Comments About This Issue
New American Jazz (Set A-3) was only the third album ever released by Capitol Records. The two previous album releases had been Songs By Johnny Mercer (A-1, featuring Mercer with The Pied Pipers as well as Jo Stafford) and Christmas Carols, (A-2, by the St. Luke's Choristers.) Belonging to the 78-rpm era, all three albums consisted of shellac discs at that speed.
By all indications, New American Jazz was a popular album. Critically, it was unanimously well received. I believe that it also sold well, although I have no factual confirmation on the matter. (Because I have come across album copies with the words "second printing November 1944," I am under the impression that Capitol ran out of its first 'printing' within the first year of release. The original issue appears to have come out in July, and might have actually predated the release of Capitol A-2.)
The four 78-rpm discs found in New American Jazz are:
10009: "Clambake In B-Flat" (instrumental) / "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry" (vocal by Jack Teagarden)
10010: "Casanova's Lament" (vocal by Jack Teagarden) / "In My Solitude" (instrumental)
10111: "Sugar" (instrumental) / "Ain't Goin' No Place" ("blues vocal" by Peggy Lee)
10112 "Someday, Sweetheart" (instrumental) / "That Old Feeling" (vocal by Peggy Lee)
All eight sides are credited to The Capitol Jazzmen. The songs on discs #10009 and #10010 come from a November 16, 1943 date in which Peggy Lee did not participate. (Her husband, guitarist Dave Barbour, did. Jack Teagarden fulfilled the vocal role in that date.) The songs on discs #1011 and #10112 come from the January 7, 1944 session in which Lee was the featured vocalist.
General Comments About This Index
All albums are listed chronologically by year of release. Issues for which I have no release date are relegated to the bottom of the page. Readers who do not know an album's release year but who do know the album's title will hopefully be aware of the existence of a handy "Find/Search" engine on the homepage (near the top). Additional, generally effective search engines include Google, Bing, and those which come with the browser that you are using (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari, et cetera).
Primarily, I have indexed three types of albums: LPs, EPs, and 78-rpm albums. CDs have been indexed in a separate page, and the same is true of singles (45-rpm discs, 78-rpm discs, et cetera). As for secondary configurations such as 8-track cartridges and reel-to-reel tapes, I have made no active attempt at including all of them on this page, but selected titles will be found herein, too. (Though not on this index page, items on such configurations are listed on the session pages. The same is true of AFRS transcription discs, including those belonging to that service's Basic Music Library. Eventually, I will get around to creating an index page exclusively for the latter.)
Non-American albums have been excluded when they have a USA counterpart. (By "counterpart," I mean an album that contains the exact same tracks and the same basic artwork as the American original.) I have prepared separate pages for such counterparts; consult this discography's Miscellanea section, here and here. Similarly, compilations featuring various artists are not part of this index, save for the few that include previously unissued Peggy Lee numbers, and a few more that came out at an early date and strike me as worthy of attention. (Various-artists compilations actually have their own page, too, here.) Finally, please bear in mind that this index remains under construction and proofreading. Corrections are certainly appreciated.

NOTES:
The songs and artists featured in Jerome Kern's Music are:
Side 1
The Way You Look Tonight - Paul Weston And His Orchestra
A Fine Romance - Johnny Mercer and Martha Tilton
Look For The Silver Lining - Margaret Whiting

Side 2
She Didn't Say Yes - Peggy Lee

All The Things You Are - Clark Dennis
In its original (1947) configuration, Jerome Kern's Music was a 78-rpm album that contained four discs. The 78-rpm discs in the album were numbered 10072, 10073, 10074, and 10075. "She Didn't Say Yes" is on one side of #10075, whose flip side features an instrumental version of "The Way You Look Tonight." Capitol also issued it as the above-seen 45-rpm set and as a 10" LP (1950). In this 45-rpm album version, "She Didn't Say Yes" is in one side of #15501, whose other side contains "A Fine Romance," as sung by Johnny Mercer and Martha Tilton, in a duet version.
Jerome Kern's Music has not been released on CD. Granted that it is too brief to be issued just by itself in one digital disc, such an objection could be bypassed if the album were to be combined with another one. An ideal companion for Jerome Kern's Music would be Somebody Loves Me: The Beloved Songs Of Buddy De Sylva, which is also awaiting CD issue, and which was also originally released in 1947, about three months after this Kern songbook. Such an album pairing would be not only a logical combination but also an appropriate sequel to an item released some years ago: in 2008, DRG Records issued a CD that combined two other early Capitol albums, Kiss Me, Kate and South Pacific, each consisting of numbers interpreted by members of the label's roster. DRG would thus be an ideal candidate to issue the Kern and De Sylva albums, too.

NOTES:
The songs and acts featured in this album are:
If I Had A Talking Picture Of You - Johnny Mercer and Martha Tilton
Just A Memory - Andy Russell
You're The Cream In My Coffee - The Nat King Cole Trio
Somebody Loves Me - Peggy Lee
Avalon - The Pied Pipers
April Showers - Margaret Whiting

Together - Clark Dennis
The album consists of four 78-rpm discs. Peggy Lee's "Somebody Loves Me" can be found on disc #10085, whose flip side has the Andy Russell performance.
This Buddy DeSylva songbook has never been issued on compact disc. If paired with the similarly oriented Jerome Kern's Music (see session dated September 23, 1946), it could make for a fine CD twofer. DRG Records would be a prime candidate to issue such a twofer. That noteworthy record company has already released a disc which similarly combined two 1940s albums featuring Capitol's roster of artists at the time: Kiss Me, Kate and South Pacific. (The latter is also listed in this page, year 1949.)

NOTES:
Originally slated for commercial issue in USA land in 1947, Benny's Best was ultimately cancelled. Benny Goodman expert David Jessup has persuasively conjectured on this subject matter. In his estimation, Columbia might have abandoned its plans for the release when Goodman decided to end his contract with the company, signing instead with rival label Capitol Records. The Columbia family of labels did release Benny's Best abroad, though. In Canada, it was given the catalogue number A-52 (discs C6322-C6325). However, the Canadian track listing seems to be partially different from that of the version intended for American consumption: I am told that its only Peggy Lee track is "Why Don't You Do Right?".
The slated USA version of the album would have consisted of the following 78-rpm discs: #37243 ("Let's Dance" / "Why Don't You Do Right?"), #37244 ("Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" / "That Did It, Marie"), #37245 ("Jersey Bounce" / "A String Of Pearls") and #37246 ("Scatterbrain" / "On The Sunny Side Of The Street"). My thanks to Jack Kirschenbaum and to Dave Weiner for their kind assistance in tracking down the catalogue number of this prospective album, and to David Jessup for the revelation that it was left unissued in the USA.

NOTES:
The title of this 1948 album points to the fact that most of its songs had been recorded years earlier, yet left unissued until then. In addition to Peggy Lee, the other seven acts featured in the set are Benny Carter ("I Can't Get Started"), Sonny Greer ("Bug In A Rug"), The Hollywood Hucksters ("I Apologize"), Eddie Miller ("Just One More Chance"), Red Nichols ("Your Everything"), Rex Stewart's Big Eight ("T'Ain't Like That") and Stan Kenton. Besides Peggy Lee, the only other female heard in the album is Anita O'Day, making an appearance in her capacity as Stan Kenton's canary. O'Day sings "Travelin' Man," a number that she had recorded on January 5, 1945 -- that is to say, merely a few days after Lee recorded "Baby (Is What He Calls Me)." Peggy Lee's "Baby" can be found in 78-rpm disc #48014, whose flip side features the aforementioned Rex Stewart performance.

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's first original album and first charting album, Rendezvous With Peggy Lee has a somewhat complicated issuing history. Over a 12-year span, Capitol released and re-released it in multiple configurations -- a sure indication that it was a popular seller. It peaked at #2 in Billboard's 1948 Best-Selling Popular Record Albums chart. The same peak position was achieved by the album in two other periodicals which were publishing charts at that time: Variety (on both daily and weekly editions).
The album's core consists of masters from three consecutive sessions (November 12, 19, 20, 1947). Five of the numbers from those November 1947 dates were included in the original release, a six-song issue. Since the same roster of jazz-oriented instrumentalists seems to be heard in those three consecutive sessions, there is reason to assume that these dates were scheduled for the express purpose of making an album. (As for the sixth number included in the original Rendezvous issue, it was a number that Lee recorded just a few weeks after the aforementioned dates.)
The album's street date release took place on March 29, 1948. At that time, it was issued as CC-72, a cardboard 78-rpm album which was part of Capitol's Criterion series and which consisted of three discs. The discs and the songs were:
Cap. 10118 - I Can't Give You Anything But Love / Why Don't You Do Right?
Cap. 10119 - Stormy Weather / Them There Eyes
Cap. 10120 - 'Deed I Do / Don't Smoke In Bed
Not long afterwards, the album was also issued as a 45-rpm album box (CCF 151) -- perhaps in 1949, or even 1950. The 45-rpm box contained the same six numbers as the 78-rpm album, and paired in identical manner:
Cap. 511 - I Can't Give You Anything But Love / Why Don't You Do Right?
Cap. 511 - Stormy Weather / Them There Eyes
Cap. 513 - 'Deed I Do / Don't Smoke In Bed
In 1951, Capitol re-released some of the album's songs in the form of singles (#1601, #1602, #1667).
In June of 1952, the album was expanded from six to eight songs. That eight-song version of Rendezvous came out in two configurations: as a 10" LP (H 151) and as an EP album (EBF 151). The newly added titles were:
While We're Young (recorded November 27, 1947, and thus from the same months as the other six songs)
I Don't Know Enough About You (a hit that had been recorded well before all other songs in the album -- on December 26, 1945)
Notice that, as shown in the just given data, two 45-rpm album versions of Rendezvous With Peggy Lee exist: the earlier one (CCF 151) which has six songs, and the later one (EBF 151) which has eight. The latter is a double-pocket EP. In other words, it consists of two 45-rpm discs, each disc containing two songs per side. And, unlike the earlier release (CCF 151), EBF 151 comes in a gatefold cover, not inside a box.
Next, on April 1, 1955, the album was expanded yet again, so that it could meet the expectations of the 12" LP configuration. In addition to the eight songs already mentioned, the 12" LP version included (a) one more song from the original sessions and (b) three more well-known hits by Lee:
(a) Hold Me (recorded November 19, 1947)
(b) It's A Good Day (recorded July 12, 1946)
(b) Mañana (recorded November 25, 1947)
(b) Golden Earrings (recorded September 23, 1947)

NOTES:
Benny Goodman, His Orchestra And Sextet; Vocals By Peggy Lee was originally issued as a 78-rpm album. Consisting of four 78-rpm discs (#38280 to #38283), the set was subsequently released with the same eight recordings in Canada but a different front cover, a shortened title, and another catalogue number (a70, featuring discs numbered from 6399 to 6402).
The Canadian set has an error in its front cover. Of the eight song titles listed in that cover, the last one ("Somebody Loves Me") is incorrect. The title meant to be listed was "Somebody Nobody Loves." (Lee did not record "Somebody Loves Me" during her years with The Benny Goodman Orchestra.) This error is not found in the cover of C-170; the American set's eighth song is correctly listed.
The album under scrutiny also came out as a 10" LP and as a gatefold EP, with each format containing the same eight masters.
A clarification: although D. Russell Connor's definitive bio-discography of Benny Goodman lists EP B-406 under only four of the eight above-shown masters, that gatefold EP definitely contains all eight songs. This seems to be a rare case of error of omission on Russell Connor's part. The songs under which Connor neglects to list the EP are "My Little Cousin," "Not Mine," "Somebody Nobody Loves," and "On The Sunny Side Of The Street." In what seems to be an additional error, he also lists EP B-406 under "Blues In The Night."

NOTES:
The songs found in this album (and their interpreters) are:
(I'm In Love With) A Wonderful Guy - Margaret Whiting
Bali Ha'i - Peggy Lee
Younger Than Springtime - Gordon MacRae
Happy Talk / Honey Bun - Frank DeVol And His Orchestra
There Is Nothin' Like A Dame - Dave Barbour And His Orchestra
A Cock-eyed Optimist - Margaret Whiting
I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair - Peggy Lee
Some Enchanted Evening - Gordon MacRae
The album originally came out in at least 3 configurations:
(a) A 78-rpm album titled Songs From Rodgers And Hammerstein's South Pacific (catalogue number CD-162), which contains four discs. "Bali Ha'i" can be found in a 78-rpm disc numbered 57-597. (Capitol's Peggy Lee session file erroneously lists the disc that contains "Bali Ha'i" as 54-597 (alb. Cdf-162). There are actually two errors in the file's data: the digit four should be a seven, and the album's prefix should not have the letter F. These errors do not appear in other Capitol documentation.) Released in mid-1949.
(b) A 10" LP, titled Songs From South Pacific (H 163 in the copies that I have seen and in many documents, although a few normally reliable sources misidentify it as H 164). Release date unknown; possibly 1950.
(c) A 45-rpm album titled Songs From Rodgers And Hammerstein's South Pacific (catalogue number Cdf 163), which contains four discs. "Bali Ha'i" can be found in a 45-rpm disc numbered 54 601. Release date unknown; probably between 1952 and 1954.
In some online sites, I have also come across listings for a 4th original issue: Ebf 162. However, I have yet to find evidence of this issue's existence, and have thus abstained from entering it in the database at present time. (If it does exist, Ebf 162 should be a 45-rpm album, just like (c) above. The hypothetical 45-rpm album would differ from (c) in its total number of discs: two in the case of Ebf 162, four in the case of Cdf 163. Both would include a total of eight numbers.
A sub-note about configurations (a) and (c). Sellers of used records oftentimes offer those 78-rpm and 45-rpm discs as separate pieces. As already explained, such discs were originally sold as components of the albums, not separately.

NOTES:
California Suite was originally issued in three configurations: as a 78-rpm set (three discs, bearing numbers from 8-28004 to 8-28007), as a 45-rpm set (four discs, with numbers from 6f-28004 to 6f-28007), and as a LP that was Capitol's first non-classical 12" vinyl. No track listing is found in any of these three original configurations: the album's contents are presented as one thirty-minute-long unit, without any divisions or song titles. (The above-shown titles first appeared when EMI released the suite in British land. Such titles were subsequently incorporated to both American and European reissues.)
Lee's participation is minimal in some of the above-listed tracks. The tracks on which she does not participate are "Mountain Desert Theme," "They Go To San Diego," "Sunday Night In San Fernando," "Prelude To 'Poor Little Extra Girl'," and "Poor Little Extra Girl."

NOTES:
The 1950 album My Best To You is a rather curious grab bag of numbers from many sessions. Only two of the songs come from the same date. The eight-song batch can be logically divided, however, into two categories, or into two halves. Half of the numbers are selections that Lee turned into hits ("Why Don't You Do Right?," "It's A Good Day," "Golden Earrings," "Mañana") and the other half are superior interpretations which did not achieve the widespread popularity that they deserved ("A Nightingale Can Sing The Blues," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Hold Me," and "While We're Young").
Given the album's title, the possibility that Peggy Lee had some degree of participation in its making cannot be discarded. However, I am more inclined to believe that Capitol Records put it together without any heavy input from the vocalist. Ultimately, the album comes off as a shortchanged attempt at condensing Lee's previous decade of recordings into a mere handful of selections.
One of my secondary sources indicates that My Best To You was also issued as a 78-rpm album with catalogue number CD-204. No such 78-rpm album is listed in Peggy Lee's session file, nor in other reliable sources. The only two configurations of which I am aware are the 10" LP (containing eight songs) and a 45-rpm box set (containing six songs).

