What a set of albums. Last year there was a 3-CD set called Ridin' High containing all Peggy's albums released on Capitol between 1957-59, plus singles and an "exclusive" interview. Can't help wondering if we are in for the same sort of thing with the five 1960 albums. Whatever happens, it's nice to "celebrate" the great albums Peggy had available fifty years ago, and to quote the back of the Latin ala Lee sleeve... Viva La Lee!

This has already been issued on mini-LP CD format in Japan once before. However, I thought I would mention this latest re-issue (LPT-1125) on the LPTime label, as it also contains 8 bonus tracks, as follows: Baubles, bangles and beads / He needs me/ I never knew / Apples, peaches and cherries / That's what a woman is for / Never mind / Where can I go without you? / I don't know enough about you

For those not aware of the LPTime label, these are expensive imports which I believe are semi-bootleg. They originate in Europe (Spain) and are aimed squarely at the Japanese market (they even come with their own version of the OBI strip). However, they are stocked by HMV Japan....]]> paulb Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:03:32 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13408,13408#msg-13408 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13408,13408#msg-13408 Cristian Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:37:41 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13399,13399#msg-13399 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13399,13399#msg-13399 Rendezvous With Peggy Lee.

I am thrilled to finally be able to tell you that a movie is in the works about my grandmother, Peggy Lee. My family and I could not be happier to report that the immensely talented Reese Witherspoon acquired the rights to Peggy Lee's life story and will be playing Peggy, and that the amazing Nora Ephron will be writing and directing.

However, it's nothing to get excited about. If you listen to the previews, each proves to be Manana.

Apparently, the budget-priced ($10.98) CDs were issued by Setco on July 6, 2010, and while each features a good selection of Peggy Lee classics, I can't help but be disturbed by the schlocky nature of these presumably unauthorized releases. As we all know, Peggy Lee was a perfectionist, and these CDs seem to be second-rate items, judging by the covers. Perhaps the sound quality is sloppy, too.

Like everyone here, I look forward to new releases of Peggy Lee's recordings, but these aren't exactly what we've been waiting for, and in this instance, I hope the items don't sell, as they seem to promise a poorly packaged introduction to her and to her recordings.]]> Kevin Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:28:03 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13360,13360#msg-13360 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13360,13360#msg-13360 raymond Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Wed, 11 Aug 2010 05:36:57 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13357,13357#msg-13357 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13357,13357#msg-13357 vince mauro Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:15:33 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13332,13332#msg-13332 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13332,13332#msg-13332
I have seen her Halo endorsement. Actually in comic strip form. I have also seen the Chesterfield cigarettes, and I am wondering whether Peggy Lee had endorsed other commercial product. This may seem a trivial question, but I am just curious.

I would like to let you know about my new show, The Peggy Lee Songbook, which will debut Sunday, July 25 (8:30 pm) at Feinstein's at Loews Regency (540 Park Avenue (at 61st St.)New York, NY 10021--212-339-4095).

Grammy-award-winning pianist Bill Cunliffe will be joining me in celebrating the songwriting talents of Peggy Lee. This is not a typical tribute show--it focuses on the creative spirit of Peggy and is composed totally of songs she wrote herself (collaborating with the likes of Ellington, Arlen, Quincy Jones, John Chiodini, Victor Young, Dave Barbour, etc.) I am pleased to be among those collaborators--Peggy's estate granted me permission to contribute music to an un-set poem she published privately, and our song, "Burn It Slow" was born, the newest in Lee's Songbook. For information see my website, www.tishoney.com. We are currently the only Peggy Lee show endorsed and supported by The Peggy Lee Foundation and Peggy Lee Enterprises for the purposes of spreading the word about her songwriting genius. Please join us in our efforts to fill the room for this special event and thank you for your support!

Yours,
Tish Oney]]> tishoney Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:10:21 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13301,13301#msg-13301 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13301,13301#msg-13301
The sound quality on the Julies is much better then on the earlier EMI UK reissues. Let's hope Peggy will be next. In fact I think she should have been first.

I was wondering whether Margaret Whiting is still alive. Did Peggy ever cross paths with her? I read, some time ago, that Margaret was going with a guy much younger than she. I think that makes her an "original" cougar!

Hope all is well with all of you.

He also played two very contrasting recordings in "I've Got Them Feelin' Too Good Today Blues" and "A Brown Bird Singing".

I have long loved B&TB (both versions) and so many playings over time were bound to create this effect but it also brings to mind a quote mentioned by Peter Stoller in his wonderful notes for Peggy Lee Sings Leiber And Stoller when referring to Peg's death he says that noted jazz critic Nat Hentoff said "you could hear her voice after it stopped".

In no way is this meant to take away from John's attractive vocal and indeed I highly recommend his disc.

Incidentally, I never cease to be surprised at the amazing subtleties I find in every area of that stunning Leiber & Stoller album each time I play it. Truly a landmark recording!

A footnote about the artwork for The Rare Delight Of You. I have quite good eyesight, but trying to read tiny black print on a dark blue background is a real turn-off when attempting to read info about composers or personnel (was it our friend Bob Wallace who touched on this in another thread?). For a long time now I have been irritated by the fashion in the artworld, particularly for movie posters or newspaper advertising, where you might be able to read who the principal actors are but if you try to read about supporting players etc you find the print becomes so squeezed and elongated that you wonder what the point is and give up. I guess, like the never-ending and barely readable end credits for movies on TV, there may be a legal requirement, but boy, is it boring.

Enough! I am now rambling and becoming a bore myself!]]> tony Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:00:33 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13260,13260#msg-13260 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13260,13260#msg-13260 RootedInND Peggy Lee Bulletin Board Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:51:27 -0600 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13257,13257#msg-13257 http://www.peggylee.com/pegleebb/read.php?3,13257,13257#msg-13257
I thought that I must let you know how it is that Peggy keeps cropping up, on a very regular basis, in the UK. She is a regular on several radio programmes, on both the BBC and independent stations, and clearly appeals to a really wide variety of listeners. She's almost a genre of her own!

A few weeks ago, "Suggs", the lead singer from the 80's group "Madness" was being interviewed. I sat listening and enjoying his choice of records, which was mostly contemporary and rock. At the end of the programme, he announced that he'd kept the best for last... and introduced Peggy singing "Is That All There Is". It reminded me, again, of how timeless Peggy is, and the breadth of material she covered, which just seems to appeal to so many.

Today, it was the turn of Mick Jagger. I missed quite a bit of the programme, but I was just thrilled to bits, when he also announced his last record was Peggy... again singing "Is That All There Is"! What a following she has!

Best wishes to all,
