The Peggy Lee Bio-Discography's Picture Gallery:
Later Albums
by Iván Santiago-Mercado

Return To Table Of Contents

Scope And Contents

This page displays photos of the albums that Peggy Lee recorded during her later, post-Capitol years. The albums are presented chronologically by year of release, from Let's Love (1974) to Love Held Lightly (1993). In addition to the front covers of the original albums, those of later reissues are displayed as well, especially when their artwork differs from that of the originals. For further clarification about this page's scope, and for advice on how to locate particular albums, see final notes below.

I. LET'S LOVE





Album Covers Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Let's Love / Format: 8-track & LP / Label: ATLANTIC / Cat. Num.: 8t 18108 & Sd 18108 / Rel. Year: 1974 / Tracks: 11 / Note: Front and back covers of the LP.





Artwork Shown:

3 & 4. Title: Let's Love / Format: LP / Label: ATLANTIC / Cat. Num.: (Japan) P 8511 / Rel. Year: ca. 1974 / Tracks: 11 / Note: Japanese edition of the original LP (item #1). As most Japanese albums, it includes a full-size insert (seen in image #5), primarily dedicated to the transcription and translation of the albums' lyrics. The insert also features a photo of McCartney and Lee that is not part of the original, sold-in-stores American edition.





Artwork Shown:

5 & 6. Title: Amemos / Format: LP / Label: ATLANTIC Gamma / Cat. Num.: (México) Gx 01 750 / Rel. Year: 1976 / Tracks: 11 / Note: Spanish edition of the original LP (item #1). In the vinyl, the songtitles are printed in Spanish (e.g., "Siempre," "Simple maleficio," "Él es el único," et cetera).



Album Covers Shown:

7. Title: Let's Love / Format: CD / Label: Warner's Rhino Handmade / Cat. Num.: Rhm2 7853 / Rel. Year: 2003 / Tracks: 16 (total). 11 + 5 (bonus tracks, some previously unissued).

8. Title: Let's Love / Format: CD / Label: Collectors' Choice / Cat. Num.: 2077 / Rel. Year: 2009 / Tracks: 11





Artwork Shown:

9. Peggy Lee and Paul McCartney, photographed at the press conference in which they announced the release of the album, whose leading track (aka its first single) had been written and produced by McCartney.

10. Atlantic's promotional press kit for the album (not included in commercially sold copies).

II. MIRRORS




Album Cover Shown:

1-3. Title: Mirrors / Format: 8-track & LP & CS / Label: A&M / Cat. Num.: 8t 4547 & Sp 4547 & Ca 4547 / Rel. Year: 1975 / Tracks: 10 / Note: The first image displays the 8-track cartridge. The other two images show the LP. As shown in image #2, the front cover boasts a hologram-like head shot of Lee, framed in silver. I believe that the visible color difference between image #2 and image #3 is merely the result of overexposure and aging. (However, I could be wrong. The LP could have been reissued with a non-hologrammic gray cover. If such is the case, I have yet to find evidence.) This is actually a twofold album jacket, with another photo of Lee inside. (That inside photo was re-used as the front cover of the original album Peggy, displayed in this page's section III). Also included in the album jacket are transcriptions of the lyrics and personnel information. There are no liner notes, however.






Album Covers Shown:

4. Title: Mirrors / Format: CS & CD / Label: A&M / Cat. Num.: 75021 5268 4/2 / Rel. Year: 1989 / Tracks: 11 (total). 10 + 1 (the bonus track "Is That All There Is?") / Notes: Contains extensive liner notes by William Bolcom, extolling the praises of Leiber & Stoller and giving interesting details about the songs. However, he dedicates merely one single line (though a very laudatory one) to Lee. This issue also includes the transcribed lyrics and the discographical information originally found in items #2 and #3, but not the inner photo, nor the hologrammic feature. (The cover is white, as shown.)

5. Title: Mirrors / Format: CD / Label: A&M©Universal / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Uciy 3333 / Rel. Year: 2001 / Tracks: 11 (total). 10 + 1 (the bonus track "Is That All There Is?") / Note: Gray, non-hologrammic reissue, as shown. This CD edition is not recommended. Listeners who own copies have complained about "heavy digital ambience" and audible "tape edits." Furthermore, one of the songs, "The Case of M. J.," appears in an unauspiciously edited version.