NOTES:
According to the Capitol Jazz Discography by Michel Ruppli et al, this 45-rpm album version of My Best To You excludes two numbers that can be found in the LP version: "A Nightingale Can Sing The Blues" and "While We're Young." Indeed, an online auction indeed shows this 45 set as consisting of only three discs:
F 15482 - "It's A Good Day" / "Why Don't You Do Right?"
F 15483 - "Hold Me" / "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"
F 15484 - "Mañana" / "Golden Earrings"
Since I do not have a copy of this 45 box, I cannot fully vouch for the claim that is has six instead of eight songs, but I do believe it. Most Capitol 45 boxed sets from the early 1950s consist of six tracks on three discs.

NOTES:
The film Road To Bali had its official New York debut on January 29, 1953. It starred Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. All three actors also sing in the film's soundtrack, and all three seem to have been under contract with Decca Records during the early 1950s, too. Yet Lamour did not participate in this soundtrack-inspired album, put together by Decca. According to one unconfirmed report, the reason for Lamour's exclusion was her asking fee, which was deemed too high. Hence Bing Crosby and company asked Peggy Lee to record some of the numbers that Dorothy Lamour sings in the soundtrack. The recruitment of Lee for these sessions is not surprising; Crosby had a long-established professional rapport with her -- due to the numerous radio shows that they had done together -- and she has just joined his record label.
This Decca album was released in late 1952 or early 1953. Nearly all consulted websites give the date as 1952, and they could be correct. Nevertheless, I have been unable to find reliable corroboration for a 1952 date. The album is prominently listed in the "New Albums" section of an ad placed by Decca on the January 3, 1953 issue of Billboard magazine. Accordingly, it has been assigned a 1953 release date herein.

NOTES:
Only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed above (in other words, not the full track listing). In its heyday, this 12-track album was a treasure trove of debuting masters. Seven tracks were making their very first commercial appearance. Among them were ”That's The Way It Goes" and "Not A Care In The World": neither had been previously issued on 78 rpm, 45 rpm, or any other configuration.
It should be noted, in passing, that this album has a companion piece, titled Benny Goodman Presents Fletcher Henderson Arrangements. The two albums share the same release history, but the Fletcher Henderson item does not concern us here, because Peggy Lee is not featured in it.
Over the years, I have spent an inordinate amount of time researching Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter. Concerned about various suspicious details in the data at my reach, I embarked on a search for additional information that eventually proved worthwhile, resulting as it did in numerous corrections of the originally supplied data. Below I have explained the various matters that turned out to need modification or clarification.
a) The Two LPs (Catalogue Numbers)
Some sources list the LP edition of this album as GL 523. Other sources list it as CL 523. It turns out that both listings are correct. The album was issued twice, with the same artwork and track listing but different prefixes (GL, CL) and different colors for the label of the vinyl (black in the GL version, red in the CL version): 
GL 523 came out first. It was part of a Columbia series that started out with a LP numbered GL 500, and which continued using the prefix "GL" until its #524 issue. Hence, after GL 524, the succeeding issue in the series was released as CL 525. This numerical change signaled a budgetary modification: Columbia advertised the CL series as a low[er]-priced line whose catalogue would combine newly recorded albums with re-releases of older albums from the abandoned GL series.
Clearly a popular item, Goodman’s albums from the GL series were guaranteed to be reissued or re-pressed for the CL series. And so it was. We have a GL 523 and a CL 523, and we know that the latter enjoyed multiple pressings over the years. What's more, CL 523 exists in two very different-looking editions, the second using the so-called CBS eye label:
Further attesting to the album's popularity and longevity is the fact that CBS reissued it in 1975, with entirely different artwork (fourth image below; the other three images will receive commentary shortly). Then there is a Sony-licensed twofer CD (2000) on the Collectables label, combining this Sauter album with its Fletcher Henderson counterpart.
Seen immediately below are the original 1953 LP again (Gl 523; first image), two pressings of the Cl 523 reissue, and the 1975 CBS reissue (Jgl 523; last image). For and image of the twofer CD, and for other related items, check the pictorial Benny Goodman page, section XII. 
b) The Two LPs (Years Of Release)
The LP Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter is dated 1953 in some sources, 1955 in other sources.
Back in the late 1990s, when I started gathering data about this Columbia release, I wondered about the accuracy of the 1953 date. To me, it seemed a bit early for a 12" LP. However, I promptly learned that my misgivings were unfounded. Columbia Records had actually begun releasing 12” versions of its cast albums and popular LPs in the early 1950s, and their GL series had had its premiere release in late 1951. More recently, in the 2000s, I came upon an ad from a 1953 Billboard magazine, which corroborated that GL 523 had indeed been issued as a 12” LP in May of that year.
At the present time (2015), the 1955 dating is the one that remains a question mark for me. It may be that the date belongs to CL 523 (the reissue). Another possibility is that the sources pointing to 1955 as the year of release are referring to the British edition of the album, which was certainly issued in 1955.
c) The Two EPs (Catalogue Numbers & Years Of Release)
Through the years, my primary source for all things Goodman has been D. Russell Connor's exhaustive Benny Goodman: Listen To The Legacy. In the particular case under discussion, however, Connor's text lists the album only in its 12" LP configuration. Thanks to internet auctions and to other sources on the web, I eventually discovered the additional existence of a 45-rpm version, numbered B-356. It is a tri-gatefold album, consisting of three EPs, each with two songs per side.
There was yet another discovery, made more recently. It turns out that Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter enjoyed not one but two 45-rpm editions. I first came upon hints of this situation when I located the aforementioned 1953 Billboard ad, in which the catalogue number of the EP version is listed as 419. Such was not the number that I had been seeing elsewhere (B-356).
In 2015, thanks to Goodman bio-discographer (and D. Russell Connor successor) David Jessup, I learned that the original EP version of Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter was indeed a boxed set numbered G 4-19. It consisted of three EP discs (7-1501, 7-1502, and 7-1503) each containing four songs.
Obviously, original EP Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter (G 4-19) and its counterpart Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Fletcher Henderson (G 4-20) belonged to a series called G 4. These two EPs broke the pattern that the series had hitherto followed: each previous item in the series comprised six 45-rpm discs. Both G 4-19 and G 4-20 consist of three EP discs instead.
The first three images below show the following components of album G 4-19: the front cover of the boxed set and both sides of the EP that contains the Peggy Lee numbers. The second row of images spotlight album B-356, showing that it is not a boxed set but a tri-gatefold album whose three EPs bear red-colored labels.
To summarize, the Columbia EP Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter was released twice. The original release (G 4-19) dates from 1953, and it is a 3EP boxed set. The label of the EPs is black. The later release (B-356) is a tri-gatefold set, also consisting of three EPs, whose labels are red.
As for the release date of Columbia B-356, it remains unknown to me. As a possibility awaiting confirmation, Jessup has suggested the period leading up to the debut of the film The Benny Goodman Story (February 2, 1956), during which Columbia naturally orchestrated the re-release of various Goodman items. (The same reasoning could be applied to the also unknown release date of 12" LP CL 523.)
d) The 45-rpm Single(s)
In D. Russell Connor’s Benny Goodman: Listen To The Legacy, the two Peggy Lee songs that were included in the album Benny Goodman Presents Arrangements By Eddie Sauter ("Not A Care In The World" and "That's The Way It Goes") are listed as being issued on a 45-rpm item identified as Columbia Co #7-1502. (Two instrumentals found in the LPs and the EPs are also listed as part of Columbia Co #7-1502.
Russell Connor was probably relying on somewhat deceptive data from Columbia’s files. It turns out that this is not an isolated single: it is instead the above-shown EP from the boxed set G 4-419. (Similarly, the other two EP discs in the boxed set, 7-1500 and 7-1501 are listed as 45-rpm items in Russell Connor's opus.)

NOTES:
The Broadway musical Kismet premiered to popular success on December 3, 1953. The cast album was released by Columbia soon afterwards. Meanwhile the other record labels rushed to release competing versions of the show's songs, as recorded by their respective rosters of artists. At Decca, Danny Kaye, Peggy Lee and The Four Aces were enlisted for this purpose. Columbia also issued its own EP edition, titled Hits From Kismet, with selections sung by Tony Bennett, Champ Butler, Lu Simms, and Jerry Vale. Simms tackled "Baubles, Bangles And Beads."

NOTES:
Songs In An Intimate Style was the successor to the 10" vinyl version of Black Coffee. Chosen as Songs In An Intimate Style's opening track, the hit "Baubles, Bangles And Beads" was probably the catalyst that led to the creation of this song collection. Decca must have wanted to capitalize on the commercial success of that recent hit single, and also on the critical success of Lee's previous album. The promotional note in the back cover of the Intimate LP 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 identity of the main individual(s) behind the conception of Songs In An Intimate Style is unclear. Considering the above-quoted promotional remark, I'm more inclined to believe that the album was conceived by a Decca producer, rather than by Lee. (Of course, Lee's input might have been taken into consideration. Perhaps the song selection was at least partially dictated by her.)
The eight songs in this album originate in sessions that 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). And yet, 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 eight tracks, seven are love ballads which Peggy Lee renders with a deep sense of intimacy. The eighth number ("Apples, Peaches And Cherries") is actually a ballad, too, though in a different mold: a charming folk-style tale of romance.
The core of the album lies in the session dated September 14, 1953. (Three of the session's four masters were included, leaving out the not-so-intimate, Neapolitan-flavored "The Night Holds No Fear For The Lover.") Of the remaining five masters, two are from the next session (September 16), which was also dedicated to the recording of a holiday single. To fill the rest of Songs In An Intimate Style, Decca searched for suitably intimate ballads from Peggy Lee's back catalogue.
The 10" LP version of Songs In An Intimate Style was released on August 9, 1954. Curiously, I have also come across a 1953 release date for the album. Since I have corroborated that August 9, 1954 is the correct date for the 10" LP version, a 1953 date could be correct only if it applied to another album configuration. Before the CD era, the only other configuration in which this album came out was as an EP. I do not know the EP's release date, but I find it unlikely that Decca would have issued it a year in advance of the 10" LP. (That said, there is some room for such a possibility. There is also room for the possibility that, after all, my sources have an erroneous date for the 10" LP. Since the youngest songs in the album date from September 1953, Songs In An Intimate Style could have been hypothetically issued between October and December of that year.)

NOTES:
This album peaked at #2 in Billboard's long play chart, called then Best Selling Popular Albums. The EP was given that peak on the December 25, 1954 issue, the LP on the January 1, 1955 issue. As shown above, Peggy Lee participated in one third of the album's tracks. This was Lee's second appearance in this chart; her own Rendezvous With Peggy Lee had reached the same position.
Unlike its later counterparts, the 78 album edition lists 11 tracks -- not twelve. "Blue Skies," a duet sung by Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, is the unlisted track. Although I have not listened to the 78 album, I am inclined to believe that the number was erroneously left unlisted from the album, as it seems to be the second part of a medley which starts with the song "Mandy," which is listed in all editions.

NOTES:
The release date that I have assigned to this EP is tentative. I do not know its actual date, but various details point to the mid-1950s. Presumably, the preparation of this EP was triggered by the international success of the 1954 movie Johnny Guitar; hence a 1954 date would make sense. The inclusion of two holiday numbers would further suggest a dating between October and December of that year.

A four-track EP, release in at least three countries (Australia, Italy, United Kingdom), with different designs and catalogue numbers. Only the one track featuring Peggy Lee is listed above. The vinyl bears no EP title, and different source give a different title for the item. The first song title, "Let's Dance," is printed in boldface in the front cover of the Australian edition, thereby suggesting that such should be the EP's name. Meanwhile, the Italian edition makes no suggestions, pointing instead to "Benny Goodman And His Orchestra" as the title of choice. I have not seen the British edition; a secondary source gives its title as Benny Goodman Plays.

Besides the six above-listed Peggy Lee vocals, this 10" album also includes:
1) an instrumental performed by Oliver Wallace with his orchestra ("Lady")
2) a George Givot vocal with Wallace's orchestra ("Bella Notte and Finale")
3) an amusing rendition of "Home, Sweet Home," barked (rather than sung) by The Mellomen in their roles as the movie's Pound Hounds.
The total number of tracks is nine. (In the album, the medley of "Peace On Earth" and "Silent Night" is listed as one track.)
The July 23, 1955 issue of Billboard lists a Peggy Lee Decca item titled The Lady And The Tramp [sic] at the #10 slot of the magazine's Best Selling Children Records chart. No catalogue number is given. The item in question is presumed to be this 10" album.
The same chart includes two other items of interest. At #12 is a special Decca single, numbered K-149. Identified as "The Siamese Cat Song," this picture-sleeve single actually has its own title, From Walt Disney's Lady And The Tramp. At #4 is another item identified as The Lady And The Tramp [sic], on Capitol [sic] Dbx 3056. This is actually Capitol's own narration of the movie's story, on a12" LP.

NOTES:
This joint effort by Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee fared well commercially: it peaked at #7 and spent 10 weeks in Billboard's Best-Selling Popular Albums chart. Even though both singers had other LPs of greater longevity in the album chart, Pete Kelly's Blues was actually the highest-peaking album of their respective careers, during the rock era. (By rock era, I mean the chart period that begins in 1955 with "Rock Around The Clock," the smash by Billy Haley And His Comets. Before 1955, one of Lee's albums had actually peaked at #2 -- Rendezvous With Peggy Lee -- and she had also been part of another #2-peaking item, Selections From Irving Berlin's White Christmas.)

NOTES:
One of three EPs. Unlike this EP, the other two contain songs exclusively from the Walt Disney movie Lady And The Tramp. The last installment in the three-piece series, the present EP splits its contents between songs from the film and songs from Lee's other singles. (On another note, I should point out that I have not listened to this EP. Hence the identification of its version of "La La Lu" as the same one from the Decca single -- as opposed to the longer one from the LP -- is an educated guess.)

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's most acclaimed LP in its expanded twelve-song edition, released three years after the original eight-song version. For comments about its genesis, see notes under Decca session dated April 30, 1953.
The exact year of release of this 12" LP was once in contention. Some music sites and record guides give it a 1956 date, others a 1957 date. The correct release date is August 1956, per announcements made in trade periodicals at the time. (The existence of a November 1956 magazine review adds to the evidence.)
Online claims that Black Coffee did not make the charts are erroneous. The original, American 10" LP edition did chart at Billboard, and a 1961 reissue of the 12" LP, on Brunswick's Ace of Hears branch, did chart in the United Kingdom.

