In what could be an indication of successive reprints (or alternatively, a snowball of misinformation), a few sources give additional release dates for this CD -- 2008, 2011.

14. Title: Black Coffee With Peggy Lee / Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Uccu 9631 / Rel. Year: 2008 / Note: This is yet another out of the many Japanese CD reissues of Black Coffee With Peggy Lee (at least 11 as of 2011, and counting, allo f them from Universal, owner of the Decca masters since the late 1990s). For a comprehensive list of such Japanese reissues, consult the Foreign Pressings page.

Year: 2004 / Tracks: 12 / Note: First and only American CD edition of the album under discussion. Part of Verve's "Master Edition" series, the original masters were used for its preparation.

16. Title: Black Coffee & Sea Shells / Format: CD / Label: MCA International / Cat. Num.: (England) Mcld 19363 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 27 / Note: This is a twofer CD, prepared by the owners of the masters. However, due to the location (England), it probably was not sourced from the original masters (housed in the United States) but from company tape copies, housed in England.

17. Title: In The Late Hours; Black Coffee & Pete Kelly's Blues / Format: CD / Label: Flare / Cat. Num.: (England) Roycd 247 / Rel.

19. Title: Black Coffee With Peggy Lee / Format: CD / Label: Hallmark / Cat. Num.: (England) 710992 / Rel. Year: 2011 / Tracks: 12 / Note: As the twenty-first century progresses and music issued after 1950 begins to become fair game for European Public Domain companies, more and more Peggy Lee albums are unfortunately being re-released by the mass-marketing, horrendously subpar label Hallmark. The company's CDs are becoming justly infamous for their uneven, sometimes atrocious sound quality. Some of them suffer from obvious needle skips and extensive background noise (originating in the worn out LPs and CDs that the label carelessly uses for copying).

In the absence of any actual specifics about the release date, I have tentatively assumed it to fall within the 1960s. / Tracks: 4 / Note: All tracks in this EP were originally issued in the Decca LP Black Coffee.

General Note
Songs In An Intimate Style, the successor to the 10" vinyl version of Black Coffee, is basically an anthology, though a very satisfactory one. The promotional note in the back cover of the album states that "Peggy's preceding album, Black Coffee, was acclaimed by her fans and was immediately followed by demands for a new group of Peggy Lee songs. This collection is the answer to that demand." The tracks come from sessions which were not only held months apart (November 28, 1952; February 13, 1953; September 14 and 16, 1953) but also led by three different conductors (Victor Young, Sy Oliver, Gordon Jenkins). Despite such divergence of personnel and recording dates, Songs In An Intimate Style still manages to come off as a cohesive collection of beautifully sung numbers, thanks in no small measure to its uniformly romantic mood. Of the 8 tracks, 7 are love ballads which Peggy Lee renders with a deep sense of intimacy. The eight one ("Apples, Peaches And Cherries") is actually a charming folk ballad (rather than a modern-day ballad), but its theme is love, too.

III. LADY AND THE TRAMP, SONGS FROM WALT DISNEY'S






Album Covers Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: EP & (10") LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: Ed 728 (91505-91506) & Dl 5557 / Rel. Year: 1955 / Tracks: 9 (total). 6 (numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 3 (numbers performed by Oliver Wallace and The Disney Studio Orchestra, George Givot, and The Mellomen aka The Pound Hounds) / Note: These are the original editions of this album, both of them released two years before the 12" LP (seen below, item #4). Some of the numbers in this EP and 10" LP were actually taken from the movie soundtrack, whereas others are Peggy Lee's own recordings of songs that other artists sing in the movie. (For further details, see general note at the end of this entry.)

3. Title: Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: (10") LP / Label: Brunswick / Cat. Num.: (England) La 8731 / Rel. Year: 1955? / Tracks: 9 (total). 6 (numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 3 (numbers performed by Oliver Wallace and The Disney Studio Orchestra, George Givot, and The Mellomen aka The Pound Hounds) / Note: British version of item #2.






4. Title: Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: DL 8462 / Rel. Year: 1957 / Tracks: 13 (total). 10 (numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 3 (numbers performed by Oliver Wallace and The Disney Studio Orchestra, George Givot, and The Mellomen aka The Pound Hounds). / Note: In 1956, Peggy Lee recorded new tracks expressly for inclusion in this expanded, 12" LP edition of the original 10" LP and EP. The newly recorded songs were not brand new composiitons, however, but had been previously considered for inclusion in the original 1955 movie.

5. Title: Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: LP / Label: Decca's Ace Of Hearts / Cat. Num.: (England) Ah 70 / Rel. Year: 1964 / Tracks: British reissue of item #4.

