      4 out of 5 stars Nina Simone - Unheard.......2005-07-14

      Not a CD for those just beginning to paddle in the deep waters of Ms Simone, this collection is immensely gratifying for fans who have just about everything she recorded and are looking for those rare studio out-takes and live recordings which are off the radar of most Nina compilation CDs. Her recording of 'But Beautiful' for instance - surely the most original, unsettling and singularly affecting interpretation of the song? Then there's the live version of 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' - which surpasses the better known studio recording for the sheer emotional landscapes Nina traverses in the course of the performance - her half-spoken delivery cresting to a bellow; the song protracted and quasi-improvised, as if just discovered.

      The sound quality of some of the recordings is poor - but I have heard the same recordings on other compilation CDs, where they were practically unlistenable. The engineers have done a superb job of clearing up the sound (many of these tracks were never intended for release) and if listened to sympathetically, the ragged quality of especially the live tracks (mostly from the concert at Berkeley) actually adds to their atmosphere. Most of the Berkeley concert is included, with Nina in fiery, if beleagered form. The CD is worth the price alone to hear her declaim, towards the end of 'Ain't Got No/I Got Life', that she has been alive for at least 5000 years! And the audience sound like they believe her.

      I was wary of buying this CD when I first saw it - the cover is very dodgy, and looks like a bootleg - and I believe the casual listener would be better off getting one of the more conventional collections, but I am glad to say that the collection is a treasure trove of unheard and unexpected gems which offers a unique perspective on a less readily available side of the artist's recording career.

      4 out of 5 stars I like this CD just fine,.......2005-01-01

      This is my first Nina Simone CD and I bought it because I believe it was the CD shown at the end of the movie Before Sunset. The song "Just in Time" (song 4, disk 2) is the one played at the end of the movie.

      Since I wanted the "Just in Time" song, I think my only two purchase choices were to get this CD set or buy Nina At the Village Gate [Roulette] [LIVE]. The latter CD has 8 songs and is only a few dollars cheaper than this 2 CD set. I went for the bargain deal and am happy with the purchase.

      Yes, many of the tracks seem to have been recorded by a bad tape machine in the basement of jazz club, but whether that is the case or not, I don't care. The whole CD is very chill and is a great one to play when wanting to calm down during the stressful evening commute or better yet, play it while you take your time preparing your dinner after the stressful commute.

      There may be better Simone CDs out there, but for the song I wanted, this CD set was the right price. It also ended up being a nice addition to my CD collection.

      3 out of 5 stars look elsewhere for introduction to simone.......2004-10-02

      There are lots of better Nina Simone albums out there. The Tomato Collection contains lesser heard songs, and a few gems like 'Just in Time,' 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,' and 'Solitude,' but overall the 37 tracks lack focus and cohesion. The combination of high-quality recording with tracks of low-quality, and the variations of live and studio recordings give off a disjointed mood. Unless you're looking for specific songs, check out Anthology (easily the best Simone double disc collection), Sugar in My Bowl: The Very Best of Nina Simone, The Essential Nina Simone, Village Gate, or Verve Jazz Masters for better quality and continuity.

        5 out of 5 stars This music will get your kids dancing!.......2003-05-09

        The Tomato Collection CD is great fun! I am an elementary school media specialist, and every student in every grade loved the music. It is unique as a kids' CD in that it is "real" music: rock, pop, blues, and much more. My students were frequently overheard walking down the halls, singing songs from The Tomato Collection. This is a CD that belongs in every elementary-school classroom. Buy the book, The Tomato Collection, too for a complete set!

        5 out of 5 stars I promise...you want this........2001-08-09

        The Tomato Collection CD which compliments the Tomato Collection book absolutely rocks! I am a third grade teacher and I have shared the book with my students and they could not get enough of it last year. Over the summer I purchased this CD and I can hardly wait to use it in my classroom. Funny thing is...I listen to it frequently because I enjoy it so much. The quality of entertainment and talent is amazing. The variety of musical "genre" is wonderful as it keeps the listener engaged and not feeling overwhelmed by the same type of "sound". I promise...you want this.

        5 out of 5 stars You've never heard anything like it!.......2001-04-17

        This album has never been done before. No how, no way. And it will never be done again. Uh-uh, of that I am sure.

        There is no way to describe it other than wonderous, fresh, and original. Get this album. I have it. You should too.

        I don't even know Kevin. I only know what he did is good and Kevin I hope you keep doing it for a long time.

        Get two copies, because you will want to turn your friends onto it - whether you or they are kids or adults. My kids love this album, and so do I.

        Yay!

        5 out of 5 stars but don't take my word for it...check it out for yourself!.......2000-12-19

        Hi there...I am also a musician from this CD. Kevin gathered many, many artists together to make this CD happen. Without trying to sound biased, this is one of the most original, fun, and creative concepts in the world. Young or older, this is an amazing project...do yourself, or a loved one a favor and check out this album. It is in my opinion, extremely underpriced. The love and energy that went into squeezing OVER 50 TRACKS OF MUSIC on one itty-bitty CD is a rarity. I want to describe this disc for you, but I know I will be unable to give it the justice it deserves. Everyone involved added a little diversity that helped make Kevin's album a real success. Its truely hard to imply in mere words how necessary owning this CD is...you have no idea what you are missing, buy this CD today and you won't regret it. :)

        5 out of 5 stars A remarkable achievement.......2000-12-18

        I am actually one of the people on the CD, and therefore I can tell you how truly amazing this compelation is. Kevin Kammeraad continued his writing genious to put together such a wonderful CD. If you liked the book (and even if you've never read it), you will love the CD. The music really makes the book come alive. Excellent work.... More details coming in Febtober.
