Juke Jules SUBS 27th Nov 2016		From the notes submitted by cussincarryinon02: BB May 30, 1964, p. 9 (Philips ad). BB June 6, 1964, p. 36 (New album releases). BB August 8, 1964, p. 38 (New action LP's); repeated in the August 15 and 22 issues. First charted in BB's Top LP's on September 19, 1964 (# 142), highest position #102 in mid-November. From JET Magazine, August 13, 1964, p. 48: "Singer Nina Simone and her boss LP, Nina Simone In Concert. But after it gets off a few innocent numbers, she really warms things up with the tune, Mississippi Goddam, which begins: 'Alabama's got me so upset; Tennessee made me lose my rest; and everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam.' And Nina says she means every word of it, too." From Negro Digest, July 1965, p. 15: "(...). On Nina Simone in Concert, her Philips album (stereo), she seems to have the right mood, but maybe her material is off-beat. There're 'I Loves You, Porgy,' and 'Plain Gold Ring,', two numbers on which the lady can scarcely go wrong, but the introduction of what can only be called 'militant soul music' comes as a shock. Really, with Mississippi and Alabama boiling the blood every headline, we hardly need to be inflamed when we relax with a Scotch and Miss Simone. But one-half of the album deals with subjects like 'Mississippi Goddam,', 'Old Jim Crow' and 'Go Limp.' Fine, for civil rights-and we're all for civil rights, you bet!-but after a hard day's struggle, we like to have Nina soothe us (...)".