Year: 1975 / Tracks: 13 (total). 10 (numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 3 (numbers performed by Oliver Wallace and The Disney Studio Orchestra, George Givot, and The Mellomen aka The Pound Hounds). / Note: Reissue of item #4 above.

8. Title: Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp; All The Songs From The Film / Format: LP / Label: DISNEYLAND / Cat. Num.: 1231 / Rel. Year: 1979 / Tracks: 8 / Note: Since I have not actually listened to this album, I am not certain about the number of vocals by Peggy Lee that it contains. If the album contains the movie soundtrack, then Lee's 3 performances from the film should be the only ones included here: "La La Lu," "The Siamese Cat Song" and "He's A Tramp." Alternatively, this Disneyland issue could actually be a reissue of the 10" Decca LP Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp, in which case Lee would be heard singing not only the 3 aforementioned songs but also 3 others ("What Is A Baby?," "Bella Notte," and the "Peace on Earth/Silent Night" medley). Besides those 6 songs, the album includes 2 others which are definitely sans Lee, the instrumental "Lady" and the barbershop-style quartet harmony "Home, Sweet Home." For the time being -- while hoping to find out which tracks Lee actually sings -- I have listed only the 3 likeliest ones. Also bear in mind the existence of an allegedly earlier (1962) edition of Disneyland LP 1231. That edition features a different cover (Lady and The Tramp smilingly facing one another while standing on the ground, with a rainbow of interconnected circles behind them) and definitely does not include any Lee vocals. Instead, a vocalist named Teri York sings the Lee vocals. (York, and not Lee, could of course be the singer in the 1979 edition under discussion, too. I would appreciate receiving confirmation or denial from owners of the 1975 album.)

9. Title: Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: CS & LP / Label: BBC Music / Cat. Num.: (England) Zcm 538 & Rec 538 / Rel. Year: 1984 / Tracks: 8 (between 3 and 6 possibly sung by Peggy Lee) / Note: Reissue of the aforementioned 1979 Disneyland LP.





Album Covers Shown:

10 - 13. Title: Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: LP / Label: DISNEY RECORDS / Cat. Num.: 3103 / Rel. Year: 1980 / Tracks: 9 (total). 3 (soundtrack numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 6 (numbers not performed by Lee) / Note: This is a picture disc, marketed to Disney's audience of children. Shown above are both sides of the picture disc, along with the yellow jacket that houses the disc (#10, #13). The other two images show the discs outside of their respective jackets. The tracks are taken from the soundtrack of the original movie. (Incidentally, Disney has released various other Lady And The Tramp albums which use later recreations of the soundtrack vocals, sung by artists other than Lee. A few of those albums do not even identify the vocalist at all. Others deceptively include Peggy Lee in the credits without specifying that she is being credited as one of the songwriters, not as one of the album's singers. See additional details in the general note at the end of this entry.)

Year: 1997 / Tracks: 22 (total). 3 (soundtrack numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 19 (soundtrack numbers in which Peggy Lee does not participate) / Note: As already stipulated, the contents of this CD come from the movie's soundtrack. In other words, this is not a reissue of Peggy Lee's original Decca album (displayed in items #1, #2, and #4 above). Furthermore, each of this CD's tracks is an assemblage of various components (e.g., sound effects, music cues, solo vocals, group vocals) which exist separately from one another, and which are housed at Disney's reel library. Rather than taking the (relatively) easy route of reissuing any existent tapes of the movie soundtrack, the producer of this CD retrieved those original components and reassembled them for release on compact disc.

15. Title: Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp / Format: CD / Label: DISNEY RECORDS / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Ocd 65008 / Rel.

16. Title: Walt Disney Records Presents Lady And The Tramp / Format: CD / Label: DISNEY RECORDS / Cat. Num.: unknown / Rel.

17. Title: Disney's Lady And The Tramp And Friends / Format: CD / Label: DISNEY RECORDS / Cat. Num.: 861428 / Rel. Year: 2006 / Tracks: 9 (total). 3 (soundtrack numbers performed by Peggy Lee) + 6 (numbers not performed by Peggy Lee, though two of them come from the Lady And The Tramp soundtrack, and feature her lyrics; remaining numbers are from modern-day Disney films.) / Note: The CDs from Disney's "And Friends" series were tie-ins to the company's Platinum Edition DVDs. The former were issued shortly after the latter came out. The 3 Peggy Lee vocals in this particular issue were "transported" or taken from a CD just discussed above, Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp.

