Hazlewood, Lee
LHI Years: Singles, Nudes & Backsides
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed Limited Edition 2012 RSD 2LP Gatefold. A Removable Custom Foldover With Artist/Title Obscures The Lovely Ladies Full Glory. “One Could Go Off The Rails Trying To Explain The Odd Genius Of Lee Hazlewood. A Born Wanderer, A Natural Iconoclast, And A Man Who Simply Heard Music His Own Way And Was Somehow Able To Sail The Shark-Infested Waters Of The Music Business On His Own Terms By Out-Sharking The Sharks And Doing What He Pleased, Hazlewood Defied Easy Definitions. He Was A Fascinating Songwriter With A Sort Of Desert Vegas Cowboy Vision Of Life, And He Was A Subtle, Brilliant, And Innovative Producer In The Studio, Crafting Recordings That Had Enough Echo, Space, And Surprises That Phil Spector Viewed Him As A Mentor. Hazlewood Was Every Bit As Eccentric As Spector, Too, And At The Close Of The '60s, He Suddenly Moved To Stockholm, Started His Own Label, LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries), And Turned Out A Fair Amount Of Extremely Interesting Material, Most Of Which Wasn't Even Remotely Aimed At Commercial Success. Light In The Attic Records Has Begun An Archival Reissue Series Of Some Of These Rare Hazlewood Sides, And This Set, Which Covers 1968 To 1971, Is The First Of These.” – Steve Leggett, AMG
