Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Nancy & Lee (Deluxe Edition) (2022)

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s 1968 duet album Nancy and Lee is to be reissued by Light in the Attic Records next month.

Nancy and Lee arguably represents the pinnacle of the collaborative efforts of one of pop music’s most unlikely pairings. Featuring lush orchestral arrangements by Billy Strange, and boasting the talents of famed Los Angeles session musicians The Wrecking Crew, the album went on to sell over a million copies worldwide.

This first ever official reissue is described as ‘definitive’ by the label since it comes with Nancy’s involvement and sees the audio remastered from the original analog tapes by engineer John Baldwin. There are two bonus tracks in the form of ‘Tired Of Waiting For You’ and ‘Love Is Strange’ both recorded as part of the album sessions.

The vinyl edition is pressed at RTI (see video above) and is presented in a gatefold sleeve and comes with a 20-page booklet with an array of photos from Nancy’s personal collection along with an in-depth Q&A with Sinatra, conducted by the reissue’s co-producer, Hunter Lea. As well as standard black vinyl, there’s various coloured editions available, including a gold vinyl edition.

The reissue is also available as a digipak CD with booklet (no oversized hardcover book edition this time), cassette tape and even 8-track (if you order direct from the label).
