The original version gave it an ironic theme, but Simone transformed it into a thrilling love song, complete with horns and strings, becoming one of her most well-known songs. She used the title for her 1992 autobiography \"I Put A Spell On You\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve Label Group and Universal Music Enterprises' new audiophile Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings.

It's her most consistently excellent Philips era album and it and Pastel Blues, both released in 1965, are ideal showcases for both Simone's enduring artistry and for what made her Philips era records special. The sound of both of these records is the best that's been produced from these tapes and both records are well worth owning.\u003cfooter\u003e-Michael Fremer, Analog Planet, Music 9\/11, Sound 9\/11\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic Sounds Series reissue from Verve\/Universal Music Enterprises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered by Ryan K.