Num.: K 149 (88186) & 1 275 (9-88186) / Rel Year: unknown / Tracks: 2 / Note: This single contains two tracks from the original Lady And The Tramp sessions: "The Siamese Cat Song" and "La La Lu," co-written and sung by Peggy Lee. These numbers were originally released in items #1 and #2 above, and also on Decca singles. Peggy Lee also recorded a second version of "The Siamese Cat Song," that did not count with any direct involvement from the Disney firm. Decca originally released both versions on 45s. (In other words, there are two Decca Peggy Lee 45 singles in which she sings different versions of "The Siamese Cat Song .")

20. Title: Siamese Cat Song ("Little Gems" Series) / Format: 78 & 45 / Label: DISNEYLAND / Cat. Num.: Lg 756 / Rel Year: 1962 / Tracks: 2 / Note: This single contains two tracks from the original Lady And The Tramp sessions: "The Siamese Cat Song" and "Bella Notte," both co-written by Peggy Lee. In the soundtrack, Peggy Lee sings the former, actor George Givot the latter. Lee also recorded her own version of "Bella Notte" for Decca Records. I do not own the 78 or the 45 currently under discussion, nor have I ever listened to it. I assume that it contains Givot's vocal of "Bella Notte," not Lee's.

The vinyl contains two tracks from the original Lady And The Tramp sessions: "He's A Tramp" and "Home, Sweet Home." In the soundtrack, Peggy Lee sings the former, whereas The Melomen (in their movie role as The Pound Hounds) bark the latter in harmony. Lee also recorded a second version of "He's A Tramp," exclusively for Decca Records. I do not own the 78 or the 45 currently under discussion, nor have I ever listened to it. I assume that it contains the original Disney version of "He's A Tramp," not the later one, made for Decca.

General Note
The original Decca issues of Songs From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp (#1 and #2) are partial movie soundtracks. In other words, some tracks are the same ones heard in the film (though some of them have been somewhat modified), whereas others are Peggy Lee's own vocal versions of self-penned songs that others perform in the movie soundtrack. For instance, Lee's self-penned "What Is A Baby?" is sung in the movie by the actress who voices the character Lady, but in Decca issues #1 and #2 Lee herself sings it. As for tracks that are the same ones in both the movie and the Decca issues, yet somewhat altered from one medium to the other, "La La Lu" is an instance. Also written by Lee, the lyrics of "La La Lu" are sung by her both the Decca album and the movie soundtrack. It is the same master, but with some alterations. The main difference pertains to length: in the film, we hear a brief, edited 2:57 version, but in the album we can listen to a longer performance that clkcs in at 4:10. Another significant difference is that the two versions use different codas, though both are still spoken by Lee. (Decca released the 2:57 version on a single. The 4:10 version would have not fit on one side of a single.)

On another note, Disney and other labels (Capitol, for one) have released additional Lady And The Tramp albums which are unlisted herein because they do not include any of Peggy Lee's vocals. Those albums are recreations of the original soundtrack, sung by vocalists newly hired for the purpose. Some of the albums are partially or fully narrated, with little or no singing involved. Particularly common is a 1962 Disneyland LP entitled Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp; All The Songs From The Film, which has been reissued on CD, and which does not contain the original soundtrack versions. For that album, the Disney company hired Teri York and Robie Lester to replace Peggy Lee. Also hired was Bob Grabeau, who replaced George Givot on "Bella Notte." However, matters are complicated by a 1979 reissue of this LP, which bears a different cover (seen above) and which might or might have not reverted to the original soundtrack tracks.

Year: 1957 / Tracks: 12 (total). 11 (numbers from the original American Decca album; the number "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face" was left out) + 1 (substitute track, "I Don't Know Enough About You"). / Note: British edition of the American album, notable for using a variation on the original artwork, and for containing a substitute track.






Album Covers Shown:

3. Title: Dream Street / Format: LP / Label: Decca's Ace Of Hearts / Cat. Num.: (England) Ah 44 / Rel. Year: 1963 / Tracks: same 12 described in #2 above. / Note: Reissue of item #2, released by a branch of British Decca. Contains the aforementioned substitute track.

Year: 1998 / Tracks: 24 (12 numbers from Dream Street and 12 numbers from Miss Wonderful) / Note: This is a twofer CD, prepared by the owners of the masters. However, due to the location (England), it probably was not sourced from the original masters (housed in the United States) but from company tape copies, housed in England. Notice that the reproduced cover is not the original on American Decca or the earliest on British Brunswick, but the one from the Ace Of Hearts reissue (#3 above).

11. Title: Black Coffee & Dream Street; The Complete Sessions / Format: CD / Label: Essential Jazz Classics / Cat. Num.: (Spain) 55441 / Rel.