Album Cover Shown:

6. Title: Peggy Lee Sings Leiber & Stoller / Format: CD / Label: Universal's Hip-O Select/ / Cat. Num.: B 0004169 02 / Rel. Year: 2005 / Tracks: 15 (total). 10 + 5 (bonus tracks, two of them previously unissued) / Note: Though every single track from Mirrors is included, this excellent edition was conceived not as a reissue of that original album but rather as a representation of Peggy Lee's approach to the Leiber & Stoller songbook. In addiiton to color photos, the attractively designed booklet features Peter Stoller's detailed annotation, which cover three main topics (the songwriters' craft, the singer's craft and, most notably, the histories behind the songs).






Artwork Shown:

7. A publicity photo included in the kit that was sent out to the press, as part of the promotion of the album Mirrors. Packaged inside a custom-printed A4 size envelope, the kit consisted of five photos and seven pages of print, which covered Lee's biography and furnished details about her songwriting and about the album itself.

8. The other four publicity photos from the press kit described in entry #5.

III. PEGGY




Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: Peggy / Format: CS & LP / Label: POLYDOR / Cat. Num.: (England) 3170 458 & Super 2383 458 / Rel. Year: 1977 / Tracks: 12 / Note: This one of only two Peggy Lee original albums yet to be issued on CD. Seven of the tracks have appeared in CD anthologies, however. Also, rehearsal versions of some of the other five masters have turned up on a couple of CDs -- though unidentified as such; see #4 and #5 below.






Album Covers Shown:

2. Title: You Give Me Fever / Format: CD & CS / Label: Spectrum-Karussell / Cat. Num.: (England) 550 088 4/2 / Rel. Year: 1993 / Tracks: 14 (total). 7 (from the album Peggy) + 7 (from another original album, Live In London).

3. Title: Fever / Format: CD / Label: Spectrum-Karussell / Cat. Num.: (England) 550 088 4/2 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 14 (total). 7 (from the album Peggy) + 7 (from another original album, Live In London) / Note: reissue (re-pressing) of #2 above.






Album Covers Shown:

4. Title: At Her Best / Format: CD / Label: Castle's Pulse / Cat. Num.: (England) PdsCd 543 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Volumes: 2 / Tracks: 40 (total). 6 (rehearsals for the album Peggy) + 16 (from the soundtrack of 1966 and 1967 TV shows) + 17 (from the March 20, 1977 date that was first released in the Pulse CD Fever! Live At The London Palladium, detailed in section V below) + 1 (previously unissued track from the same March 20, 1977 live date) / Note: This CD does not clarify that some of its performances are rehearsals (or that others come from TV soundtracks), but I have received confirmation that they are. It's worth remarking that the six rehearsal tracks for the Peggy album sessions sound very similar to the performances actually released in the album; moreover, they lack any spoken comment or any other particular details which could help clarify their nature. See also note to #5 below.

5. Title: The New Collection / Format: CS & CD / Label: Kenneth Barnes Productions {owner of the tracks} & Carlton [licensee] / Cat. Num.: (England) 30360 01222 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Tracks: 21 (total). 3 (rehearsals for the album Peggy) + 1 (from the March 20, 1977 Live In London concert) + 17 (from the soundtrack of 1966, 1967, and 1981 TV shows) / Note: This CD does not clarify that its performances are mostly rehearsals and TV soundtrack performamces, but I have received reliable confirmation that they are. The three rehearsal tracks from the Peggy album sessions sound very similar to the performances actually released in the album; nevertheless, one of them has a line that is clearly different from the reading in the released album.





Items Shown:

6. Single, taken from the album Peggy. It consisted of "Lover" and "I'm Not In Love." (Both musically and lyrically, this version of the Rodgers & Hart standard is substantially different from Lee's own 1952 Decca hit single.)

7. Title: Voices Of Jazz; A Collection Of Timeless Jazz Classics / Format: CD / Label: Marks & Spencer / Cat. Num.: (England) Cmd 007 / Release Year: 2007 / Note: To my knowledge, this and the next item are the only various-artists compilations to ever include a number from the album Peggy. In Voices Of Jazz, the number is "What I Did for Love."

