?- This is a poorly recorded album. Constant background hiss and muffled vocals.