NOTES:
In addition to the above-listed numbers by Peggy Lee, this album contains tracks by Gloria DeHaven (I Like To Do Things For You," "I See A Million People"), Joanne Gilbert ("Sweet Georgia Brown," Pat Kirby ("The Boy With The Greensleeves," "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe"), Carmen McRae ("Come On, Come In"), and Jeri Southern ("An Occasional Man").
The cover features one of George Petty's "The Petty Girl" drawings, which were originally featured in Esquire magazine. Decca's entire "Music For The Boy Friend" series featured Petty's drawings of pinup girls. In the 12" Lp configuration, the series ran on a continuous string from Decca Dl 8309 to the album under discussion:
Did Someone Say A Party? (Decca Dl 8309; also Coral Cp 104, Ace Of Hearts 104), featuring Artie Shaw And His Orchestra.
She Does On Dreamy Music (Decca Dl 8310; Ed 2383), whose cover should be viewable here. Features Harry Hermann And His Orchestra.
She Adores The Latin Type (Decca Dl 8311), with Bebo Valdés and His Orchestra Tropicana.
She Loves The Movies (Decca Dl 8312), whose cover may still be viewable here. It features numbers by The Four Aces and by two orchestras (Alfred Newman's, Victor Young's).
He Likes To Go Dancing (Decca Dl 8313), with track by The Commandeers featuring Eddie Grady, and the orchestras of Jerry Gray and Gordon Jenkins. The front cover can be seen here.
He Really Digs Jazz! (Decca Dl 8314), viewable here. It features instrumentals by Tommy Dorsey' Clambake Seven, John Graas Ensemble, and Woody Herman with both his Woodchoppenrs and his orchestra.
He Digs Rock'n'roll (Decca Dl 8315), with Bill Haley And The Comets, The Mello-Tones, Gloria Mann, and others.
In the EP configuration, I am aware of at least one issue that I have not been able to locate as a LP:
She Loves The Matinee Type (Decca Ed 2391), featuring instrumentals by Victor Young And His Orchestra.
Some sources list The Feminine Touch as Decca Dl 5486 and give it a September 23, 1953 dating. Those sources are correct, but the album to which they are referring is not this one. It is instead a 10" LP which bears the same title as the album under discussion and whose tracks are not by female vocalists but by female pianists (Cleo Brown, Dorothy Donegan, Ann Jenkins, Hazel Scott, Mary Lou Williams). The present LP and EP were, on the other hand, announced as upcoming items in October 1956 trade magazines.

3) a George Givot vocal with Wallace's orchestra ("Bella Notte and Finale").
The total number of tracks is 9. (In the album, the medley of "Peace On Earth" and "Silent Night" is listed as one track.)

NOTES:
The front cover of this Decca LP features a drawing of Peggy Lee's face and neck, with a street behind her. The drawing of Lee is clearly based on a mid-1950s photo that have also been used as a front cover, in albums such as the one viewable here.
Abroad, Dream Street was (re)issued with alternate versions of the same drawing. One alternate drawing comes from the United Kingdom, where it was used by both Brunswick (Lat 8171) and Jasmine Records (Jasm 1032). Yet a third alternate drawing was used by Festival Records (Fr 12-1475) in Australia and New Zealand. For the benefit of those who enjoy making side-by-side comparisons, I have included photos of not only the three LP cover drawings but also the publicity shots that inspired them: you can see them here, section V (aka Dream Street). As for CDs of Dream Street, all the ones of which I am aware have used the original Decca LP cover.

NOTES:
British editions of the LP Dream Street replace one of the tracks found in the US original with the number "I Don't Know Enough About You," which is not even from the Dream Street sessions. (It is from the Miss Wonderful dates, and can also be found on that LP, in both its US and UK editions.)
The track dropped from the British editions of Dream Street is "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face," which originated in the 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady. When Brunswick issued Dream Street in the UK, that musical had yet to make its debut there. For that reason, the release of any non-cast recordings in Great Britain was probably forbidden, or at least problematic. (The London premiere took place on April 30, 1958.)

NOTES:
Comments About The Earliest All-Peggy-Lee CD Issue. The album pictured in the photo on the left was originally issued in 1957, as an LP. It is a compilation of tracks that Benny Goodman And His Orchestra recorded for the Columbia label in 1941 and 1942. (Back then, they were released on 78-rpm singles, and were primarily credited to Goodman, who had hired Lee to fulfill a canary role for the band.) This LP came out as part of a series of albums on a budget line that Columbia Records was newly setting up in 1957. A "buyer beware" is in order; this is an album that leaves a lot to be desired. For starters, it was electronically re-recorded to simulate stereo. Even more notoriously, Lee's first chorus is missing from the album's transfers of "Full Moon" and "That Did It, Marie." These faults and lesser ones were never corrected in any of the ensuing reprints and reissues of the album, CD transfers included.
Reissued by CBS in 1988 as a compact disc, Peggy Lee Sings With Benny Goodman was either the earliest or one of the earliest Peggy Lee CDs ever to show up in the United States. Competition for the title comes from two of the singer's original albums, Close Enough For Love and Peggy Lee Sings The Blues, whose compact disc editions also came out in 1988 -- the latter in the fall. To my knowledge, all other USA Peggy Lee CDs were released no earlier than 1989. (For details about the earliest Peggy Lee CDs issues outside of the United States, consult several notes below -- in particular, those under the entry for the 1987 CDs Unforgettable, on Castle Records, and the ones under Why Don't You Do Right, on Joker Tonverlag. See also notes under the 1979 Columbia Sony issue A Portrait Of Peggy Lee, 1941-1942 and the 1987 Pigeon CD Latin!.)
As illustrated by the picture on the right, the CD was also available in longbox packaging during the late 1980s. On a separate but related note, I should point out that some sources erroneously claim that the Goodman-Lee CD under discussion was issued far earlier, in 1984. Not so. Although it is true that the year 1984 brought out a reissue/reprint of the album, the formats on which it became avaiable were LP and, probably for the first time, cassette. There was no CD counterpart until 1988. Corroborating evidence comes from a review published in the winter 1988 issue of the magazine Show Music, and from dedicated Goodman collectors who were active buyers at the time. (Had there been one, a 1984 CD edition would have been a "primeval" digital "specimen." That was the same year in which, according to most sources, the United States produced commercial CDs for the first time. Earlier commercially available CDs had come chiefly from Japan, which in 1982 had pioneered the practice of commercially releasing them.)
If music price guides are to be believed, the CD Peggy Lee Sings With Benny Goodman has actually enjoyed quite a few additional pressings and/or reissues: 1990, 1992, 1995, et cetera. Some of those reissues were produced by branches aiming at listeners of a certain age, and at purveyors of nostalgia. One example is the CD shown on the right, from Sony Special Markets, whose release date is not fully clear to me. Some sources give it a 1990 date. My copy bears a 1992 date, but it could be that I own a reprint of a 1990 original. Moving on to another subject matter: the pictures seen below, in the remainder of this entry, present cassette versions of the issue under discussion, and have been included mostly for the purpose of decorating what is a very long entry. If curious to see yet more reissues and foreign editions of this album, consult part III of this discography's gallery of Lee-with-Goodman releases.
Explanatory Comments About This Discography's CD Index. [Due to an automated feature, the following notes appear in two indexes but apply only to the CD index. If you are presently consulting the LP index, please skip the remainder of the present entry.] In this CD index, all discs are listed chronologically by year of release. Exceptions to the chronological order involve entries featuring a CD that has a LP counterpart. In such cases, the release date is that of the LP, which sometimes is much earlier than the CD's date. (The entry right above is an instance -- a complicated one, at that.) Viewers should also be aware of the fact that I am missing the release date for about 30 CDs; those undated items have been listed at the very end of the page.
This page is obviously extremely long. Readers in search of particular CDs will hopefully be aware of the existence of a handy Find/Search engine in their computers' browsers (generally located at the top left of the screen, under the "Edit" menu.) Further adding to the page's length are the occasional notes that I have provided for certain CDs of note. Expanded versions of such notes can also be found in the sessionography (i.e., the sessions, which form the primary body of this discography). One feature exclusive to the present page is, on the other hand, the listing of producer or production credits for recommended CDs.
Non-American CDs have been excluded from this index if they have a USA counterpart. (By "counterpart," I mean a CD that contains the exact same tracks and the same basic artwork as the American original.) I have prepared separate pages for such counterparts; consult this discography's Miscellanea section, specifically this page and this page. Because the same Miscellanea section dedicates a page to various-artists compilations, only a few noteworthy various-artists CDs will be found in the present index.
Some of the images that grace the entry above (i.e., Peggy Lee Sings With Benny Goodman) have been provided merely for aesthetic purposes, while others were meant to illustrate the points made in the surrounding text. The bottom of the page also uses images for decorative purposes. Most other images in this page subscribe to a different rationale: they signal recommended CDs, which are further highlighted by the uppercase and bold font on their titles. (In the majority of cases, above-average sound quality is among the reasons why the given CD has been recommended. In a few cases, the CD's sound is mediocre but its contents is important for Peggy Lee completists. I have specified such problematic cases in the notes under the respective entries.)

NOTES:
An online site gives 1967 as the release year for this issue. I am instead using the 1957 date that I located in my original research, and which I deem more reliable.
As shown above, Festival made one track substitution. "I've Got You Under My Skin," from Lee's Black Coffee sessions, has been added as a replacement for "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face." (That track was also dropped from British editions of the Dream Street album, and replaced with yet a number from yet another Lee session.)
"I've Grown Accustomed To His Face" originated in the 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady. When Festival issued Dream Street in Australia and New Zealand, that musical probably had not made its debut there. For that reason, the release of any non-cast recordings would have probably been forbidden or, at least, deemed problematic.

NOTES:
Curiously, Decca released at least two versions of this Decca LP, both with the same title and cover but each with different track listing. They do not seem to be part of series, and I do not know of any other rationale for the label's decision. Only Dl 9056 includes Lee's "Ring Those Christmas Bells"; the other version (Dl 38170) does not feature Lee at all. Over the years, covers, full track details and bloggers' discussion about Dl 9056 and Dl 38170 have been accessible at various sites or blogs, the most helpful one being this one.

NOTES:
Only the third EP from the Festival label; the first and second had been dedicated to Australian acts. The cover shows a drawing of Peggy Lee in the act of singing, and wearing a purple dress, with a long pearl necklace around her neck. The greenish background shows wood and shrubs. The model for the drawing of Lee is obviously a still from the movie Peter Kelly's Blues.

NOTES:
According to Joel Whitburn Presents The Billboard Albums (6th ed., 2006), Jump For Joy entered the album charts during the week of July 14, 1958, and had its peak at the #15 position.
Curiously, some of the sources at my reach claim that Jump For Joy was released much later: on March 16, 1959. The claim is not correct. Extant trade ads prove that the album was part of Capitol batch of releases for April of 1958.
There are also reviews that date from 1958 (April 19, 1958 on Cash Box, July 1958 on another American magazine, September 1958 on a British publication), as well as an inclusion on a Capitol Record Club ad published by Life magazine on its September 8, 1958 issue. (Some sources have similarly attached a late and wrong release date to Things Are Swingin', the follow-up to Jump For Joy.) All aforementioned ads and reviews list only the mono edition of the album.
The March 16, 1959 date found in some sources is likely to refer to the stereo release. In the years 1958 and 1959, Capitol embarked on a project of re-releasing in stereo album that had previously appeared in mono. (These re-releases were not new recordings of the same songs. They were the exact masters that had been originally in mono. At the sessions, tape machines to record in both mono and stereo had been set up, though at first Capitol saw fit to issue LPs with only the the mono versions.

NOTES:
According to Joel Whitburn Presents The Billboard Albums (6th ed., 2006), Things Are Swingin' entered the album charts during the week of December 8, 1958, and had its peak at the #16 position.
Many sources list this LP as originally issued in 1959 -- specifically, May 1959. Not so. The error stems from the fact that the mono and stereo editions of the LP were separately issued.
A November 1958 Capitol trade ad proves that the mono edition of Things Are Swingin' was originally released on that month. Further proof of a pre-May 1959 release comes in the form of a magazine review published in February 1959.
It was the stereo edition that was released in May of 1959. Indeed, the May 16, 1959 issue of Cash Box lists Things Are Swingin' among more than a dozen albums that Capitol was issuing in stereo on that month.
(A similar, parallel mono/stereo situation applies to Jump For Joy, the Peggy Lee album which was released right before this one.)
A note about track listing and indexing. This album has 12 tracks. I have separately indexed one track, "You're Mine, You." The reason for the separation is that, unlike the other 11 tracks, "You're Mine, You" exists in two different takes, one included in the mono version of the original album, the other in the stereo version.

NOTES:
Thanks to the involvement of the same conductor and to the use of similar instrumentation in all tracks, this album comes off as a cohesive piece. Surprisingly, it is actually an anthology, culled from two singles sessions that took place six months apart from one another.
Note that Miss Wonderful was released three years after the original singles came out, and also three years after Peggy Lee had left Decca. Could it be that these sessions were originally scheduled with the album in mind, yet Decca ultimately decided to issue the resulting masters on singles, perhaps due to Lee's plan to leave the label? This is a question that will have to remain unanswered, due to lack of information.
Since Billboard previewed this album in its December 15, 1958 issue, Miss Wonderful might have been already commercially available in the last weeks of 1958. However, the year that most sources attach to it is 1959, and I have followed suit.
The track listing goes the extra mile in its identification of "Joey, Joey, Joey" (side B, track #2) Rather than simply being introduced under that title, this track is listed as follows: Joey Sings - JOEY, JOEY, JOEY Excerpt from Ac 2, Scene 2 of The Most Happy Fella. The song had indeed originated in the Broadway musical The Most Happy Fella, which was a brand new show in 1956.

NOTES:
This is the British edition of the American LP Miss Wonderful. Its exact release date is unknown to me, but likely to fall within mid-1959. The album was reviewed by Gramophone magazine, a British publication, in July or August of that year.
Brunswick omitted one track from the original US album edition. "Joey, Joey, Joey," (second track on the B side of Decca Dl 8816), has been replaced with "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" in Brunswick Lat 8266.
The substitution must have been motivated by legal restrictions. "Joey, Joey, Joey" comes from the Broadway musical The Most Happy Fella, which did not premiere in London until April 21, 1960. Decca and its family of labels were probably forbidden to release any recordings of the song before either the national theatrical premiere or the national release of the soundtrack. (In the United States, Columbia Records released the soundtrack in 1956. In the United Kingdom, His Master's Voice and Philips issued versions of it in 1960.)

NOTES:
This is a Kiwi edition of the American LP Miss Wonderful. The Popular Record Club had a short life as an independent label, having been created in July 1959 and absorbed by a similar Australian outfit (The Universal Record Club) in 1963. The above-given release date is tentative (but likely to be correct, given the lot digits of the catalogue number).
The Popular Record Club omitted one track from the original US album edition. "Joey, Joey, Joey," (second track on the B side of Decca Dl 8816), was replaced with "I've Got You Under My Skin." In making a substitution of "Joey, Joey, Joey" for another tracks," the Club followed the same procedure as the Brunswick label in the United Kingdom.
The substitution might have been motivated by legal restrictions. "Joey, Joey, Joey" comes from the Broadway musical The Most Happy Fella, which had probably yet to premiere in the Australian continent. Record labels were probably forbidden to release any recordings of the song before either the national theatrical premiere or the national release of the soundtrack.
Curiously, the licenser credited on label of this Popular Record Club vinyl disc is not Decca itself but one of its branches, Vocalion ("original recording by Vocalion Records, Inc., U.S.A.").

NOTES:
Curiously, the LP I Like Men!, released in February 1959, did not make the charts. And yet, as shown by a Billboard magazine ad, I Like Men! did get some promotion from Capitol. But maybe the method of promotion was too "by-the-numbers" to be effective: the ad reads "Brand new music! (Capitol brand, by Nat 'King' Cole, Judy Garland, Jonah Jones & Others)." Nine albums, all of them naturally brand new, were being promoted; the first three shown are the ones by Cole, Garland, and Jones. The so-called others, in order of appearance, are The George Shearing Quintet, Peggy Lee, Les Baxter, Freddy Martin, The Frank Moore Four, and Guy Lombardo.
The album might have also gotten lost in the shuffle and the fanfare that permeated Capitol during the first half of the year. To wit: the aforementioned stereo EPs were released in April, then there was the much publicized Miami disc jockey convention in May, and subsequently the release of the Lee-Shearing album from that convention.
A note about track listing and indexing. This album has 12 tracks. I have separately indexed the tracks "I'm Just Wild About Harry," "Bill," and "Jim." The reason for the separation is that, unlike the other 9 tracks, those three exist in two different takes, one included in the mono version of the original album, the other in the stereo version.

