A compilation of previously unseen live performances and interviews with Nina Simone is due for online release today (April 8).

“Protest Anthology”, so-called because of the political nature of much of her work, features live renditions of some of Simone’s best-loved songs, including “Strange Fruit”, “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” and “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free “.
