Nina Simone - It Is Finished

Release Date: 17 October

All National Album Day releases are restricted to one of each per customer. Any orders with multiples of the same release will be cancelled.

Filled with brilliant cover versions, as its title suggests Simone’s 1974 album marked the end of an era: her militant activism had largely concluded, it was her final album for RCA, and she bid farewell to the US as she moved to Barbados. A blend of live and studio performances, it is sought-after for her powerful rendition of Tina Turner’s ‘Funkier Than A Mosquito’s Tweeter’, as well as takes on ‘Mr Bojangles’, Steppenwolf’s ‘The Pusher’, and the 1930s blues classic ‘I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl’. This special pressing is on Sunhat Yellow coloured vinyl (to match Nina’s hat on the sleeve).