NOTES:
On April 13, 1959, Capitol proudly released its first batch of stereo EPs. The four artists whose EPs Capitol chose for this treatment were Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Anthony, and the only female in the bunch, Peggy Lee. (As for stereo LPs, Capitol released its first batch in October 1958 -- 13 albums, all of them instrumentals.) Lee's stereo EP contained four songs that she had recorded the previous year. Three of them were hits: "Fever," "Alright, Ok, You Win," "My Man". That third song, "My Man" was actually a cut from the LP I Like Men!, and so so was the fourth song in the EP: Lee's self-penned "I Like Men!". As suggested by the comments just made, this EP was the earliest all-Peggy Lee issue to feature "Fever" in stereophonic sound. (A various-artists compilation, More Stars In Stereo had previously issued the same stereo version.)

NOTES:
This album is a studio recreation of a live concert that could not be released due to technical difficulties at the performing venue. The concert tapes exist, but their atrocious sound quality make them unusable. (There is at least one exception, however. Just one single song, from the live concert. It has been issued, and it sports very good sound quality.) Full details about the concert and about its difficulties can be found in the Capitol sessions dated May 1959.
The album entered Cashbox's Best Selling Monaural Albums chart on the week of September 12, 1959, and peaked at #19. It spent 20 weeks within that chart's top 50. It also also spent five weeks on Cashbox's Best Selling Stereo Albums chart, where it peaked #30 on the week of September 30.
The reel configuration seems to have been released in the United Kingdom, in mono. I have yet to find confirmation of a stereo counterpart, or an American version. (Lack of confirmation should not be taken to imply that an American and/or stereo version does not exist. The official Capitol sources that I consulted lack any data whatsoever about reels. Details about reels are not easy to come by.)

NOTES:
Limited to a 2,500 pressing, this item was sent to disc jockeys who pre-signed for a copy while at the Miami convention. It is actually a gatefold LP box, all-black (front, back). The front cover is completely blank, except for the album's title, in white letters. When opened, the inner sides of the box reveal themselves to be the front and back covers of the regular, commercially released Capitol LP. Also found inside, along with the vinyl, are two photos and two typewritten letters. One photo is of Peggy Lee, who has signed it with the comment "let's cut another one soon," followed by the words "Love, Peggy." The other is a photo of George Shearing, with another inscription by Peggy Lee herself ("couldn't have done it without you, George"). One of the handwritten letters is from Capitol Records, individual unknown; the other is signed by Lee on behalf of both her and Shearing. The two letters apologize to the convention's attendants for the sonic problems that preventing many of them from hearing the concert.

The original issue belongs to a series titles Música de películas. The reissue belong to a series titled Broadway Goes Hollywood, which has a different art cover design, too. Completely ignoring Peggy Lee, the front cover of the original credits Douglas as the primary artist, the Mellomen and orchestra as the accompaniment. The reissue restores the normal order of things, crediting both Douglas and Lee on its front cover. The above-given release date needs firmer confirmation, and it is unclear whether it refers to the issue, or to the reissue.

NOTES:
This long play peaked at #11 in Billboard's Best-Selling Pop LPs chart. After making its debut during the week of April 11, 1960, it went on to become Lee's longest-lasting album in that chart: 59 weeks.
A year later, on April 12, 1961, the third Grammy award ceremony was held. In the category of Best Vocal Performance, Album, Female, Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee were repeat nominees for the third straight year. (This particular year, Peggy Lee's work actually received 4 Grammy nominations.)
Latin Ala Lee! received a nomination for Best Album Cover. Lee had suggested the basic concept for the cover to Capitol's art department, where it was developed in full by art director Marvin Schwartz. He was the year's winner in this category.

NOTES:
This jukebox EP consists of five discs and contains 10 of the 12 tracks found in its LP counterpart, leaving out just the selections "Heart" and "C'est Magnifique." As far as I have been able to ascertain, Latin Ala Lee is Peggy Lee's earliest album to be issued on jukebox EP. The above-given release date should be deemed tentative, however; my source could have taken the release date of the LP and collectively assign it to all other format or counterparts, including this EP.
Though they were the same size as 45 rpm singles, jukebox EPs bore a strong connection to LPs. They ran at 33 revolutions per minute, just like LPs. Also, their spindle hole was of the same size as the hole on LPs -- as opposed to the large-sized holes of 45-rpm discs.
So far, I have come across data stating the existence of four Peggy Lee jukebox EPs, including this one. The three others are Olé A La Lee!, Blues Cross Country, and Basin Street Proudly Presents Miss Peggy Lee. All of them are listed in this page and pictured in the Capitol pictorial page, except for Basin Street Proudly Presents Miss Peggy Lee, whose existence has yet to be fully verified. (My only source for its existence is a music guide.) One additional item meriting inclusion is Capitol Ma1-1591, a 1961 release that differed from the other 33-rpm jukebox EPs by the fact that it was a compilation, and by featuring two songs instead of one per side. It belonged to a sub-series suitably called "33 Compact Double."
In addition to the above-mentioned jukebox EPs, there are also eight Peggy Lee jukebox items that fall under the EP sub-category known as little LP. Those too are listed in this page, beginning with Christmas Carousel -- tentatively dated 1960. (The others: Sugar 'n' Spice, I'm A Woman, In Love Again, Pass Me By, Then Was Then, Big $pender, Guitars Ala Lee. Also meriting inclusion is Peggy Lee's Greatest!, with catalogue number Su-377. A duophonic compilation, it otherwise follows all the requirements to qualify as a little LP.)

NOTES:
Despite appearances to the contrary, All Aglow Again! is actually an anthology, not an album of newly recorded masters. It combines hit singles with then-previously unissued numbers, most of the latter recorded way back in 1952 -- during Lee's last Capitol session before her four-year sojourn at Decca. More specifically:
a) 6 numbers drawn from hit singles released during the two years that preceded the album, including her most popular, iconic hit of the 1950s, "Fever."
b) 1 number hat had never been previously issued, from a 1957 session dedicated to material for singles.
c) 4 numbers that had never been previously issued, all of them from a 1952 session. That session had actually been Lee's the last that she had recorded for Capitol, before moving to Decca Records. (She stayed at Decca for the next few years, but returned to Capitol in 1957.)
d) Lee's most popular hit single of the 1940s, "Mañana," a 1948 million seller.
Notwithstanding erroneous information found in some record guides, Capitol LP #366 was issued in mono only: there is no stereo version of this LP. In fact, All Aglow Again! was one of the 15 monaural albums that kicked off Capitol’s “Starline” LP series, dedicated to reissuing singles by famous pop artists on 12” vinyl compilations. (The series made its debut in May of 1960.)

NOTES:
This release has a complicated issue history. The mono version originally came out in 1960 as Dxb 164, a gatefold album (or, in Decca's own wording, a "deluxe 2-pocket LP).
The stereo version came out either in 1960 or 1966, with catalogue number Dxsb 7 164. This is a fake stereo (or, as worded by Decca, an "enhanced for stereo") release. The cover differs from the earlier one in the addition of an horizontal blue stripe at the top.
A MCA version numbered 2 4049 was released in 1980, according to some sources. (One source dates it July 1987. I am more inclined to believe that all those sources are mistaken, and that this edition dates from 1966.)
I am aware of a fourth American edition of this album, I do not have a physical copy of that version, and I have seen it only twice or thrice at used record stores. Its most distinctive trait is that it is not a gatefold album. Instead, the two LPs are included inside the same jacket, a regular "one-fold" cover. Moreover, this version skips the inner contents of the gatefold cover (i.e., Leonard Feather's extensive liner notes and the 6 color photos of Lee in performance). Overall, it comes off as a budget production, and I suspect it to be the edition whose correct date is 1980 or 1987.
In the United Kingdom, the album''s history is even more complex. In 1961, British MCA split the album into two volumes, and released it as such, with catalogue numbers 8355 (volume 1) and 8356 (volume 2). Those British volumes differ from the American album is various other aspects. For starters, they are abbreviated: together, they contain 20 of the 24 songs in the American original. Then there is the fact that the track listing is similar but not identical: of the 20 songs, 4 are not found in the American original.
I have found no indication that The Best Of Peggy Lee was ever issued as one single album in the United Kingdom. Conversely, I cannot find evidence that the album was ever split into two volumes in the United States, although I am under the impression of having seen volumes 1 and 2 in American used record stores, long ago. (However, perhaps the copies that I saw were British pressings.)
In 1970, MCA's British branch Coral reissued the American album in both mono and fake stereo, too. Splitting it again into two volumes, Coral issued it with catalogue numbers Cp/Cps 25 (volume 1) and Cp/Cps 37 (volume 2). Next, in 1974, Coral reissued the volumes yet again, as Crl 1074 and Crl 1084. Those Coral versions are not abbreviated, and they contain the exact same songs found in the American original (none of the ones added to the earlier British issues).
To further complicate matters, in 1981 British MCA issued a 16-track album entitled The Best Of Peggy Lee (Mcl 1632) which is a partial reissue of Dxb 164, with the four tracks from the British volumes added for good measure, and one new track too. The cover features the same photo as the earlier volumes, but it is in b&w and is surrounded by an entirely different, all blue framing. In 1985, Mcl 1632 was reissued with the same title and the same tracks but with a different cover, and as part of a different series ("Golden Greats," Mcm 5010).

NOTES:
Though they have the same size and look as 45-rpm singles, jukebox EPs such as this one ran at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs (and, thus, not the size of 45-rpm discs). Still further, stereo was the only configuration used for jukebox EPs -- per the desire of Seeburg and the other companies in whose jukebox machines these items were played.
This particular jukebox EP belongs to the sub-category known as little LP, which is distinguished from the main category by the number of discs (just one) and the number of tracks (six, or half the amount in its 12" counterpart). In contrast, Capitol's jukebox EPs consist of five discs, each featuring one track per side, for a total of ten tracks.
Most of Capitol's little LPs date from the post-1961 period; I've come across a few, from a compilation series, which date from 1961. And yet Christmas Carousel is dated 1960 above. That release date (the one I found in an old music guide) might or might not be correct; it should be deemed very tentative.
The worthwhile discographical site Both Sides Now actually gives a 1963 date to this little LP. I find that release date far more plausible. Unfortunately, the degree to which this piece of information can be trusted is diminished by a glaring error in that website's dating of the 12" LP version of this album: Both Sides Now incorrectly lists the 12" vinyl as released in 1962 (The LP is listed in two pages of the site. The other page correctly dates it 1960.)

NOTES:
This jukebox EP contains ten of the twelve tracks found in the LP version of the album. The tracks left out of the jukebox set are "From Now On" and "You Stepped Out Of A Dream."
Though they were the same size as 45-rpm singles, jukebox EPs such as this one ran at 33 revolutions per minute. Furthermore, the spindle hole of jukebox EP discs is not of the same size as the corresponding hole in 45-rpm singles. Instead, the size is the same as in LPs.

NOTES:
The data at my reach indicates that this EP was issued in both the United States and in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, I have yet to see an American copy -- after over a decade of searching. At the present time, I have decided to operate under the assumption that the data is erroneous on the claim of an American edition.

NOTES:
A so-called compact 33, this item runs at 33 (not 45) revolutions per minute. Capitol manufactured 18 of these monaural 33-rpm EPs, each containing two tracks per side. The acts who enjoyed their own issues in the series were Ray Anthony, Les Baxter, Nat King Cole, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Les Paul With Mary Ford, Stan Freeberg, Andy Griffin, The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Stan Kenton, The Kingston Trio, Guy Lombardo And The Royal Canadians, Dean Martin, Louis Prima With Keely Smith, Frank Sinatra, Hank Thompson, and The Roger Wagner Chorale. The only solo female artists to have their own volumes in the series were Peggy Lee and Kay Starr.
Most notably cultivated by RCA (starting in January of 1961), the compact 33 format did not have long-term success. Capitol released its 18-item batch in February of 1961, then promptly discontinued it. By the summer, industry enthusiasm for the format's was long dead. But the format did not fully perish. Seven-inch disc playing at 33rpm continued to be released in the form of jukebox EPs, which came to be known as little LPs at Capitol and elsewhere. There are eight of those in Lee's discography, the first of them being from 1962 (Sugar n' Spice, Sxa-1772).

NOTES:
This Capitol issue was released on March 15, 1961. In the liner notes for the LP, Basin Street East proprietor Ralph Watkins writes that, "[t]hanks to the fine engineers and to producer Dave Cavanaugh, who captured one of the most exciting performances we have ever heard, the thousands who thrilled to Miss Lee in person will treasure this album."
Although not necessarily through any fault of his own, Watkins' comment happens to be partially misleading. The album does not contain just "one exciting performance." Instead, it combines numbers taken from all of the above-mentioned live tapings, and also from studio ('overdub') dates. In what was a widespread practice across record labels operating at the time, Cavanaugh edited the album as if it contained one night's live performance. [Fortunately, one true and complete live performance from February 8 has been released, too: Peggy At Basin Street East, issued by Collectors' Choice in 2002.]
This long play entered Billboard's Best-Selling Pop LPs chart on the week of September 11, 1961 and thereby became Peggy Lee's 9th album entry. It peaked at #77 and spent 22 weeks in the chart. The album also elicited Lee's fourth consecutive Grammy nomination in the Best Solo Vocal, Female category.
In the album, each medley is counted as one track. In this discography, I have separately counted the songs from the album's medleys. Also, the album includes two tracks called "Peggy Lee Bow Music" that I have not incorporated to this discography's database because they are instrumentals.

NOTES:
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. 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 corroborating that they were correctly dated, I feel that his dating for the EP could actually be correct, and I have tentatively adopted it.

NOTES:
This jukebox EP Includes all the songs found in the LP counterpart of Blues Cross Country, except for "Fisherman's Wharf" and "The Train Blues."
Though they have the same size and look as 45-rpm singles, jukebox EPs such as this one ran at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs (and, thus, not the size of 45-rpm discs).

NOTES:
From "I Don't Know Enough About You" (recorded on December 26, 1945) to this date's "Hallelujah, I Love Him So", the twelve songs in the hits compilation Bewitching-Lee! spanned more than two decades. Released in July 1962, the album entered Billboard's album chart during the week of August 5, 1962, spent six weeks in that chart, and peaked at #85. Chronologically, it became the singer's 10th album entry (following the 1961 LP Basin Street East Proudly Presents Miss Peggy Lee) to enter the chart.

NOTES:
Though they look like 45-rpm singles, jukebox EPs such as this one ran at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs (and, thus, not the size of 45-rpm discs). Stereo was the only configuration used for them -- per the request of Seeburg and the other companies in whose jukebox machines these items were heard.
The present item, a "little LP" is actually a sub-category of jukebox EPs. They contain half the number of tracks on their LP counterparts (and four tracks less than the main category of jukebox EPs).
Sugar 'n' Spice (Sxa 1772) might be the earliest Peggy Lee little LP to be released. I should clarify why two other items do not (might not) qualify for the position of Lee's first little LP:
1) Blues Cross Country (cat. no. Xe-1671). The jukebox EP that preceded Sugar 'n' Spice contains ten instead of six tracks, and is thus not to be labeled a little LP.
2) Christmas Carousel (cat. no Sxa -1423). This jukebox EP has a total of six tracks, and is a "little LP." Furthermore, the 12" LP version of Christmas Carousel was released two years before both the LP and little LP versions of Sugar 'n' Spice. However, I have not been able to find the release date of the Christmas Carousel little LP anywhere except in a couple of sources that are not fully reliable. (One dates it 1960, the other 1963. Further details are given in thus page, under the notes for Sxa-1423, which I momentarily dated 1960 out of necessity. I harbor a suspicion that it was released in the mid-1960s.)

