'Little Girl Blue', released in 1957, was Nina Simone's frst studio recording. It was originally issued on the Bethlehem label and features the singer and pianist backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath.

Many of the tracks from this LP would become true classics, among them her perennial version of "My Baby Just Cares For Me". The album introduced Nina not only as a brilliant singer, but also as a unique jazz pianist. She was a solid improviser and her reworking of such well- known standards as Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo" and Tadd Dameron's "Good Bait", reveal her extensive classical music training.

Features the following bonus tracks from the same session but not included on the original LP: 'He's Got The Whole World In His Hands' / 'For All We Know' / 'African Mailman'

Tracks: Mood Indigo / Don't Smoke In Bed / He Needs Me / Little Girl Blue / Love Me Or Leave Me / My Baby Just Cares For Me / He's Got The Whole World In His Hands / For All We Know / Good Bait / Plain Gold Ring / You'll Never Walk Alone / I Loves You Porgy / Central Park Blues