8. Title: Prima Donna ("The Definitive Collection; 16 Indimenticabili Interpretazioni Al Feminile") / Format: CD / Label: Verve Polygram / Cat. Num.: (Italy) 553 984 2 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Note: Contains Peggy Lee's interpretation of "I'm Not In Love," from her 1977 Polydor album Peggy.

IV. LIVE IN LONDON
[MARCH 13, 1977]




Album Cover Shown, And Related Artwork:

1. Title: Live In London / Format: CS & LP / Label: POLYDOR / Cat. Num.: (England) 3170 448 & Super 2383 448 / Rel. Year: 1977 / Tracks: 16 / Note: One of only two Peggy Lee original albums yet to be issued on CD. Seven of the tracks have at least appeared in CD anthologies, but the other nine tracks have yet to turn up in the digital domain.

2. The Getty firm owns additional shots from the Live In London photo session. One of those shoots can be seen here.






Album Covers Shown:

3. Title: You Give Me Fever / Format: CS & CD / Label: Spectrum - Karussell / Cat. Num.: (England) 550 088 4/2 / Rel. Year: 1993 / Tracks: 14 (total). 7 (from the album Live In London) + 7 (from another original album, Peggy).

4. Title: Fever / Format: CD / Label: Spectrum - Karussell / Cat. Num.: (England) 550 088 4/2 / Rel. Year: 1998 / Tracks: 14 (total). 7 (from the album Live In London) + 7 (from another original album, Peggy) / Note: reissue (re-pressing) of #2 above.





Album Covers Shown:

5. Back cover of the LP (item #1).

6. Title: Peggy Lee ("The Silver Collection" Spectrum Series) / Format: CD / Label: Universal / Cat. Num.: (England) 02498 49051 / Rel. Year: 2007 / Tracks: 10 (total). 4 (from the original album Live In London) + 5 (from the Decca original album Black Coffee) + 1 (from the Polydor original album Peggy).

Other Versions, Not Shown Above:

7. Title: Live In London / Format: LP / Label: Mercury / Cat. Num.: Srm 1 1172 / Rel. Year: 1977 / Tracks: 10 / Note: Abridged version of #1 above.


General Note
The main album under discussion (Polydor's Live In London) contains selections from the first of Lee's two 1977 evenings at the London Palladium. A second evenin was also taped. For releases that feature tracks from the second evening's concert, see next entry.

V. LIVE IN LONDON
[MARCH 20, 1977]

General Note
The releases listed under this section contain the second of Lee's two 1977 evenings at the London Palladium. For releases that draw from the first evening (March 13), see preceding section.





Album Covers Shown:

1. Title: Fever! The Best Of Peggy Lee / Format: CS & CD Label: Castle - Pulse - Kaz / Cat. Num.: (England) Pls Mc 144 & Pls Cd 144 / Rel. Year: 1996 / Tracks: 17 / Note: The contents of this CD come from a concert that took place on March 20, 1977. A couple of tracks were excluded from this 1996 CD because during pre-production it was discovered that they had not been well preserved. Careful cleaning and remastering alllowed those tracks' eventual release in #3 and #4 below.

2. Title: Fever! Live At The London Palladium / Format: CD / Label: Castle's Pulse-Kaz / Cat. Num.: (England) Pls Mc/Cd 144 / Rel. Year: 1996 / Tracks: 17 / Note: This is a reissue of #1 above, with different arwork. Incidentally, information culled from online vendors point to another reissue of Fever! Live At The London Palladium, released by St. Clair Records in 2000. However, I have not found enough corroboration about this possibility. It could be that St. Clair was merely the distributor of either of the Pulse editions (i.e., #1 or #2).

3. Title: Mack The Knife; The Best Of Peggy Lee / Format: CS & CD / Label: Castle's [?] TrueTrax / Cat. Num.: (England) Trt Mc 209 & Trt Cd 209 / Rel. Year: 1996 / Tracks: 17 / Note: This is the third edition of the same 1977 concert that is listed as released within the same year (1996).





Album Covers Shown:

4. Title: The New Collection / Format: CS & CD / Label: Kenneth Barnes Productions {owner of the tracks} & Carlton [licensee] / Cat. Num.: (England) 30360 01222 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Tracks: 21 (total). 1 (a previously unissued track from the March 20, 1977 concert under discussion; this track is not the same one mentioned in #4 below) + 3 (rehearsals for the album Peggy) + 17 (from the soundtrack of 1966, 1967, and 1981 TV shows). / Note: This release does not contain the concert under discussion, but instead assembles tracks from various sources. It is featured in this section because, as itemized in the preceding details about tracks, it features one previously unissued concert track.