NOTES:
Released in coordination with the British branch of the French label Pathé.
The date is tentative. Its basis is a December 15 1962 Billboard issue in which Camay 3001 and Camay 3002 are advertised. It would thus be reasonably to infer that Camay 3003 was also issued very late in 1962 or otherwise early in 1963.
Camay re-released this album twice, and the dates for those reissues (1964, 1965) are also tentative. (The third issue shortened the LP's title to Peggy Lee.)

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's 12th album chart entry peaked at #18. After making its debut during the week of March 9, 1963, it spent 26 weeks in the chart. This album also gave Lee her six consecutive Grammy nomination in the category of Best Vocal Performance, Female.
The formats in which I'm A Woman was originally issued in the United States were LP (catalogue number T 1857 for mono, St 1857 for stereo) and jukebox EP (Sxa 1857). In 1977, the album was reissued on LP (catalogue number Sm 387). Also issued was an 8-track cartridge (M 1857), whose release date is unclear to me. Most likely, the date is 1977, but I lack confirmation on the matter. In any case, the 8-track cartridge was not one of the original (1963) issue formats.

NOTES:
Originally issued on LP by Brunswick (1963). Also mentioned above, the Teldec-Telefunken LP appears to be a reissue. It bears the same title as the Brunswick album but different artwork. Moreover, it is part of a series (Decca American Series). I do not have a release date for it, but I have seen 1966 dates for two of the other albums (Bing Crosby, Brenda Lee) in the same series There is also a 1991 CD issue on MCA (1991), released in both Germany and Australia. Finally, a Sonocord licensed CD reissue exists as well. It is part of that label's Star Portrait series (2005).

NOTES:
Though similar to 45-rpm singles in size and general look, jukebox EPs differ from them by running at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs -- not the size of 45-rpm discs. Still further, stereo was the only configuration used for jukebox EPs -- per the request of Seeburg and the other companies in whose jukebox machines these items were played. The little LP, the particular sub-category of jukebox EP to which the item under discussion belonged, consisted of one disc with three songs per side (at Capitol, at least).

NOTES:
Prepared for release long after Lee had left the label, Lover is not an original album, but neither is it a thoughtlessly assembled compilation. Almost none of its twelve numbers had appeared on 12" vinyl before 1964. (Most had come out on singles, a few on EP or on 10" LP.)
Lending cohesiveness to this record company project is the participation of conductor-arranger Gordon Jenkins on all chosen tracks. The tracks come from five sessions that had taken place within a one-year span: April 23, April 28/May 1, July 31, November 28, and December 16, 1952.
Lover was released in both mono and "hi-fi stereophonic" sound. The latter was Decca's name for its brand of simulated stereo.
The 1964 release date relies on the fact that Billboard reviewed the album on its February 8, 1964 issue. On the web, I have seen listings that instead give the year as 1963.

NOTES:
This album was issued by Decca in 1964, eight years after Peggy Lee had left the label. It collects numbers that had been previously released on singles, but which had not yet made it to LP. The exceptions are "Do I Love You?" (previously unissued) and "The Tavern" (originally released in the 10" LP Songs In An Intimate Style). The Fabulous Peggy Lee was released both in mono and in "hi-fi stereophonic," which was Decca's name for its brand of simulated stereo.
The 1964 release date relies on the fact that Billboard reviewed the album on its May 23, 1964 issue. Moreover, the preceding issue listed the album among the nation's "new releases." (On the web, I have seen listings that instead give the year as 1963. To judge from the Billboard mentions, such listing err by a year.)

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's 14th album chart entry spent six weeks in the chart and peaked at #97.
The 1974 version of this album describes itself as "Sy-4618, a special reissue ... a collector's item" and its series as "special collections of classic hit recordings by the brightest stars." False advertisement. It's actually a budget-looking release. Whereas its front cover is the same as in the original issue, the back cover is almost blank, missing the artwork and most of the the original's contents (liner notes, personnel details, list of previous albums). It includes just the track listing, the above-quoted description, its catalogue number and the basic copyright identification of the record company.

NOTES:
Notwithstanding the fact that it was a brand new Capitol release, In Love Again seems to have made its Aussie debut on EMI Australia's "Encore" reissue series. The fact that the Encore series was inaugurated in 1964, and was thus in its formative stage, could have been behind the rationale for the inclusion. (The same situation might have applied to albums from other artists, though I am not sure that any of them had been as recently released in the United States as this one. For instance, Encore #9151 is And Now In Person, a 1963 Jonah Jones album, and Encore #9153 is The Garland Touch, a 1962 album.) In Love Again! was the only brand new Peggy Lee album to see its Australian debut on this Encore series. Her next one, In The Name Of Love, does not appear to have been issued in Australia. Subsequent ones debuted on the main Australian branch (i.e., EMI Australia).

NOTES:
Though similar to 45-rpm singles in size and general look, jukebox EPs differ from them by running at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs -- not the size of 45-rpm discs. Still further, stereo was the only configuration used for jukebox EPs -- per the request of Seeburg and the other companies in whose jukebox machines these items were played. The little LP, the particular sub-category of jukebox EP to which the item under discussion belonged, consisted of one disc with three songs per side (at Capitol, at least).

NOTES:
Curiously, Joel Whitburn shows this album as entering Billboard's album chart on December 30, 1967, which is over two years after its original release. The fact that it is a seasonal release could account for its late entry in the chart; perhaps it went unnoticed during earlier holiday seasons. Happy Holiday peaked at #115 and became Peggy Lee's 17th album chart entry. (Her 16th entry was the album Big Spender, which was released in April 1966.)

NOTES:
Tentative entry: I have not auditioned this EP, and I do not have concrete specifics about the versions of the songs that it contains. I have seen pictures of the disc and the front cover, but neither one identifies the feature artist(s). The one helpful clue is the specification, found on the label of the disc, to the effect that it contains "music from the original score." I am thus speculating that it features songs from the movie's soundtrack. On that basis, I have not listed here the EP's fourth title, "Bella Notte," as it would be presumed to be sung by George Givot, not Peggy Lee.

NOTES:
Though similar to 45-rpm singles in size and general look, jukebox EPs differ from them by running at 33 revolutions per minute. Another difference: jukebox EPs have spindle holes that are of the same size as LPs -- not the size of 45-rpm discs. Still further, stereo was the only configuration used for jukebox EPs -- per the request of Seeburg and the other companies in whose jukebox machines these items were played. The little LP, the particular sub-category of jukebox EP to which the item under discussion belonged, consisted of one disc with three songs per side (at Capitol, at least).

A clarification about track listing and indexing. This album has 12 tracks. I have separately indexed the track "Good Times."

NOTES:
Because I have not listened to this LP, my take assignation is tentative in the case of a few numbers (especially but not exclusively, "Let's Do It" and "My Old Flame). Generally, I have opted for the master take. Eventually, the acquisition and aural inspection of a LP copy should determine if such educated guesses have been correctly made.

NOTES:
Released in 1967 and posing as an original album, the LP Extra Special! actually picked up songs that had been recorded earlier in the decade. As shown above, there are songs from each preceding year, except for 1964. All Extra Special! numbers had originally come out on singles, except for three that had never been issued before 1967, but which also stemmed from singles sessions: "The Shining Sea," "Oh! You Crazy Moon," and "Call Me Darling, Call Me Sweetheart, Call Me Dear."

NOTES:
I have not listened to the item under discussion. All four Peggy Lee tracks played by Willis Conover during this radio show are presumed to be the above-listed Capitol studio recordings (as opposed to new versions, sung for radio), but confirmation on this assumption is needed. Only one side of the vinyl features Peggy Lee. Three different artists are heard on the LP's other side (numbered GXTV 220590, and containing programs no. 53 A, B, C): The Cyrkle, The Tradewinds, and Jack Jones. It thus appears that a full half an hour show was dedicated to Lee (23:59, according to the vinyl's timing), whereas the other acts were featured in small segments (4:50). Although record dealers own and sell this LP separately these days, it is actually the first of a five-record set, whose radio shows run numerically from 53 to 57. My thanks to Reginald Bartlett for his very kind offer of pertinent information during the labor of researching this item.

NOTES:
All tracks on this compilation come from original Capitol LPs that were issued in both mono and stereo. My LP copy of Once More With Feeling bears catalogue number SPC-3090, with the S serving as indication that the album is in stereo.
Oddly, the front cover states that this LP has been "electronically enhanced for stereo." The same statement is found on Its physical label, too. Unless Pickwick hacked access to the stereo originals, there does not seem to be a good reason to apply simulated stereo to these tracks. Actually, I am not sure that any was applied. I suspect that Pickwick was just sloppy, inadvertently placing the "electronically enhanced for stereo" caveat on an album which had not undergone such process.
We can also find two catalogue numbers listed on the back cover, PC-3090 for monaural, SPC-3090 for stereo. Nevertheless, I have yet to see a mono copy. SPC-3090 was the catalogue number on ea ch of the dozens of copies that I have been able to inspect.

NOTES:
At Capitol during the 1960s, Peggy Lee usually released a minimum of two albums per year. The years 1967 and 1968 were exceptions. In 1968, one of the two albums (Two Shows Nightly) was left unreleased at the request of the singer herself.
Her other 1968 Capitol release was the present one. It does not consist of newly recorded numbers, however. Issued on the label's Star★Line series, this is actually a hits package.
Incidentally, it might have not been until the late 1960s or early 1970s that EMI and the music press began to refer to Starline (one single word) as a (sub-)label, rather than a series. This seems to have been primarily an European development. Overseas, some Capitol/EMI LPs from those years carry two catalogue numbers, one of which starts with an "Srs" prefix -- standing, apparently, for "Starline series." An example would be the 1973 Shirley Bassey LP In The Still Of The Night, which bears the catalogue numbers Srs 5001 and 1E 048 ○ 04195. Another would be the Pink Floyd's 1971 album Relics, whose catalogue numbers are Srs 5071 and IE 048 o 04775. Yet a third instance would be the 1973 EMI compilation LP Sinatra Sings Mercer, numbered both Srs 5167 and 0C 048 ◦ 81508.
The reason why I am spending some time clarifying my findings on this last subject matter: some online sites treat all of Peggy Lee's Star★Line issues as belonging to the just-described Starline sub-label. From my perspective, the only items that should be considered members of the sub-label are those which carry Srs catalogue numbers, as in the examples given on the previous paragraph. As for the specific case of Peggy Lee, I do not believe that any of her European LPs, cassette, or 45 carry that Srs prefix. In a nutshell: for the purposes of this Peggy Lee discography, the words "star line" applies only to a US Capitol series that bears such a title.
One of this album's tracks ("Mañana") is heard in electronically processed or simulated stereo. I believe all other tracks do use actual stereo.
According to the Capitol Label Discography, there is a 1969 re-pressing of The Hits Of Peggy Lee that misses one of the tracks from the 1968 original: "I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him." (Not having seen copies of the alleged item, I cannot confirm its existence, or the accuracy of the claim.)

NOTES:
As I have indicated in the note next to the title, this album is the British edition of the 1968 American package The Hits Of Peggy Lee. Whereas the American album has 11 tracks, this British edition includes five additions. The probable rationale behind the bonus tracks was that, in Great Britain, Lee was identified with those numbers.
During the LP era, The Best Of Peggy Lee may have been the most internationally disseminated hits package by Lee. This discography lists two other versions, one from Czechoslovakia (1988) and the other from Israel (date unknown). I do not doubt that there were others of which I am not yet aware. There was also a British reissue in 1983 in EMI's Music For Pleasure imprint, with the same title and no track alterations, but a slightly different cover and a different catalogue number (21141).

NOTES:
The first edition of Peggy Lee's autobiography includes a list of her singles and albums, compiled by Wayne Rankin. On the subject matter of Two Shows Nightly, Rankin indicates that it was recorded "live at the Copacabana, 1967." He further adds the following comment: "LP release was withdrawn by Miss Lee immediately after initial pressings, as the artist felt that sound reproduction was inconsistent with her usual high standards. Fewer than ten copies have been traced as in existence in private collections in the USA." Rankin gives valuable information in that quote and elsewhere, but it must be clarified that the recording date he assigned to Two Shows Nightly is erroneous. It should be 1968 instead of 1967.
Back in 1989, when Lee's autobiography was first published, Rankin knew of less than ten extant copies of this album. Nowadays, when we are well into the era of computerized access to information, there is awareness of many more extant copies. In the last ten years, I have come across over 15 copies, some of them sighted in US record stores and others in the internet, up for auction. I have also heard from 7 or 8 collectors, three of whom owned multiple album copies. In any case, chances are that the number of initially pressed copies was a pre-determined, standard amount -- certainly a number much higher than 10 or 15. (Incidentally, Rankin uses the plural when he makes his reference to "initial pressings" but I am more inclined to believe that there was no more than one pressing in the US.)
Capitol clearly had every intention to release Two Shows Nightly. A sure indication of the company's intent was the advance promotion that it did for the LP. Two of the album's tracks were included in The Capitol Disc Jockey Album: November 1968, which was a promotional LP sampler. Those samplers were sent to radio stations shortly before the 'street date' release of a new batch of albums. The record label had also assigned a precise release date to the album: November 4, 1968.
After that bit of advance promotion, Capitol's course of action is less clear. Was Two Shows Nightly actually sent to commercial stores, and then promptly recalled, or were no copies ever released commercially? I have found no evidence to back up the suggestion that the album arrived at stores in 1968. On the contrary, all U.S. copies known to me tellingly have the word "FREE" punched into the front cover's upper right corner. Such copies were usually promotional items sent out to music critics, disc jockeys and radio stations. I have also heard that additional copies (remainders) were eventually given, free of charge, to charity organizations such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army, but I do not know if such hearsay is based on fact or on speculation.
Years after its aborted release, the album was definitely being sold at one specific commercial store. I know of two record collectors who bought various copies therein. According to one of them: "in the mid-70s, the Olssen's record chain in DC was selling off (for 99 cents) a consignment of Capitol records, with free punched into the upper right corners. There were 5 or 6 copies of Two Shows Nightly, which mystified me since I'd never heard of the album and I was a big Peggy fan."
Over the years, many of those "free" copies have ended up in the hands of vendors, who have sold them at high, collectors-only prices. (One copy was once auctioned, through Goldmine magazine, for $1,500. Relatively more reasonable prices, ranging from $100 to $300, tend to be the norm.)
Lee's request to have the LP withdrawn was carried out in the United States, but not honored abroad. Copies manufactured in Australia (or New Zealand) are identical to those pressed in the United States, but do not carry the "free" sign. Copies from Japan are pressed in red vinyl, which was typical of Japanese LPs from the 1960s. Given the scarcity of such foreign copies, they too might have been limited to just one small pressing.

NOTES:
This set is an abbreviated reissue of the LPs Big Spender, A Natural Woman, and I'm A Woman. As can be seen above, 10 tracks were chosen from each of the albums, whose original versions contain 11 or 12 titles each. Peggy Lee was one of various acts whose earlier Capitol albums received a boxed, abridged 3-LP treatment in 1970. Others were The Lettermen, Guy Lombardo (Stcl 578), Al Martino (Stcl 572), Wayne Newton, and Buck Owens. There is also one item in the series (Stcl 575) that combines numbers from three different, though professionally related acts (Stan Kenton, June Christy, and The Four Freshmen).

