Album release year
[edit]The article currently has the album release year as 1959. The first appearance of this album in Billboard magazine that I could find is in the April 4, 1960 edition in the "Showcase of New and Outstanding LP's" section on page 47 (if I'm counting the pages correctly). The introduction of this section says:
- The records listed on these pages are the new 12-inch, long-play releases with the greatest potential appeal to the record-buying public, in the opinion of the review panel of The Billboard, the record industry's leading business publication.
so the album was considered new on April 4, 1960.
In addition, the back cover of the US Nina Simone and Her Friends CD reissue, Bethlehem 538671452, states:
- Originally issued as Bethlehem BS-6041 (1960)
I will be updating the release year to 1960 based on this. This makes the release date consistent with the date given in the "Additional album releases" section of the Nina Simone discography article (current link: Nina Simone discography#Additional album releases).