Year: 1989; 1992 / Tracks: 15 (total). 12 + 3 (bonus tracks) / Note: In Japan, Lee's Decca albums have been reissued many times. I'm making special note of these two CD pressings (Mvcm 263 and 25p2 2830) because, unlike most other Japanese pressings of Dream Street, they feature 3 bonus tracks ("Autumn In Rome," "Baubles, Bangles And Beads," and "Do I Love You."). The one shown in the image above is Mvcm 263.

13. Title: So Blue / Format: LP / Label: MCA's Vocalion / Cat. Num.: Vl 3776 [mono] / 7 3776 [simulated stereo] / Rel. Year: 1966 / Tracks: 10 (total). 9 (from the original Decca album) + 1 (bonus track, "The Night Holds No Fear"). / Note: Abridged version of the album under discussion, with one bonus track.

Other Versions Of Note, Not Shown Above:

15. Title: Dream Street / Format: LP / Label: Festival / Cat. Num.: (New Zealand) Fr 12 475 / Rel. Year: unknown / Tracks: 12 / Note: I have never seen this album. My information about the album, though I believe it to be correct, is still in need of full corroboration. The album's track listing seems to be identical to that of the original American LP (#1).

VI. SEA SHELLS






Album Covers Shown:

1. Title: Sea Shells / Format: LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: Dl 8591 / Rel. Year: 1958 / Tracks: 16 (total). 12 (vocals sung by Peggy Lee) + 4 (instrumentals performed by Stella Castellucci) / Note: Original American edition of this album.

2 & 3. Title: Sea Shells / Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Uccu 5135 & Mcjv 19196 / Rel. Year: 2003 & 1999 / Tracks: Same as in #1 / Note: These are just two of the various Japanese reissues of this album. (For a comprehensive list, consult the Foreign Issues page.) The one seen in image #3 is a mini-LP sleeve.

Album Covers Shown:

8. Title: Black Coffee & Sea Shells / Format: CD / Label: MCA International / Cat. Num.: (England) Mcld 19363 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 27 / Note: This is a twofer CD, prepared by the owners of the masters. However, due to the location (England), it probably was not sourced from the original masters (housed in the United States) but from company tape copies, housed in England.

9. Back cover of the original LP.

10. Back cover of item #3.


General Note
This album was belatedly released. Decca issued it two years after Lee had left the label. She was not consulted about the choice of photo for the cover, which was not to her liking.

VII. MISS WONDERFUL






Album Covers Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Miss Wonderful / Format: LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: Dl 8816 / Rel. Year: 1959 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Image #1 shows the original American album, on Decca. Image #2 shows a Decca reissue, release date unknown.






Album Covers Shown:

3. Title: Miss Wonderful / Format: LP / Label: MCA / Cat. Num.: (Japan) 3092 / Rel. Year: 1974 / Tracks: 12 / Note: This is just one of at least two Japanese LP reissues of the original Decca album. See comprehensive list in the Foreign Pressings page.

4. Title: Miss Wonderful / Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Uccu 9335 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Tracks: 12 / Note: This is one of three or fout Japanese CD reissues of the original Decca album. See comprehensive list in the Foreign Pressings page.





Album Cover Shown:

5 & 6. Title: Miss Wonderful / Format: CD / Label: MCA / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Mvcm 262 / Rel. Year: 1992; re-pressed 1998 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Japanese CD reissue(s) of the original Decca album. Online, thediscs on both of these images are given the catalogue number 262, yet the first is dated 1992, the second 1998. I believe that the 1992 release was indeed re-pressed in 1998, but I lack corroboration for my belief. Unfortunately, the fact that the obi is missing from the first photo makes comparisons between images all the more difficult. If any reader owns the CD pictured in the second image, I would appreciate receiving verification of its catalogue number and year of release.





Album Cover Shown:

7. Title: Miss Wonderful / Format: LP / Label: Official / Cat. Num.: (Denmark) 12013 / Rel. Year: 1989 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissue of #1.





Album Covers Shown:

8. Title: Miss Wonderful - After Midnight ("Pin-Up" Series) / Format: CD / Label: [Bootleg] Marginal / Cat. Num.: (Belgium) Pc 65005 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 24 (total). 12 (from Miss Wonderful) + 12 (from Helen Grayco's After Midnight) / Note: This is a bootleg CD.

9. Title: Miss Wonderful & Dream Street / Format: CD / Label: MCA International / Cat. Num.: (England) Mcld 19382 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 24 (12 numbers from Miss Wonderful and 12 numbers from Dream Street) / Note: This is a twofer CD, prepared by the owners of the masters. However, due to the location (England), it probably was not sourced from the original masters (housed in the United States) but from company tape copies, housed in England.