NOTES:
This compilation contains the above-listed Peggy Lee tracks on one side, five Jack Jones tracks on the other side. It is one of 3 LPs similarly devised by MCA Special Markets, in cooperation with other record labels. (One of the other LPs feature The Supremes and Neil Diamond, another Roger Williams and Bert Kaempfert.) Though they often ended up at used record stores, all three albums were originally intended as in-store promotional items for the Colgate-Palmolive company. After accumulating 4 of the coupons found in the boxes and containers of the company's products, a customer could to exchange the coupons for the LP of their choice at participating supermarkets and drug chains.

NOTES:
This is a reissue of the 1960 album Latin Ala Lee!. Two songs from the original album were deleted. The original artwork was changed, too. Broadway Ala Lee was sold both as a stand-alone (catalogue number Sf 519) and as a twofer (catalogue number Sttb 517). The other album from the twofer is also a reissue, entitled The Folks Who Live On The Hill and presented in "duophonic" or electronically processed stereo (catalogue number Df 518).
Incidentally, the prefix of Broadway Ala Lee truly is Sf, not Df as some sources erroneously claim. As for Stbb, that prefix identifies all Capitol reissues in this twofer LP series.

NOTES:
Electronically processed stereo is heard in this 1970 Capitol album, which is an abridged reissue of The Man I Love. Two songs from the original LP were deleted, and the original artwork was also changed.
The Folks Who Live On The Hill can be found both as a stand-alone and as part of a double LP set. The catalogue number of the stand-alone is Df 518. The prefix's letter D refers to the so-called Duophonic process, which was Capitol's name for its own brand of mimicked stereo.
The catalogue number of the 2LP set is Sttb 517. This so-called set consists of just the two albums and the small adhesive sticker that precariously holds them together. Approximately 3" by 1", the sticker is placed around the albums' spines.
(As for the other LP in this 2LP set, Broadway Ala Lee is an abridged reissue of Latin Ala Lee!, another Peggy Lee original album. See notes under session dated August 13, 1959.)

NOTES:
Originally released in 1970. Some minor sources point to a 1972 reissue, but none of my sources corroborate this possibility. Issued in the Netherlands as CBS S 52866. On the matter of the track "That Did It, Marie" note that the first chorus of that master recording is missing from this Harmony issue -- presumably, a mistake on Harmony's part.

NOTES:
Make It With You was Peggy Lee's 20th album to enter Billboard's album chart. Its debut took place during the week of December 19, 1970. Spending just 2 weeks in the chart's top 200, it peaked at #194.
Make It With You was the last Peggy Lee album to make Billboard's album chart during her lifetime. While her subsequent albums did not chart, note that some of them earned other distinctions, such as Grammy nominations and, in one case (Mirrors), cult status.

Also typical of jukebox EPs is the rather devious marketing practice of listing all 12 tracks on their front cover, thereby rising the potential for confusion among modern-day sellers and customers.
Capitol Creative Products' logo is prominently featured on the the label of the vinyl disc, which also credits Capitol Records as the manufacturer. The releaser was not Capitol per se, however, but a licensee, which receives due credit on the album's back cover "[p]roduced by Capitol Records for Little LP's Unlimited, Northfield, Ill." Initially established in Illinois and subsequently moving to Connecticut, this licensee was in the business of supplying product for the jukebox market.
In their four years of existence (1970-1974), Little LP's Unlimited offered about 180 of these jukebox EPs, whose production was presumably based on patrons' demand. Precious few of them were Capitol items. From a cursory look at a nearly complete catalogue listing, I can mention five, from the following Capitol artists: Glen Campbell, Nat King Cole, Merle Haggard, Sonny James, and the only female in the bunch, Peggy Lee.
Typically, a Little LP's Unlimited EP will run at 33.3 r.p.m. and will bear the legend "stereo album" on its front cover. In the case of Peggy Lee's Greatest!, the so-called stereo is actually Capitol's duophonic process.

NOTES:
Capitol Creative Products put together the compilation Raindrops on behalf of Abbott Laboratories, a company that produced the sleeping drug Placidyl, which is advertised in the back cover. At Columbia Records, a Louis Armstrong special products album was also made on behalf of Abbott Laboratories and Placidyl. Most likely marketed as complimentary gifts, the recipients of those Armstrong and Lee albums were probably Placidyl customers.
Capitol and its branches released this Peggy Lee compilation twice. The two versions differ in some details, such as the artwork and the way that the label (on the vinyl) looks. Other details, including the album's title, track sequence, and catalogue number are identical.
In the version released by Capitol Special Markets, the label on the vinyl is yellow. The front cover recycles the photo used for the earlier LP A Natural Woman. The back cover features the track listing along with a very simple drawing of a flower, in black and white. There are no liner notes.
The original version of the album was issued by Capitol Creative Products. The photo in the front cover is a close shot of various branches, wet with rain, against a dark yellow background. This photo was taken at Mount of Olives, Jerusalem. As for the vinyl itself, it has a black label surrounded by a pink ring. Included in the back of the jacket is a face shot of Lee. That Lee shot is actually a small version of the photo that adorns the front cover of the album Make It With You. Also in the back of the Raindrops jacket: the track listing and brief but appreciative notes about the singer.

NOTES:
As of 2018, I have not seen a physical copy of this LP, nor do I have details about its track listing. I am thus only assuming that, like its 1971 European counterparts from EMI's Starline series, it misses one of the 12 tracks from the original US album.

NOTES:
Contains all but one of the numbers that Peggy Lee recorded with The Benny Goodman Orchestra. (The missing number is "Let's Say A Prayer.") Uses the master takes,with f a few exceptional cases in which an alternate take was picked instead. The aforementioned, infelicitously edited master of "That Did It Marie" is the one included.
The artwork that graces the cover of this LP originally appeared in the 78 album Benny Goodman And His Orchestra And Sextet; Vocals By Peggy Lee, released in 1948. Among the minor changes made for the inclusion of the drawing in CBS Sopj 22-23, the words Columbia Records were eliminated, or rather substituted with the title for the new album, Elmer's Tune, which is colored pink. Also, a pink spotlight shines big and bright near the bottom end of the clarinet.

NOTES:
Lee's very last original album for Capitol Records. In various interviews conducted decades after the release of the album, Lee lamented that it did not receive proper promotion and distribution in the United States -- a consequence, she asserted, of a new management shuffle at Capitol. Unconfirmed reports from other sources suggest that the album was prematurely withdrawn from Capitol's catalogue (perhaps because the singer's association with the label was about to end?). Still further, a Peggy Lee fan who has talked with former EMI employees in the United Kingdom asserts that "the bulk of the print of the original LP was dumped in Europe, the Netherlands to be precise, and was bought in its entirety by a department store chain and retailed for a ridiculous price, the equivalent of what was then US 50¢."
Those reports and Lee's own feelings notwithstanding, the album did receive promotion. An ad placed in Billboard magazine was presumably paid by the record company. The ad showed a photo of the LP's front jacket and, under the photo, the legend "Norma Deloris Egstrom From Jamestown, North Dakota Has Recorded Her Greatest Album, ST-11007." Furthermore, Capitol issued one single from Norma Deloris, an action that qualifies as (indirect) promotion of the LP. The fact that copies of this 1972 piece are found at used record stores might also be deemed an indication that the album received a certain amount of distribution, too, however minimal it might (or have not) been.
Additionally, the album did chart -- barely, but it did. At Cashbox, it spent two weeks on the Top 100 Albums, 101 to 150 chart, peaking at #147 on the September 2, 1972 issue. At Billboard, it spent five weeks in the Bubbling Under the Top LP's chart, staying at its #203 peak for three issues (September 2 to 16, 1972).
Perhaps the record company did not keep Lee well-informed of the promotional steps which were undertaken. Or maybe she simply wasn't happy with the amount of promotion that the album received. Perhaps her real objection pertained not so much to promotion and distribution as it did to the company's alleged withdrawal of the LP.
Sales could have also been hurt by the omission of Lee's professional name from both the ad and the album's jacket. Some potential buyers might have not readily identified the singer as Peggy Lee. (Her professional name appears only inside, on the vinyl.)
At any rate, the points made above prove that Capitol did took promotional steps on behalf of Lee's last album for the company. They also suggest that, up until this corporate shuffle, the record company still thought of Lee as an artist whose product was worth advertising.
On a different note, the cassette edition of this album is known to have been released in Australia. So far, I have found no evidence of release in the USA or in any other country.

NOTES:
In the Netherlands, this album went through various reissues. The above-given release date (1973) might or might not belong to the debut edition; I have not been able to locate specifics on this matter. One of the reissues of Portrait Of Peggy Lee came out in 1975 (or thereabouts); that 1975 reissue carries the same tracks and the same catalogue number but a different front cover and a different title (The Peggy Lee Collection). In Australia, this compilation was issued in 1973 as part of EMI's Encore series -- same title and tracks, different artwork.

Not the full track listing; only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed. The issue date should be considered a very tentative guess. The album's front cover reads "mono-stereo '73." My assumption that '73 stands for the release year could be wrong.

NOTES:
An attractively designed anthology. As suggested above, each LP or tape bears its own numbers. The 7th LP and its cassette counterpart bear an additional F in the catalogue numbers: Smf 297 instead of just Sm 297 (LP) and just Csmf 297 instead of Tccsmf 297 (cassette). The fact that these 7th parts are both titled Bing & Friends probably accounts for the additional letter. Originally came with a printed letter signed by Crosby.

NOTES:
A reissue of Rendezvous With Peggy Lee, to which five bonus tracks have been added. Since I have not listened to this album, my identification of the take of "My Main" as the master is tentative. (It could instead be the commercially issued alternate take.)

NOTES:
This issue is the same one as the British 1973 LP of the same title, but contains 12 instead of 16 tracks, and has a different cover. In Australia, the album was issued as part of EMI's regular, so-called "Encore" series, and also part of the "Drum" series. The exact release year of each Australian issues remains unclear to me, but at least one of them, if not both, falls within the 1974-1975 bracket.

NOTES:
A double album that otherwise contains instrumentals, Solid Gold Instrumental Hits curiously includes Peggy Lee's vocal of "My Little Cousin." A plausible explanation for the inclusion is the undeniable catchiness of the melody, which was taken from a Yiddish original.

NOTES:
Since I have not listened to this LP, my identification of its "Fever" track as the stereo version is tentative. The only reasoning behind my choice of the rarer stereo over the customary mono is the item's insistence (on the front cover and on the vinyl label) that its contents are in stereo. Note also that the release date is likely to be correct but still in need of more solid confirmation.

NOTES:
Judging from the fact that the LP was reissued at least twice, this compilation appears to be the most commonly released Peggy Lee item in Dutch land. It belonged to a "Greatest Hits" series, from which the Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra volumes are shown on the back cover. Unlike those other two, the Peggy Lee volume specifies the 16-track total in its title. I have seen other artists' albums which carry the title 15 Greatest Hits. (The Cole and Sinatra volumes are gatefold 2LP albums, each volume consisting of 28 tracks.)

NOTES:
The Golden Double series consisted of at least 14 albums, each by a different artist, from Frank Sinatra and Julie London through Ike and Tina Turner to Adamo and Gilbert Becaud. This Peggy Lee issue includes a 6-page booklet, featuring mostly lyrics. The release year provided above (1976) should be deemed tentative; it is based on the corroborated date of another album in the series.

NOTES:
There is also a 1988 Japanese CD entitled Peggy Lee ("Best Now / Best 20" Series). That CD and this LP share the same title and the same front cover, but their respective track listings are different -- only about five songs are common to both issues -- and only the CD belongs to the "Best Now" series.

NOTES:
My thanks to Theo Andriessen for supplying extensive details about this 2LP set, of which I do now own a copy. One LP is entirely dedicated to Peggy Lee, the other to Al Jolson. Lee does not participate in Jolson's portion of the set, nor is he heard in any of the numbers performed by her. Besides the Lee and Jolson tracks, there is a tenth and final number in the LP, "Waltz In Swingtime." That track is actually an instrumental from one of the radio shows in which Peggy Lee guested with then-husband Dave Barbour, and is thus excluded from the listing above.
It should be noted in passing that the album's track listing contains numerous misspellings and inaccuracies. For instance, "Sunshine Cake" is misidentified as "Sunshine Lake" on the back cover, and as "Sunshine Kake" in the vinyl's label. The title "Way Back Home" is lengthened to "When I'm Back Home," while the title "A Thousand Violins" is shortened to "1,000 Violins." Instead of "You Was Right," the track lister would have us believe that Lee sings a number called "You'll Right Baby."
The mistakes extend to the photographic choices found in the front cover. Supposedly Al Jolson, the man photographed in blackface is instead impersonating actor Larry Parks, seen as he appeared in some scenes of the movie The Jolson Story. As for the photo of Peggy Lee, it shows 'the real deal,' though it is a picture taken more than two decades after the numbers that she sings in the album. It must also be mentioned that Bing Crosby is not credited anywhere, despite the fact that three of the tracks ("Sunshine Cake," "A Thousand Violins," " 'Way Back Home") are Crosby-Lee duets, not to say anything of about five Crosby-Jolson tracks.
But the strengths of this set are as noteworthy as its flaws. The radio performances that it contains were indeed rare at the time of the album's release, and to this day many of them still remain in obscurity.
As a discographer, I am particularly thankful for various track details given in the album's back cover. Particularly helpful was the specification of dates, which allowed me to identify most of the numbers. On that point, I should clarify that the identification of two of this set's ten performances is tentative: "Laroo Lilli Bolero" and "Can't Help Lovin' That Man." I will provide explanations below. Given the tentativeness of my decisions about these two tracks, readers should just bear in mind that additions and/or modifications might be provided in the future, if more data is forthcoming.
In the case of "Laroo Lilli Bolero," the date given in the album (July 7, 1948) does not correspond to any of the versions that I have tracked down. One of those versions is chronologically close to the album's version: a version broadcast during a March 24,1948 episode of Jimmy Durante's show and re-used by the Armed Forces Radio Service on a transcription disc dated July 11, 1948. Hoping that perhaps the Biac album has another error (this time, a dating error), I have tentatively identified the set's "Laroo Lilli Bolero" as the one heard on the AFRS disc.
For "Can't Help Lovin' That Man," the album gives its year as 1949, but does not specify the month, nor the day. Before she sings the number, Peggy Lee is heard describing it as follows: "here's a song Helen Morgan introduced in Show Boat. Remember?" At the present time, I am aware of three radio performances of the song, all of them from Chesterfield's Supper Club and all of them broadcast in 1949. Only the first of the three performances (January 20, 1949) is known to have been introduced by Lee with a mention of Helen Morgan. Unfortunately, her wording is different -- and move extensive -- than in the album. It may thus be that the album's performance is from a radio show of which I am not yet aware. Alternatively, it could be the exact same performance heard in the January 20, 1949 show, re-used by AFRS on one of its transcription discs (with a different, shortened introduction newly supplied by Lee). Other possibilities would also be valid, of course. But, for the time being, I have chosen to identify the album's performance as the one from January 20, 1949.

NOTES:
This live album finally made its CD debut in late 2015, as part of the Universal boxed set Live In London. Before 2015, nine of its sixteen tracks had never appeared on compact disc. Among the nonet were rare numbers which were not part of Lee's studio albums, either -- numbers such as "Dreams Of Summer," "You Got To Know How," and "Everything Must Change."
The catalogue number of this LP begins with the word "super," which I do not know to be part of the cassette version. (n.b.: 3170 448 is the number of the cassette; 2383 448 is the number of the LP.)

