Nina Simone and Other Sisters of the 50s -- The Essential Collection

New Music Monday,

Surprise! There was a release 7/10/2011 of "Nina Simone and Other Sisters of the 50s . . . The Essential Collection" --

How do they manage to do that? Who is receiving the royalties for this re-release? I have all these Ninas already, but I guess it would be important if you had none of them. $11.99 for a 3-CD set. If the recording is half-good, this is the deal of the century. You know I love Nina Simone, and cannot not pass up the opportunity to have her picture here on In-Box Jewels whenever the opportunity arises.
