Fill with brilliant cover versions, as its title suggests, Simone's 1974 album marked the end of an era: her militant activism had largely concluded, this 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 1930's 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.
