NINA SIMONE Wild Is The Wind (Acoustic Sounds Verve Series limited edition 11-track stereo LP mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analogue tapes and pressed at QRP on 180-gram black vinyl. Originally released in 1966, Wild Is The Wind captures Nina Simone in one of her most eclectic and emotionally resonant moments. The album compiles material recorded during earlier Philips sessions, yet it plays with a singular vision that has made it one of her most enduring works. With her dusky, expressive voice and intense phrasing, Simone navigates a range of styles-from the roadhouse soul of "I Love Your Lovin' Ways" to the poetic desolation of "Lilac Wine" and the haunting narrative of "Four Women," a powerful piece addressing racial identity and societal perception. The unforgettable title track remains a highlight of Simone's entire catalogue. Remastered as part of the Verve Acoustic Sounds series, this pressing uses the original analog tapes and is packaged in a heavyweight tip-on gatefold jacket with original cover art, hype sticker & factory sealed.
