Wonderful...as far as it goes! October 28, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This set is fantastic, in that it covers Nina`s career from her very first recordings for Bethlehem (including of course My Baby Just Cares For Me)right up to the title track from her last album Single Woman(which has just been reissued with some great bonus tracks). Along the way there are numerous brilliant previously unreleased tracks and live recordings, including several from the terrific A Very Rare Evening set. Needless to say with Nina the performances are committed, sometimes quirky and often electrifying. And the dvd performances are long overdue for issue. What`s not so good is the omission of anything from Nina`s Back, Live at Ronnie Scott`s or Fodder In Her Wings, and it would have been wonderful to have the complete Very Rare Evening; tapes of it exist-the Japanese re-issue of the LP was only part of the evening.The set is touted as the first ever cross label compilation!). The packaging is really odd! It is a long box format but opens out horizontally to about 3 feet!!! wide making it rather cumbersome, and the card cover will wear out very quickly I suspect. I would suggest putting the discs in separate cases. Having said that, there are some fabulous rare photos of the young Nina scattered throughout the booklet, although I am not sure if they come from sometime husband Andy Stroud`s new book entitled Black Is The Color. Buy it for the rare and unreleased material and the all too rare TV performances. (Will we ever get the ITV(London Weekend?)show released?