NOTES:
In the United States, the Polydor album Live In London was briefly released by Mercury in this abbreviated, 10-track version.
Mercury's files actually list the album as canceled. It presumably was, though not before some copies made it to a few chain stores. In fact, Peggy Lee fan and collector Wayne Brasler reports that he bought the Mercury edition of the LP in the late 1970s at a store in Chicago (either Sam Goody's or Montgomery Ward, he recalls). Brasler has also kindly shared with me a scan of the album's front and back covers, which are essentially identical to the Polydor original.
The differences between the two editions of the album pertain to the number and sequencing of the tracks. The Mercury LP includes just 10 songs. On side A, both the Polydor and the Mercury editions start and finish with the same songs: "Love For Sale" and "Everything Must Change" (tracks #1 and #2), "The Folks Who Live On The Hill" and "Touch Me In The Morning" (tracks #4 and #5). But the central portion of the two editions differ. The Mercury LP has inserted "Fever" in the middle of side A; in the Polydor version, "Fever" is the first track on side B.
On side B, the Mercury edition offers the following five numbers: "Mack The Knife," "Is That All There Is?," "Make Believe," "Dreams of Summer," and "Here's To You."
The back cover of the Mercury LP states that it is "[a]lso available on Musicassette and Stereo 8 Track Tapes: MCR-4-1-1172, MC-8-1172." I do not know if, before its cancellation, the album actually came out in those configurations.
The Canadian version of the album follows the same track listing as the Mercury version. It is on Polydor; its catalogue number is 2482 415.
The album versions on American Mercury and Canadian Polydor thus contain only 10 of the 16 original tracks. The following six songs were omitted: "You Got To Know How," "I Don't Want To Play In Your Yard," "Have A Good Time," "Why Don't You Do Right," "Sing A Rainbow" and "Mr. Wonderful."

NOTES:
Before 2015, five of these masters had yet to make their debut on compact disc ("Here Now," "I Go To Rio," "Courage, Madam," "Switchin' Channels," and "Just for Tonight") ; the other seven had appeared in a 1993 anthology entitled You Give Me Fever. The album finally made its digital debut as part of the Universal boxed set Live In London, with all twelve songs included (although two are worthwhile alternate takes).
The catalogue number of the Polydor LP Peggy begins with the word "super," which I do not know to be part of the cassette version. (n.b. : 3170 458 is the number of the cassette; Super 2383 458 is the number of the LP.)

Listed above is not the full track program but just the selections in which Peggy Lee is featured. All but one of her numbers from the February 11, 1948 episode of Bing Crosby's show are included. The omitted number is "Summertime" (a duet with Crosby). The sound quality of this LP is not good, unfortunately. The source presumably being a fan's taping of the original show, the speed needed correction. A is typical in such situation, the female singer sounds like Minnie Mouses on helium.

NOTES:
The above-shown track listing has been corroborated for the "Elegidos" LP only. If online sellers are to be trusted, the "Personalidades" LP contains the exact same track listing and has the exact same catalogue number. Corroboration has not been forthcoming.
I am considering the possibility that there was no such thing as a "personalidades" release. I have only seen one LP copy with that title; all others use "elegidos" instead. In that sole copy, the label "personalidades" seems to have been affixed, in the form of a sticker. The sticker is located exactly where the other copies have the word "elegidos." (I am referring to the copy's front cover. I did not see its back, nor have I seen the disc itself.)
Another conceivable possibility would be that the series met with legal objections (or complaints from another label), on account of its name of choice. In that scenario, Capitol would have released just a few album copies with the problematic name, before shifting to the more acceptable one.

NOTES:
The LP version of this item belongs to the "CBS Favourite Jazz" series and was the format released in 1979. The CD version belongs to Sony's "Enchantment Of Jazz Vocal" series and was issued in 1986. That 1986 edition is in contention as the earliest Peggy Lee compact disc to ever be released, anywhere in the world. (However, the year of release needs further confirmation. Since I do not own a copy of the CD, I have relied on information found online.)
Notice that there is also a later CD edition of this same issue. It is dated 2002 and it expands the track listing from 16 to 24 numbers. To see and further compare all three editions, consult part VIII of this discography's pictorial page for Peggy Lee's Columbia Collaborations With Benny Goodman
Potential buyers should beware of an error disseminated through many commercial websites: a confusion of this album with another one also titled Portrait Of Peggy Lee from the Public Domain label Gallerie, viewable here. See additional commentary under that title.

NOTES:
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 titled Miss Peggy Lee (not The Life Story Of Peggy Lee). In reality, it was Lee's 1979 souvenir tour book. Since its front picture happens to be the same one used for the cover of Close Enough For Love, cross-marketing it with the album struck Fordin as a logical idea. (It certainly was.)
The contents of this 12" by 9" souvenir book are as follows: color photos of the singer (just 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; a list of her original American LPs up to 1975; some acknowledgments; and 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.).
(The album was originally released not only on LP but also on cassette and, cording to music guides, 8-track cartridge. I have not yet found corroboration of the latter's existence.)

NOTES:
Because I have not actually listened to the album, this is a tentative entry. If the album truly is a movie soundtrack (as alleged by its subtitle), 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." Those would be her only 3 vocals herein. 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 titles to be sung by her.
Please notice that there is an earlier edition of Disneyland LP Dq 1231 which features a different cover (Lady and The Tramp smilingly facing one another and standing on the ground, with a rainbow of interconnected circles behind them) and which definitely does not include any Lee vocals. In that album, a vocalist named Teri York sings the Lee vocals. (Such could of course be the case for the 1979 edition under discussion, too. I would appreciate receiving confirmation or denial from owners of the 1979 album.) The earlier LP seems to date back to 1962, although (reissue?) copies with 1964 and 1965 release dates can apparently be found as well.

NOTES:
This picture disc combines songs from the Disney movie soundtrack with songs from the Decca "original cast" album.
The entire first side is sung by Peggy Lee. "Peace On Earth / Silent Night" and "La La Lu" are the versions from her Decca album -- not the soundtrack versions. Transferred from the soundtrack, "He's A Tramp" actually includes the movie's opening to the song, as well as the ensuing spoken bits uttered by The Pound Hounds.
The second side does not feature Lee at all. It offers the soundtrack versions of "What Is A Baby?" and "Bella Notte," which were written by Lee but are not sung by her in the film.

NOTES:
Not the full track listing; only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed. In Russ Connor's authoritative bio-discography of Benny Goodman, this LP's version of "How Long Has This Been Going On?" is identified as a previously unissued take. However, after two Peggy Lee listeners (the late Bill Brooks, Jarl Ingves) closely listened and detected no differences with the more commonly issued take #1, various Goodman experts proceeded to weigh on the matter. It is now generally agreed that Connor's earlier atribution was erroneous.

NOTES:
Extensive liner notes in Portuguese, by Luiz Carlos Antunes. Manufactured and distributed by EMI-Odeon. I have not seen a physical copy of this album. Online, I caught an entry for this album in which an entirely different catalogue number (597.093) is given. I do not know the basis for that number. Mine relies on my inspection of a scan of the label on the vinyl disc.

NOTES:
For the last two selections (originally part of a medley), some of Crosby's banter with Oscar Levant has been kept. The Crosby solo "You Are Too Beautiful"is erroneously listed as a duet with Peggy Lee, whereas an actual duet, "Exactly Like You," is not idnetified as such. Listed above is not the full track listing but only the tracks that featuring Peggy Lee.

NOTES:
The LP Close Enough For Love was released in its "regular" version first (1979) and, years later, in a 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.
I do not own a copy of this dvx edition. It is my understanding that it carries the date of the original edition (1979), despite having been issued some time afterwards. The above-given release year is approximate. It is based on a brief article that appeared on the December 13, 1980 issue of Billboard magazine. The article announces that this album "will be released on dbx-encoded disks."

NOTES:
One of two LPs dedicated exclusively to Lee's MacGregor transcription recordings. (The title of the other one is September In The Rain, originally released at an unknown date, possibly in the 1950s, and re-released on December 25, 1998. There is also a cassette, entitled I've Had My Moments, released in 1987.)
This Glendale LP includes nearly the entire MacGregor output (14 out of 17 titles). It identifies all selections as "released for the first time. Material licensed from the archives of C. P. MacGregor Library." The claim that this is the first release of Lee's MacGregor transcriptions seems to be inaccurate; a more accurate claim might have ben that this was the first official release of them.

NOTES:
As shown above, this British item has been reissued numerous times. Titles vary from The Best Of Peggy Lee to just Peggy Lee ("Golden Greats"), but the the tracks of all those British editions are the same. Notice that the CD version was released later than the other formats (in 1991).
Various details suggest that these British versions should be deemed variations on an American album that has itself been reissued many times: Decca's The Best Of Peggy Lee (Dxb 164), a 2LP set first released in 1960. Common to all American and British LPs entitled The Best Of Peggy Lee is the same front cover photo, albeit the budget-looking British issues offer the photo in b&w, rather than in the full color of the American issues. (As for the "Golden Greats" titles, they use a different artwork.)
Also common to American and British titles are 11 of the above-listed 16 tracks. The handful of tracks not found in the American item are "He's A Tramp," "Just One Of Those Things," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "Love You Didn't Do Right By Me," and "Easy Living."

NOTES:
A reissue of a reissue. This 1983 British issue on EMI's Music For Pleasure is a reissue of a 1968 British Best Of on EMI, which is in turn a foreign edition of the 1968 American album The Hits Of Peggy Lee. The 1968 and 1983 British covers differ only in the color of the stripe to the left of the photo: blue (1968) or red (1983). As for the cover of The Hits Of Peggy Lee, it is entirely different.

NOTES:
The 1983 release date applies to the LP only. The CD first came out in 1990; it seems to have been reprinted in some subsequent years. Since I do not own a copy of either the LP or the CD, my main dating sources for this particular reissue have been music guides. It seems that LP copies do not actually include the actual date of release but opt instead to inform consumers that the contents were produced "pre-1958."

NOTES:
In early editions of this discography, I incorrectly listed a total of 13 tracks for this British reissue, the 13th number being "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face." The error stemmed from my consultation of music price guides that listed that track total. As someone who now owns a copy of the Jasmine LP (and at a time when the web provides ample photographic evidence), I can categorically assert that the total is 12, with no "I've Grown Accustomed To His Face" included.

Also released, as least on cassette, in Malaysia, with catalogue number Tc Src 008.

NOTES:
Note: Nostalgia and Retrospect were sister series, one from great Britain's EMI and the other from France's Pathé Marconi. At least three Peggy Lee albums were released in both series. Since the information at my reach is incomplete, it is still possible that many of the other albums in either one or the other series are dual releases, too. The idea for these reissue series originated with Pathé Marconi. At the present time, and while hoping for additional information to turn up, I am listing all issues (those in the French and those in the British series) under Pathé Marconi.

NOTES:
Reissued in 2004 under the same title, on the label Sounds of Yesteryear. Not the full track listing; only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed. Album producer Christopher A. Pirie's note: Why Don't You Do Right and I Love A Piano contain brief eriods of distortion caused by cross-over scrolling ("spiralling" in U.S.A. terminology) being used in th cutiing of the original master: a process which proved disastrous after a few playing which were to wear out the point of cross-over. That apart, some very listenable music which I trust will satisfy hungry collectors."

NOTES:
Aimed at adult listeners of classic pop music, Time-Life's "Legendary Singers" series consisted of about 18 boxes numbered as follows: (1) Nat King Cole, (2) Frank Sinatra, (3) Ella Fitzgerald, (4) Perry Como, (5) Lena Horne, (6) Bing Crosby, (7) Peggy Lee, (8) Johnny Mathis, (9) Sarah Vaughan, (10) Tony Bennett, (11) Andy Williams, (12) Judy Garland, (13) Mel Tormé, (14) Jo Stafford, (15) Nat King Cole [second Cole issue in the series], (16) Rosemary Clooney, (17) Harry Belafonte, and (18) Dionne Warwick.
Before the CD era, the Peggy Lee volume of this series was an important item for completists. It included two songs that, before 1985, had never been issued: "Deep Purple" and "Make Believe." Also among the volume's 22 tracks were a few picks that would have been considered fairly obscure at the time -- most notably, "Bye, Bye, Blues" and "By The Time I Get To Phoenix." Furthermore, it was probably the first Peggy Lee LP to feature "Fever" in stereo, rather than in mono as had been the norm. (The stereo version had previously appeared on EP, on 45-rpm single, and on a various-artists LP, but not on a Peggy Lee LP.) Gene Lees was the author of the set's informative notes, and might have also been responsible for the felicitous track selection.

NOTES:
I have highlighted this issue because it includes some notable radio performances. It was also the earliest commercial release of any songs from Peggy Lee's World transcription output. Its sound quality is just average.
This issue is sometimes listed under the title With Dave Barbour & Billy May Bands, 1948, too. Notice that the 1985 release date seems to apply to the LP and cassette only; the earliest release date which I have found for the CD is 1994.

NOTES:
This unauthorized issue combines the Peggy Lee-Woody Herman tracks that had appeared in the 1984 British album Easy Listening (Artistic Records) with 10 of the 12 numbers from the Capitol 12" LP edition of Rendezvous With Peggy Lee. (Left out were " 'Deed I Do" and "Don't Smoke In Bed".) Taken from a Lee appearance in the United Kingdom in 1984, the photo that graces the front cover is chronologically at odds with the young (and young-sounding) Lee iofthe album's selections.
Deja Vu Records from before the mid-1990s include the legends "printed in Italy" and "distribuzione durium" in their back covers. Later issues tend to identify their location as the ECC, though they have been identified as originating in the UK.

John Scott Trotter And His Orchestra (acc), Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee (v)
NOTES:
This issue, officially sanctioned by the Crosby estate and drawn from Crosby's own private tape library, was the premier commercial release of "On A Slow Boat To China." Over the ensuing decades, numerous Public Domain companies have gone on to appropriate the track (and most of the other tracks, too).
As suggested by the title, there is more than one volume of The Radio Years. Each of the 4 volumes features the same artwork on its front cover but has a distinctive coloring as backdrop. In the particular case of volume 2, each format or configuration also shows a slight variation in color: red for the vinyl, orange for the 8-track cartridge, and pink for the cassette. Notice also that all 4 volumes were reissued on 2 CDs in 1987.
In addition to the duet itself, this LP's transfer includes the original broadcast's banter between Crosby and Lee, which preceded the performance. The track listing also features Crosby's solo rendition of a Peggy Lee lyric, "It's A Good Day."

NOTES:
This issue, officially sanctioned by the Crosby estate and drawing from Crosby's own private tape library, was the premier commercial release of "Cuánto Le Gusta." Over the ensuing decades, numerous Public Domain companies have gone on to appropriate this track (as well as most of the others).
As suggested by the title, there is more than one volume of The Radio Years. Each of the 4 volumes features the same artwork on its front cover but has a distinctive coloring as backdrop. In the case of this particular volume, the coloring is black. Notice also that all 4 volumes were reissued on 2 CDs in 1987.
I have confirmation for the issuing of this item on LP and cassette. The claim that it was also issued on 8-track cartridge should be deemed tentative, because I have found no confirmation yet. The claim is based on my awareness that other volumes in the series exist in the 8-track configuration.

NOTES:
On the back cover, the track listing wrongly states that "Four Brothers" is the 20th number. That is incorrect; "Four Brothers" is not heard at all on this LP. The 20th and last track is "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," which the issue fails to list at all.

