peaked at number one in the Dutch Top 40. The album was released in the wake of this. In 1989, Cohodas reports, Simone hired Steven Ames Brown, a San Francisco lawyer who specialized in royalty recovery. Together they 'sued a California distributor, Street Level Trading, and the British- based Charly Records for breach of contract in a licensing deal made in 1987 for Nina’s Bethlehem recordings. The lawsuit charged that the two defendants were in breach of the deal and had committed fraud in the way they executed the arrangement. Nina claimed she was owed $200,000'. In a slight reversal, Nina 'had been so outspoken in criticizing Charly for failing to pay her proper royalties that the label filed a defamation suit against her in a London court and added Brown to the litigation, too, after he spoke out on her behalf. All the legal maneuvering tied up any royalty payments until Nina’s suit was settled for an undisclosed sum in the summer of 1990. As part of the settlement Charly dropped the defamation claims'. Little Girl Blue (1992 Extended Version) Little Girl Blue was reissued by Bethlehem in 1992 on CD (Bethlehem 30042), with the three additional tracks from the 1957 session which had previously appeared during the 1959-1962 period as 7" vinyl single tracks (either A Sides or B Sides) and on the vinyl compilation album Nina Simone and Her Friends. Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club (2002 Remaster) In 2002 the album was remastered and reissued under the subtitle of the original title, Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club, by Charly / Snapper Music (SNAP 216 CD). As well as including the three session tracks like the 1992 re-issue, this album also included - anachronistically - 'My Baby Just Cares for Me (Extended Version)'. When the reissued single had been a hit in 1987, there was also a twelve inch single mix created, named the 'Special Extended Smoochtime Version', with a 5.23 running time. This is the version of the track that is labelled 'My Baby Just Cares for Me (Extended Version)' and closes Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club.
