The Peggy Lee Bio-Discography's Picture Gallery:
Original EPs, Cassingles, And CD Singles
by Iván Santiago-Mercado

Return To Table Of Contents

Scope And Contents

This page displays photos of Peggy Lee's EPs in chronological order. Unless otherwise indicated, all listed EPs are presumed to contain a total of 4 tracks. Also included herein are the few cassingles and CD singles in Peggy Lee's discography. For advice on how to locate the image of a particular EP, cassingle or CD single, read the note at the bottom of this page, which includes an index.

Do bear in mind that not every Peggy Lee EP has been included below. This page is dedicated mostly to EPs which are original or "stand-alone" issues, as opposed to EPs which are mini-versions of LPs. If you are looking for items of the latter type, check instead the Capitol and Decca album photo pages. Furthermore, there are various items for which I have not yet been able to locate an image; a list of them can be found at the bottom of the page.

I. THE JAZZ SINGER, SELECTIONS FEATURED IN THE WARNER BROS. MOTION PICTURE







Title: Selections Featured In The Warner Bros. Motion Picture The Jazz Singer
Label: Decca
Cat. Num.: Ed 2003
Rel. Year: 1953
Note: This EP contains Decca treatments of the songs that Peggy Lee performed in the movie The Jazz Singer. In other words, these are not the movie soundtrack numbers, but versions of them which Lee waxed for the record company to which she was signed at the time of the film's release.

Title: Songs From The Jazz Singer
Format: CD
Label: Sepia
Cat. Num.: (England) 1055
Rel. Year: 2005
Tracks: 28 (total). 4 (from Lee's Decca EP) + 10 (bonus tracks by Peggy Lee) + 8 (Danny Thomas tracks from the RCA Victor album Songs From The Jazz Singer) + 6 (bonus tracks by Danny Thomas).
Note: This above-average Public Domain CD can be deemed an expanded reissue of the above-described EP. A very expanded reissue. The CD collects all the songs from the movie The Jazz Singer that co-stars Danny Thomas and Peggy Lee recorded on their respective labels. (Included as well are quite a few bonus tracks, all sung by either Lee or Thomas but none related to the movie.)

II & III. (PRESENTING) PEGGY LEE






Title: Presenting Peggy Lee
Label: Brunswick
Cat. Num.: (England) 0e 9282
Rel. Year: 1956 or 1957
Note: Notice the differences between this EP and the next one shown. Among them are the releasing branches (Brunswick versus Decca), the catalogue numbers, and the tracks included.

Title: Presenting Peggy Lee
Label: Decca
Cat. Num.: (Denmark/Sweden) Bme 9344
Rel. Year: 1956 or 1957
Note: Same title and artwork as the first EP, but entirely different tracks and catalogue number. Both EP editions indicate in their respective labels that they were pressed in England, but this one seems to have been prepared for release in Scandinavia, not in Great Britain. Moreover (and to further complicate matters), this EP appears to have been reissued. Seen in the third picture herein, the reissue contains the same tracks and has identical catalogue number but shortens the original title and uses entirely different artwork.

Title: Peggy Lee
Label: Decca
Cat. Num.: (Denmark/Sweden) Bme 9344
Rel. Year: unknown, presumed to be a reissue of the EP shown above.
Note: My acquaintance with ths EP edition does not go further than this picture of the cover (found on the web), which fortunately includes the track titles. The catalogue number is, unfortunately, a bit blurry; I do believe that it is the exact same number as the second EP in this entry, but it could be that the first number is a 0 instead of a 9, and the second a 5 instead of a 3.

IV. MISS PEGGY LEE






Title: Miss Peggy Lee
Label: Brunswick
Cat. Num.: (France/Germany) 10 120 Epb
Rel. Year: 1957
Note: All 4 songs come from Lee's Decca LP Black Coffee. Although the present page generally concentrates on original, stand-alone Peggy Lee EPs (thereby excluding EPs that are mini-versions of her LPs), I've made exceptions when the EP's title and artwork are so different from the LP that the connection between the two might not be readily apparent. (In all such cases, the artwork will be found both herein and in the pertinent LP entry.)

