The re-issued CD does include other songs recorded by Nina Simone for the Bethlehem label not included on the original vinyl release but the additions fit right in with the jazzy, soulful feel of the musical landscape and their inclusion was a wise choice indeed. "Little Girl Blue" was not only a groundbreaking musical treasure; it's quite simply the eight wonder of the world!

Originally intended as a solo album where Steve Winwood would write every song and play every instrument, this ended up as one of Traffic's all time classic albums, with Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood joining Winwood to produce an eclectic mix of styles, including the wonderful cover of the folk song, John Barleycorn Must Die. This newly remixed version also includes bonus live tracks from a series of concerts recorded in Fillmore East, New York 1970. Music to die for!
