Nina Simone's sixth album for Philips, released in 1966, was compiled from unreleased recordings from sessions for previous Philips albums. The song "Four Women" was released as a single, and gained attention when banned by the New York jazz focused radio station WLIB due to concern over the lyrics.

Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analog tapes; pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QPR; and presented in deluxe high-quality Stoughton Printing gatefold tip-on jackets.