V. PEGGY LEE (aka THAT'S ALL)






Title: That's All
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (France) 4 864
Rel. Year: 1957
Note: All four songs come From Lee's Capitol LP The Man I Love. Although the present page generally concentrates on original, stand-alone Peggy Lee EPs (thereby excluding EPs that are mini-versions of her LPs), I've made exceptions when the EP's title and artwork are so different from the LP that the connection between the two might not be readily apparent. (In all such cases, the artwork will be found both herein and in the pertinent LP entry.)

VI. "LOVER" (A FESTIVAL LITTLE ALBUM)






Title: "Lover" (A Festival Little Album)
Label: Festival
Cat. Num.: (New Zealand) Fx 10 5003
Rel. Year: 1958
Note: Although three of the 4 songs were also included in Decca's 1964 LP Lover, notice that this EP was released six years earlier than that LP.

VII. FEVER





1. Title: Fever
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: Eap 1 1052
Rel. Year: 1958




2-4. Hispanic (Argentinian) versions of #1 above, all of them bearing the same catalogue number.

Related Note
In 1959, Capitol released another Peggy Lee EP entitled Fever (Sep 1 1232). That EP (seen in section IX below) and this one are entirely different. The one track that they share, "Fever," is a mono mix in this 1958 EP, a stereo mix in the 1959 EP.

VIII. PEGGY LEE (aka ALRIGHT, OKAY, YOU WIN)






Title: Peggy Lee [aka Alright, Okay, You Win]
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: Eap 1 1213
Rel. Year: 1959
Note: The next two EPs below seem to be European variations of this American EP. The covers, the titles, and two of the songs are different, but the other two songs are the same ones: "My Man" and "Alright, Okay, You Win."

IX. PEGGY LEE (aka FEVER)





Title: Fever
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: Sep 1 1232
Rel. Year: 1959
Tracks: 4
Note: In 1958, Capitol had released another Peggy Lee EP entitled Fever (Eap 1052). That EP (shown in section VII above) and this one are entirely different. The one track that they share, "Fever," is a mono mix in the 1958 EP, a stereo mix in this 1959 EP.

X. SWEETHEART






Title: Sweetheart
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (France) Feap 106
Rel. Year: 1959






2. As made evident by this image, twin covers are sported by the original EPs displayed in this entry and in the previous one. Same photo, different background color.

XI. O.K. PEGGY LEE






Title: O.k. Peggy Lee
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (Germany) Eap 1 45 010
Rel. Year: 1959

XII. MISS WONDERFUL (A FESTIVAL LITTLE ALBUM(






Title: Miss Wonderful (A Festival Little Album)
Label: Festival
Cat. Num.: (New Zealand) Fx 10 5097 {Reissued as Fx 10 038}
Rel. Year: 1959

XIII. PEGGY LEE
(COMPACT DOUBLE 33)






Title: Peggy Lee ("Compact Double 33" series)
Format: jukebox EP
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: Ma1 1591 [33.3 speed]
Rel. Year: 1961

XIV. PEGGY LEE FAVOURITES






Title: Peggy Lee Favourites
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (England) Eap 1 20074
Rel. Year: The release year that my original sources give for this EP is 1964. However, its catalogue number suggests an earlier date. Furthermore, a conceptual similarity between this British EP and the mid-1962 American LP Bewitching-Lee! has long led me to wonder if the former could also date from the same year. Both issues are 1960s compilations of material that dates back to the 1940s, one dedicated to hits and the other to so-called favourites. (Notice also the conceptual similarities between this EP and the one in the previous entry.) More recently, I came upon a vendor's listing in which the EP's date was given as 1961. After checking other listings by this vendor, and after corroborating that they were correctly dated, I feel that his dating for the EP could actually be correct.

XV. BLACK COFFEE
("JAZZ CONCISE" SERIES)






Title: Black Coffee ("Jazz Concise" Series)
Label: Decca - Techiku
Cat. Num.: (Japan) Sdw 10121
Rel. Year: Unknown. In the USA, the type of Decca logo seen in this cover was used from around 1962 to at least 1967. In the absence of any actual specifics about the release date, I am tentatively assuming it to fall within the 1960s.
Note: All tracks in this EP were originally issued in the Decca LP Black Coffee. Generally, my policy has been to exclude from this page EPs that are mini-versions of LPs , displaying them instead in the pages dedicated to LPs. However, I have made a few exceptions in cases such as this one, where a connection between the two might not be readily apparent. (Another source of exceptions: when EPs have title and/or artwork so different from the LP that, once again, the connection might not be readily apparent.) In all such cases, the EPs in question are displayed in both this page and the page (or, more specifically, the entry) for the LP to which the EP is connected.

