Lee Hazlewood - The LHI Year: Singles, Nudes & Backsides (1968 - 71) (2LP Coloured Vinyl)

With his mustache and booming baritone, Lee Hazlewood was one of the defining stars of the late '60s. Though perhaps best known for his work with Nancy Sinatra (including the megahit "These Boots Are Made For Walking"), Hazlewood also did impressive work away from this particular glamour queen, finding later champions in Beck, Sonic Youth and Jarvis Cocker. Now, for Record Store Day 2012, we begin our excavation of the Lee Hazlewood archives with this anthology, Singles, Nudes & Backsides, collecting the best of Lee's solo songs and duets from his LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) imprint.

A true legend of the great American songbook and a rebellious pioneer who left a long trail of echolastic pop masterpieces, Lee's influence reverberates to this day. Between 1968-71, Hazlewood not only released his best solo works, but also produced numerous artists on LHI. From acid-folk and country-rock to pop-psych and soul, LHI released dozens of long-forgotten 45s and LPs. This series features material from LHI (remastered from the original analog tapes for the first time), along with Lee's releases for other labels, rarities and unreleased gems.