5. Title: At Her Best / Format: CD / Label: Castle's Pulse / Cat. Num.: (England) PdsCd 543 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Volumes: 2 / Tracks: 40 (total). 17 (from #1 above) + 1 (a previously unissued track from the March 20, 1977 concert under discussion; this track is not the same track included in #3 above) + 6 (rehearsals for the Polydor album Peggy) + 16 (from the soundtrack of 1966 and 1967 TV shows) / Note: The second disc of this 2CD set is a reprint of item #1 above.





Album Covers Shown:

6-7. Title: Four Great Gals {Doris Day, Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald} / Format: CD / Label: Castle's Pulse / Cat. Num.: (England) Pbx 457 / Rel. Year: 2001 / Volumes: 4 / Tracks: 17 / Note: Contained in one of this set's 4 discs is yet another release of the March 20, 1977 concert. Each of the set's CDs is dedicated to one of the 4 singers shown in the box's image (#5). The Lee CD exclusively consists of concert tracks. Image #6 is a collage of various Peggy Lee CDs, all of them unrelated to the topic at hand, except for the third one in the top row, which is actually the Lee CD from the Four Great Gals set.

VI. CLOSE ENOUGH FOR LOVE





Album Covers Shown:

1. Title: Close Enough For Love / Format: LP / Label: DRG / Cat. Num.: Sl 5190 / Rel. Year: 1979 / Tracks: 10

2. Title: Close Enough For Love [DBX Edition] / Format: LP / Label: DRG / Cat. Num.: Dbx Slc 5190 / Rel. Year: unknown / Tracks: 10 / Note: The LP Close Enough For Love was first released in its "regular" LP version (#1) and, years later (perhaps in 1988?), in this dbx special edition. (A noise reduction system used for professional recording, dbx requires special audio equipment to be appreciated.) Visually, the two versions seem identical, their only noticeable difference being the inclusion of the prefix dbx in the special edition.






Album Covers Shown:

3. Title: Close Enough For Love / Format: CS & CD / Label: DRG / Cat. Num.: Slc 5190 & Cdsl 5190 / Rel. Year: 1988 / Tracks: 10

4. Title: Close Enough For Love / Format: CD / Label: DRG / Cat. Num.: 91471 / Rel. Year: 2002 / Tracks: 10 / Note: Expertly mastered. Far better-sounding than the earlier CD, LP, and cassette versions.






Album Covers Shown:

5. Title: Close Enough For Love ("Success" Series) / Format: CD / Label: Pickwick's Elap / Cat. Num.: (England) 16130 / Rel. Year: 1992 / Tracks: 10 / Note: One of various European reissues of #3.

6. Title: Close Enough For Love ("Freestyle" Series) / Format: CD / Label: Tring International / Cat. Num.: (England) Jhd 067 / Rel. Year: 1993 / Tracks: 10 / Note: One of various European reissues of #3.






Album Cover Shown:

7. Title: Close Enough For Love ("Le Chante du Monde "/"Radio Nights" Series) / Format: CD / Label: Harmonia Mundi / Cat. Num.: (France) Ldj 274 953 Cm 211 / Rel. Year: 1992 / Tracks: 10 / Note: One of various European reissues of #3.






Album Covers Shown:

8. Back cover of the original LP.

9. Back cover of the 2002 CD.











  Artwork Shown:

  10. Hans Albers' photo, used as the original album's cover.




General Note
When originally released, Close Enough For Love consisted of not only the LP and its record jacket but also a regular (8.5" by 11") white piece of paper, inserted in the record jacket along with the LP. The piece of paper was an advertisement for The Life Story Of Peggy Lee, a 20-page pamphlet described in the ad as "an ideal companion to the LP." The actual pamphlet is entitled Miss Peggy Lee (not The Life Story Of Peggy Lee, as the ad incorrectly suggested). In reality, it was Lee's 1979 souvenir tour book. Since the booklet's front picture happens to be the same one that was used as the cover of the Close Enough For Love album, DRG honcho Hugh Fordin deemed it good idea to make the booklet part of the album's marketing campaign. (And, for fans and collectors, it certainly proved a felicitous idea.) The contents of this 12" by 9" souvenir book are as follows: color photos of the singer (displayed in the front and back covers); three pages of biographical material, divided into "The Professional Side," "The Creative Side," and "The Personal Side"; a couple of poems by the singer-songwriter; a list of her original American LPs up to 1975; some acknowledgments; many small b&w photos, most of them featuring Lee with other celebrities (Jimmy Dorsey, Alice Faye, Jackie Gleason, Woody Herman, Liberace, Robert Preston, Ronald Reagan, etc., etc.).