XVI. I'M A WOMAN
[FRENCH ISSUE]






Title: I'm A Woman
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (France) Eap 1 20444
Rel. Year: 1963
Note: Except for the titular track, all songs come from the LP Sugar 'N' Spice.

XVII. I'M A WOMAN
[AUSTRALIAN ISSUE]






Title: I'm A Woman (aka Fever)
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (Australia) Eap 1 20512

Note: Two of the four tracks come from the LP I'm A Woman.

XVIII. PEGGY LEE (aka SNEAKIN' UP ON YOU)






Title: Peggy Lee (aka Sneakin' Up On You)
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (France) Eap 1 20741
Rel. Year: 1965
Note: This EP culls songs from Lee's two 1965 original LPs, Pass Me By and Then Was Then And Now Is Now!.

XIX. SO WHAT'S NEW






Title: So What's New
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (France) Eap 1 20887
Rel. Year: 1966

XX. PEGGY LEE
(JAPANESE GOLDEN COMPACT)






Title: Peggy Lee ("Golden Compact" Series)
Format: EP
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: (Japan) Cp 4513
Rel. Year: Unknown. The inclusion of the 1966 master "Strangers In The Night" makes it clear that the date can't be earlier than 1966.

XXI. Пегги Ли
[PEGGY SINGS]






Title: Пегги Ли
Label: Melodiya
Cat. Num.: (Russia) G 0003115/0003116

Note: A blue flexiglass vinyl. My thanks to Peter Stoller for his kind assistance in the task of translating the issue's original title and track listing.

XXII. PEGGY LEE
("2 + 2" SERIES)






Title: Peggy Lee ("2 + 2" Series, Volume 31)
Label: EMI Electrola
Cat. Num.: (The Netherlands) 1C 016-85 124

XXIII. EVERYBODY NEEDS A SANTA CLAUS / WE BE FRIENDS





Title: Everybody Needs A Santa Claus / We Be Friends
Format: cassingle
Label: MusicMasters - Amreco
Cat. Num.: 5500 4 Cs
Rel. Year: 1990
Tracks: 2
Note: This is essentially an original single: its two songs are not available in any other issue -- not on CD, not on LP, not on MP3. It is thus an important release for collectors of Peggy Lee's music.

XXIV. FEVER, THE ORIGINAL HIT SINGLE






Title: Fever, The Original Hit Single By Peggy Lee
Format: CS/CD single
Label: EMI
Cat. Num.: (England) Cd Peg 1 / 7243 8 80202 2 0

XXV. CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT






Title: Can't Think Straight
Artist: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Format: CD single
Label: Park
Cat. Num.: (England) Parkcd 15

Format: CD single
Label: CAPITOL
Cat. Num.: 70876 17990 2 6
Rel. Year: 2003
Tracks: 3
Note: Peggy Lee had no direct involvement in the making of this remix. It was made, however, with Capitol's consent, and can be found in Capitol's vaults. (The record company usually keeps tapes or computerized files of such remixes, as part of its roster's tape archive.) For other issues containing remixes and mash-ups drawn from Lee's catalogue, see also this discography's Various-Artists Compilations page, under titles such as "Fever," "Sittin' on The Dock Of The Bay," "I Must Know," and "Why Don't You Do Right?".

Cross-references: Further Information

For more detailed information (e.g., track listing) about any particular EP, you may use the album's release year to locate it in this discography's chronological LP Index (or, if it is a CD single, in the CD Index).

This page concentrates on EPs whose covers are different from those of the original LPs. In the case of EPs whose covers and titles are identical to an LP counterpart, look for them in the pertinent Capitol or Decca album photo pages.

I would also appreciate reading comments regarding any other original Peggy Lee EPs which might seem to be misssing from this page.