  10. Back cover of the original LP.




Related Artwork:

11. The commercial firm Getty owns a shot from the Miss Wonderful photo sessions that was not picked for inclusion in the album. You should be able to see that shot here.


General Note
Miss Wonderful was put together and released three years after Peggy Lee had left Decca Records. Lending cohesiveness to the album is the brassy nature of all the tracks and the fact that Sy Oliver is credited with conducting all of them.

On a different note, a clarification about an EP entitled Miss Wonderful should be made here. Except for its inclusion of the song "Mr. Wonderful," that Festival Records EP bears no relation to the original Decca LP under scrutiny.

VIII. LOVER





Album Covers Shown:

1. Title: Lover / Format: LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: Dl 4458 [mono] / Dl 7 4458 [stereo enhanced] / Rel. Year: 1964 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Original edition of the album under discussion.

2 & 3. Title: Lover / Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) 9336 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Front and back cover of a reissue of the original album under discussion. As of 2011, the album has been issued on Japanese CD three times. For a comprehensive list of these and other reissues, consult the Foreign Pressings page.






Album Covers Shown:

4. Title: Lover / Format: EP / Label: Festival / Cat. Num.: (New Zealand) Fx 10 5003 / Rel. Year: 1958 / Tracks: 4 (total). 3 (found in the Lover LP) + 1 (not found in the Lover LP) / Note: Strictly speaking, this EP bears no direct relation to the album under discussion: Festival's Lover was released years before Decca's Lover -- and continents away. Still, I feel prompted to display and discuss both albums herein, due to the fair amount of common ground between them (same title, three shared songs).










  5. Back cover of the original LP.



General Note
Prepared for release long after Peggy Lee had departed from the Decca label, Lover is not an original album, but neither is it a thoughtlessly assembled compilation. Lending cohesiveness to this company project is conductor-arranger Gordon Jenkins' involvement on all chosen tracks. Furthermore, the sessions from which Decca chose those numbers had taken place within an one-year span: April 23, April 28/May 1, July 31, November 28, and December 16, 1952. It is also worth noting that almost none of the album's twelve numbers had appeared on 12" vinyl before 1964. (Most had come out on singles, a few on EP or on 10" LP.)

IX. THE FABULOUS PEGGY LEE






Album Covers Shown:

1. Format: LP / Label: DECCA / Cat. Num.: Dl 4461 [mono] / Dl 7 4461 [stereo enhanced] / Rel. Year: 1964 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Original edition of the album under dscussion.

2. Format: CD / Label: LPTime / Cat. Num.: (Spain) Lpt 1125 / Rel. Year: 2010 / Tracks: 20 (total). 12 (numbers from The Fabulous Peggy Lee) + 8 (bonus tracks) / Note: As repeatedly stated throughout this page, Lee's Decca LPs have been often reissued on CD in Japan by the label that officially owns the masters (MCA or Victor at first, Universal more recently). The particular reissue under scrutiny is an exception: though not one of those official reissues, this Public Domain item is noteworthy for its healthy dose of bonus tracks. Notice also that, though made in Spain, releases from the LPTime label are aimed mainly at the Japanese market. American commercial sites do not carry them. See also item #4 below.

3. Format: LP / Label: Decca's Ace Of Hearts / Cat. Num.: (England) Ah 107 / Rel. Year: 1966 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissue of #1, prepared by a branch of British Decca.





Album Cover Shown:

4 - 5. Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Uccu 9109 / Rel. Year: 2004 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissue of item #1. Cardboard, mini-LP sleeve edition. Part of the "Decca 70th Anniversary" Series. To my knowledge, this is the only official CD reissue of The Fabulous Peggy Lee. (There is also an unofficial CD reissue; see item #2 above.)






Album Cover Shown:

6. Format: LP / Label: Official / Cat. Num.: (Denmark) 12002 / Rel. Year: 1988 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissue of #1.


General Note
The Fabulous Peggy Lee was prepared and issued by Decca eight years after the expiration of Lee's contract with the label. The album collects mostly numbers that had been previously released on singles, but which had not yet made it to LP. The only exception is a number that had been originally released in the 10" LP Songs In An Intimate Style. There is also one number that had not been previously issued at all.

Scope And Completeness

Bear in mind that this page concentrates on the original American issues; it does not cover every single foreign version. Abroad, MCA's pressings of Decca albums generally featured the same artwork and the same tracks, but not necessarily the same catalogue number. In this page, I have selectively included a few foreign pressings with the same artwork, but my main interest has lied with artwork that differs from the original. For comprehensive listings of non-American pressings, consult this discography's British and Foreign pages.