VII. MISS PEGGY LEE SINGS THE BLUES





Album Covers Shown:

1 & 2. Title: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues / Format: CD & CS & LP / Label: MUSICMASTERS - Amreco / Cat. Num.: Cijd 60155f & Cijd 40155h & Cijd 20155k [1st pressing]; 5005 2c & 5005 4c & 5005[2nd pressing] / Rel. Year: 1988 [1st pressing]; 1992 or 1993 [2nd pressing] / Tracks: 12 / Note: This album seems to have gone through a fair amount of pressings and reissues. Shown above are CD 5005 2c, cassette 5005 4c and, from a different pressing, LP Cijd 20155k.

3. Title: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues / Format: CD & LP / Label: Jazz Heritage Society - Amerco / Cat. Num.: 5124878 [LP's number unknown] / Rel. Year: 2002 / Tracks: 12 / Note: The sound quality of this 2002 issue is a substantial improvement over all previous editions. Visually, this issue can be differentiated from previous ones by looking at the copyright year (2002), or by looking at the words "K2 Laser Cutting Jazz Heritage Society" in the right bottom corner of the front cover. Also, the 2002 front cover is the only one that has a double frame; in all other editions, Lee's photo is surrounded by just one frame. As for the image that I have provided here (the only one that I was able to find) please notice that it actually misrepresents the right coloring of this issue: it is not blue but a very dark violet -- thus closer to the look of the LP shown in #3 above. (However, there is always the possibility that, unknown to me, Jazz Heritage issued more than one printing of this CD, each with a different color.)






Album Covers Shown:

4 & 5. Title: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues / Format: CS & CD / Label: Musical Heritage Society - Amreco / Cat. Num.: Mhc 312487x & Mhs 512487m / Rel. Year: 1990 / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissues. Black & white covers, as shown.

6. Title: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues ("Classics In Jazz" Series) / Format: CD / Label: Limelight - Decca - Polygram / Cat. Num.: (England; manufactured in Germany) 820 809 2 / Rel. Year: 1989 / Tracks: 12 / Note: European pressing of item #1. black & white cover with color lettering, as shown.

Other Album Versions, Not Shown Above:

7. Title: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues / Format: CD / Label: Phonogram / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Phce 5015 / Rel. Year: unknown / Tracks: 12 / Note: Reissue of #1.


General Note
This album actually has two valid titles: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues and the more succinct Peggy Sings The Blues. The reason why those two titles are valid is that both can be simultaneously found in most editions and configurations of the album. To be more specific, the short title Peggy Sings The Blues appears in the front covers of most issues, but the variant Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues is printed inside, in the actual disc and tape. (As for the spine of the cassette, it uses the Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues variant.)

VIII. THERE'LL BE ANOTHER SPRING; THE PEGGY LEE SONGBOOK








Album Covers Shown:

1, 2 & 5. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: LP & CD & CS / Label: MusicMasters - Amreco [manufactured by Columbia CBS] / Cat. Num.: Cijd 20249 & Cijd 60249k & Cijd 40249l [1st pressing]; 60340k & 503424 2c & 503422 4c [2nd pressing] / Rel. Year: 1990 [1st pressing]; date unknown [2d pressing] / Tracks: 13 / Note: This album was originally sent to commercial stores only on LP and cassette. Originally, the CD was available only to members of the Columbia House mail-only program. Later on, it was finally sent out to physical music stores. Of the six pictures shown above, the first one shows the CD; the cover bears the legend "MusicMasters full digital recording" in the lower left bottom. The LP exists in two versions, one with a front cover identical to the CD's (#1). An image of the other version is displayed in #2 above. (I am not well acquainted with this "limited edition" cover. It may be that such limited edition version also came out on CD and even cassette.) The cassette is obviously seen in the fifth cover.

3. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / Label: Limelight - Polygram / Cat. Num.: (England) 820 821 2 / Rel. Year: 1990 / Tracks: 13 / Note: European edition of the album under discussion.

4. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / Label: Jazz Heritage Society - Amerco / Cat. Num.: 515674h / Rel. Year: 1999 / Tracks: 13 / Note: Domestic reissue of the album under discussion.

6. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / / Label: MusicMasters - Amreco / Note: This edition consisted of a longbox which housed the CD. Only the longbox is shown in the picture. I do not know any further details about it.






Album Cover Shown:

7. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CS & LP & CD / Label: Musical Heritage Society - Amreco / Cat. Num.: Mhc 40249l [CS] & 20249 [LP] & 912697z [LP] & 60249k [CD] / Rel. Year: 1990 / Tracks: 13 / Note: Another domestic reissue of the album under discussion. Black & white cover, as shown.









  Item Shown:

  8. This flower, known as The Peggy Lee Rose, was the inspiration for the drawing that graces the cover of the album There'll Be   Another Spring. The flower was created in   1982. Upon its introduction in the United States, it was named The Peggy Lee Rose, in   honor of the singer (1983).



Other Album Versions, Not Shown Above:

9. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / Label: Venus / Cat. Num.: (Japan) Tkcz 36031 / Rel. Year: 1997 / Tracks: 13

10. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / Label: Disc Kiosk / Cat. Num.: (Japan?) unknown / Rel. Year: 2006 / Tracks: 13

11. Title: There'll Be Another Spring; The Peggy Lee Songbook / Format: CD / Label: Phonogram / Cat. Num.: (Europe?) Phce 5030 / Rel. Year: unknown / Tracks: 13


General Note
The original MusicMasters album includes a transcript of the album's lyrics, and so d most if not all of the reissues. In the original LP editions, the transcript and other details appear in a white one-page insert, the same size as the album, placed inside the album's jacket. The Musical Heritage Society LP does not include the insert, but it does feature the entire transcript in its back cover.

IX. EVERYBODY NEEDS A SANTA CLAUS / WE BE FRIENDS




Album Cover Shown:

1. 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: These two tracks are not available in any other issue (not on CD, not on LP, not on any format other than cassingle).








  Artwork Shown:

  2. Dom DeLuise, who duets with Peggy Lee in the song "Everybody Needs A Santa Claus," dressed as Santa Claus at the White House in 1987, (with then-First Lady Nancy Reagan). About three years later, Lee had plans to perform a TV special in which DeLuise would have again fulfilled Kriss Kringle duties, and in which the two of them would have reprised this duet. The special did not come to fruition.

X. MOMENTS LIKE THIS





Album Cover Shown:

1. Title: Moments Like This / Format: CD / Label: CHESKY / Cat. Num.: Jd 84 / Rel. Date: December 1992 / Tracks: 15

XI. LOVE HELD LIGHTLY

1. Title: Love Held Lightly / Format: CS & CD / Label: CAPITOL's Angel / Cat. Num.: 4 Ds 0777 7 54798 & CDs 0777 7 54798 / Rel. Date: February 1993 / Tracks: 14

2. Title: Love Held Lightly /Format: CD / Label: HARBINGER / Cat. Num.: Hcd 632433 2401 2 0 / Rel. Year: 2006 / Tracks: 14










  Artwork Shown:

  3. Harold Arlen with co-stars Peggy Lee and Vic Damone, in a publicity shot for Happy With The Blues, the 1961 TV show for which Lee and Arlen wrote the song "Happy With The Blues." Thirty-two years later, the song was included in the album Love Held Lightly, in a revised version.



General Note
This album's masters were actually recorded in 1988, but the album was not issued until 1993, when Peggy Lee finally authorized its release.

Scope And Completeness

Bear in mind that this page concentrates on the original American (or British) issues; it does not cover every single foreign edition of the originals. Abroad, most of these albums featured the same artwork and the same tracks, albeit not necessarily the same catalogue number nor the same label. Hence my general interest in that area has remained with covers that differ from the originals. (I have selectively included just a few foreign editions which use the same artwork as the domestic ones, and which I deemed of potential interest for one reason or another.) For comprehensive listings of non-American pressings, consult this discography's British and Foreign pages.