NOTES:
According to some music guides, this Sounds Rare LP's release year is 1989. That's incorrect information. The LP's back cover clearly gives the date as 1986. The year 1989 actually belongs to its reissue on LP, cassette, and CD, from another label (Jasmine).
Sounds Rare was, incidentally, one of various labels distributed and/or owned by Legend. Hence this album’s label is sometimes identified as Legend, instead of Sounds Rare.
In addition to the titles listed above, If I Could Be With You contains three other tracks: an announcer's introduction and two instrumentals by one of the guests, Benny Goodman.
This issue consists of a couple of episodes from radio programs hosted by Peggy Lee: an episode from The Peggy Lee Rexall Show (1951) and an episode from Club 88; The Peggy Lee Show (1952).
The Rexall episode was transferred from the actual, original CBS-radio broadcast.
The Club 88 episode was, on the other hand, transferred from a 1953 re-broadcast on the Armed Forces Radio network. AFRS re-broadcasts did not include the full original contents of the episodes: promotional spots, chatter, and even songs were variously edited out.
The closing track, "It's A Good Day," was presumably heard in all or at least most of the Club 88 episodes. It can indeed be heard in the 1993 Jazz Band CD Live: 1947 & 1952, which contains additional Club 88 episodes (all of them in their edited AFRS network versions). Since it was apparently used in each episode, this version of “It’s A Good Day” seems to be have been pre-recorded during the early days of the show, and inserted on each broadcast episode. (Its recording date is unknown to me. For the purposes of this discography's date-based indexes, I have arbitrarily assigned it the same date as that of the last episode heard in the Jazz Band CD.)

NOTES:
Nostalgia and Retrospect were sister series, one from Great Britain's EMI and the other from France's Pathé Marconi. At least three Peggy Lee albums were released in both series. Since the information at my reach is incomplete, it is still possible that many of the other albums in either one or the other series are dual releases, too. The idea for these reissue series originated with Pathé Marconi. At the present time, and while hoping for additional information to turn up, I am listing all issues (those in the French and those in the British series) under Pathé Marconi.

NOTES:
The credits in this issue read "licensed by JTV-FL - A Sarabandas Product .... Made in Italy." JTV probably stands for the bootleg label Joker Tonverlag. In this discography, all issues that bear credits to "Promo Sound," "The Entertainers," "Joker," "Joker International," or "Joker Tonverlag" have been listed under that last company's name. According to Lucas Tuinstra (a friend, fellow fan of Peggy Lee, and knowledgeable music fan), "the Swiss company Joker Tonverlag AG [was behind] various labels of which The Entertainers is the most well known and they would often distribute their product via Italy which would then find its way to the rest of the world. Much of their product was on the border of legal and illegal, but with their way of distribution they got away with most of their releases. In the retailers' database, their product could only be traced by the company's name, Joker Tonverlag AG, and never by the label." See also this compilation's digital version, the 1990 CD Why Don't You Do Right ("The Entertainers" Series) (label: Promo), and a 1986 sampler of sorts, titled The Entertainers (label: Lotus).

NOTES:
This 3LP set dedicates one side to each of the six above-listed singers. All six sides contain eight tracks. The set actually qualifies as a a sampler from albums that were part of Joker Tonverlag's "The Entertainers" series. Joker Tonverlag was a Swiss bootleg label active in the mid-1980s, and said to have branched or morphed into many other labels. The eight Peggy Lee tracks on this Lotus LP are indeed the exact same eight found on the first side of the Joker Tonverlag album Peggy Lee ("The Entertainers" Series). They are even sequenced in the exact same order. Besides country of manufacturing (Italy in both cases), title, track and track sequence, the two LPs share the same release year. A small photo of Peggy Lee on the front cover of this Lotus album is presented in full LP size on the Joker Tonverlag album.

NOTES:
Not the full track listing; only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed. Terrible sound quality: the tracks need speed correction. As is usually the case when tracks are sped up, the album's female voices suffer the greatest distortion. Lee sounds like a Minnie Mouse on helium. Reissued on CD by Sounds Of Yesteryear in 2007, under the title Remember, and also suffering from distortion. Prospective buyers interested in this Lee-Lund duet are advised to track down instead Sound of Yesteryear's 2011 CD The Complete AFRS Benny Goodman Shows, Volume Five, which contains not only the duet but also an additional solo vocal by Lee. I do not yet have my own copy, but I am tentatively recommending it because online samples suggest that Sound of Yesteryear corrected the pitch distortion.

NOTES:
I have checked the back cover of Unforgettable's CD edition, and corroborated that it bears a 1987 copyright date. Unforgettable is thus in the running for earliest Peggy Lee CD ever released. Also in the running are Sony's A Portrait Of Peggy Lee, 1941-1942 (possibly, not certainly, 1986), Pigeon's Latin! (1987), and Joker Tonverlag's Why Don't You Do Right (1987). These are all foreign issues. The earliest USA Peggy Lee CDs of which I am aware date from 1988.

NOTES:
This 1988 Czech album is an abridged reissue of a 1968 British Best Of on EMI, which is in turn a foreign edition of the 1968 American album The Hits Of Peggy Lee. The two missing tracks are "I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him" and "Why Don't You Do Right?." I have placed the code www~ next to Suphraphon because I am assuming that this Czech (mostly classical) label licensed the tracks from EMI, but I do not count with any corroboration for my assumption.

NOTES:
Note: Nostalgia and Retrospect were sister series, one from Great Britain's EMI and the other from France's Pathé Marconi. At least three Peggy Lee albums were released in both series, including this one. The French edition bears a 1987 date; music guides give a 1988 date to the British pressing -- with one source adding March as the release month. In cassette format, I have found listings for a British issue only. (Only listings, not corroborating pictures.)
Since the information at my reach is incomplete, it is still possible that many of the other albums in either one or the other series are dual releases, too. The idea for these reissue series originated with Pathé Marconi. At the present time, and while hoping for additional information to turn up, I am listing all issues (those in the French and those in the British series) under Pathé Marconi.

NOTES:
The release date is 1988 for all formats, including the CD. However, I have yet to find traces of the existence of CD EMS 1294. While it is listed on the back cover of the LP and in music guides, no actual copies seem to pop up anywhere. It is instead the later 1999 CD (CDP 7 90552) which shows up consistently. Reissued in Australia on the Axis label, with catalogue number 5 0999 701739 4 9.

NOTES:
This is a straight reissue of the 1988 British EMI issue that bears the same title. The track listing and the front cover artwork are also the same.The year 1988 is a production date, and there is no other date on this reissue. It might have been actually released on a later year. I have seen this Axis reissue only on cassette and vinyl formats. There could also be a CD counterpart on Axis, but so far I have found no evidence of its existence. Instead, the digital counterpart of this Axis LP & cassette seem to be a 2003 Australasian EMI CD simply titled The Best Of Peggy Lee (07777 905522 7).

NOTES:
About The Album's Title
This album actually has two valid titles: Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues and, more simply, Peggy Sings The Blues. The reason why both titles are valid is that they are jointly used in most configurations of the album. In the case of the cassette tape and the compact disc, Peggy Sings The Blues appears in the front covers, whereas Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues is the title printed inside, in the actual CD and CS. Only the LP sticks to the title Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues both in the front cover and in the vinyl itself. (As for the spine of the cassette, it uses the Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues variant.)
About The Recording Date
The exact recording dates for this album's performances remain unknown. The above-shown dating (January 29, 1988) is actually an approximation, to which I have resorted for indexing purposes. The precise date of all twelve performances falls between late January and early February 1988, but the exact dates remain unknown.
About The Release Date
The compact disc edition of Peggy Sings The Blues was originally released in November 1988 or a bit earlier, as proven by articles that were published that year, and which specifically review the album in its digital configuration. (Those reviews do not mention the LP or the cassette, but I believe that all three configurations were simultaneous released.) I do have an entry, needing further corroboration, in which the issue is listed as released in September 1988.
However, the CD is given a 1989 release date in some record guides. Most likely, those guides are pointing to the European edition of this album, which was indeed released in 1989. (Another possibility is that 1989 is, after all, the correct date. Since November 1988 is close enough to 1989, it could be that reviewers had received promotional copies well in advance of the album's release, and that they proceeded to review them before the CD came out. Such a possibility strikes me as unlikely, though -- particularly from a promotional perspective.)
The album went to a second pressing some time in 1992 or 1993, too.
In any case, I have chosen to give a 1988 date to the original release. 1988 is the copyright and sound recording copyright year given in all configurations of the album.
Reissues And Cover Artwork
MusicMasters' Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues has gone through a fair amount of pressings and reissues. MusicMasters' sister label, Jazz Heritage, reissued the album in 2002, in superior sound quality. Back in 1990, MusicMasters' parent company, Musical Heritage, also reissued the album, in two configurations (CD and cassette).
Re-pressings
A new catalogue number was assigned to MusicMasters' own 1992 re-pressing of the original 1988 album.
There has also been at least one licensee's pressing, which bears two catalogue numbers. The first of the two numbers is among those listed above (5005-2-C). The other catalogue number, D 143661, is accompanied by the legend "Mfd. for BMG Direct Marketing, Inc. under License," etc.
In a record guide, I have come across yet another catalogue number (820809) for the MusicMasters CD. This number is linked to S&R, which I presume to be another licensee, or perhaps a distributor.
Although those are the only pressings of which I am fully aware, I do not discard the possibility of others, which could bear entirely different catalogue numbers.
Foreign Versions
Of course, there have also been non-USA pressings of Miss Peggy Lee Sings The Blues, on labels such as Limelight, Polygram, and Phonogram. For a listing of those, consult this discography's Miscellanea section, specifically this page and this page.

NOTES:
Conceived in commemoration of her 70th birthday (May 26, 1990), though its official nationwide release was June 25, and though press releases originally list it as coming out on March 13, 1990. (Reviewers probably received it around that time. The album is repeatedly mentioned in a concert review published on the March 28, 1990 issue of the magazine 7 Days. The reviewer refers to it as Lee's "newly released CD.") Gracing the front cover is a drawing of the Peggy Lee Rose, a flower that the American Rose Society officially named after the singer in 1983. Includes brief liner notes by Sammy Cahn, who at the time was serving as president of the Songwriters' Hall of Fame and as ASCAP's vice-president. The booklet also includes transcriptions of all the featured lyrics. The album was originally sent to stores on CD and cassette; the LP version was at that time available only to members of the Columbia House Record Club.
Like her previous album on MusicMasters, The Peggy Lee Songbook also earned her a Grammy nominations in the category of Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Female. This was also the last of Peggy Lee's 14 Grammy nominations (12 bestowed on her, including one win; two bestowed on others but pertaining to her records). Or almost her last. In 1995, Peggy Lee received a very significant honor: The Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award. And a few years after she passed away, there were also two Grammy nominations in connection to her 2004 set The Singles Collection.
Please notice that the above-given recording date (November 1, 1989) is actually the first of the various days spent recording these performances. The last day was November 3.
Contrary to what the credits in this album would seem to suggest, Gordon Jenkins, Johnny Mandel, and Victor Young were not present at these sessions. Instead, those credits point to the fact that their respective arrangements of previous Peggy Lee recordings were used by Lee and company.
Following the original 1990 pressing of this album, MusicMasters did another, to which it assigned a new catalogue number. That second pressing is from around 1992. I have also come across listings for a CD edition of The Peggy Lee Songbook which is not credited to MusicMasters or to Musical Heritage, though it bears the same year as the original release. Its catalogue number is S&R 8208212; I presume S&R to be a licensee or a distributor. Although those are the only pressings known to me, I do not discard the possibility of others, which could also bear entirely different catalogue numbers.
Furthermore, the album was reissued on MusicMasters' parent company, Musical Heritage. There are also non-USA (re)issues of There'll Be Another Spring: The Peggy Lee Songbook on labels such as Limelight, Polygram, Phonogram, and Venus. A listing can be found in the foreign pressings page of this discography's Miscellanea section.

NOTES:
One of two LPs dedicated exclusively to Lee's MacGregor transcription recordings. (The title of the other one is You Can Depend On Me, released in 1981. Besides these two LPs, there is also an all-MacGregor cassette, titled I've Had My Moments, released in 1987.) Note that Norma and/or Candlelite misspelled the word "September" in the front cover. The word is correctly spelled elsewhere in the Norma issue.
A Japanese-market label, Norma Records was in operation from the 1990s to the 2000s. If word of mouth is to be trusted, the label was a bootlegger which had to shut down its business after facing one or more lawsuits. During its years of activity, it presented itself as a distributor and reissuer of vintage, relatively obscure jazz titles by both instrumentalists (e.g., Dick Katz' Kool For Katz, Lou Levy's Touch Of Class, Johnny Raducanu's Jazz In Trio, etc.) and female vocalists (e.g., Fran Lacey's Fran!, Lita Roza's Drinka Lita Roza Days, Annie Ross' Annie By Candlelight, Pinky Winters' Pinky). Most if not all of the mentioned albums were released on the label's so-called Collectors' Series (with catalogue numbers from the 5000s to the 7000s) and obis prominently featuring the wording N Presents.
Another sizable portion of the label's catalogue consisted of reissues whose front covers carried a yellow sticker identifying them as part of a "Rare Item Collection" series. Those carry catalogue numbers in the 1000s and 2000s. Many of them also have the peculiarity of being 10" LP pressings, despite dating from the 1990s. They appear to be straight replicas of original 10" LPs from the 1950s (same artwork, same 10" size).
September In The Rain is one of the titles in such a "Rare Item Collection" series. Norma issued it on December 25, 1998, exclusively for the Japanese market. The album is also part of a sub-series of at least ten Norma LPs, all of which paradoxically identify themselves as being on a second label, Candlelite Records. The most natural explanation for this duality is simply that Candlelite was the original issuer of these albums, and Norma their reissuer.
All ten Candlelite albums are by female artists of a certain vintage: Mindy Carson, Connie Francis, Peggy King, Peggy Lee, Monica Lewis, Betty Madigan, Ginny Simms, Keely Smith, Jeri Southern, and Jo Stafford. (There could be more, of which I am not yet aware.) Norma is said to have issued some of these 10" LPs items on CD as well -- not September In The Rain, though. I have actually seen Norma CDs of albums in its Collectors' Series, but not the Rare Item Collection series. I have been told, however, that the items by Mindy Carson Peggy King, and Monica Lewis do exist on compact disc.)
Tracking down this earlier, hypothetical September In The Rain album has turned out to be a challenge that I have yet to overcome. My searches have included the inspection of two relevant labels bearing the Candlelite name, one from the 1960s, the other from the 1970s. Both were mail-order outfits, a fact which could account for the elusiveness of this album.
To further complicate matters, the hypothetical Candlelite LP could itself be a reissue. Predating Norma and Candlelite, the very first label to issue September In The Rain could have been the MacGregor Transcription Company. Although primarily a radio transcription service (thus issuing, for the most part, transcription discs), MacGregor branched into retail in the 1950s, offering 78-rpm and 45-rpm singles as well as EPs and 10" LPs. Online, I have seen about 150 of such MacGregor retail releases, all of them seemingly rare. It thus stands to reason that there are other MacGregor albums which I have yet to see, including a third (or, chronologically, first) September In The Rain.

NOTES:
In its vinyl format, this modern-day era release was advertised as an audiophile item. The LP actually credits only the distribution to Tim International. Both production and copyright are credited to The Trumpets Of Jericho, a label which seems to have operated briefly, in the 2000s. (It concentrated on traditional pop and jazz material, with its other LP releases to Bunny Berigan, Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, King Oliver, Mugsy Spanier, etc.) Since I have not been able to audition the CD disc, I am uncertain as to whether it too credits The Trumpets of Jericho.

Potential buyers interested in compact disc versions of the hits album Bewitching-Lee! have two options, one on S&P and the other on DCC Records. Whereas fans of the original Capitol LP may prefer the DCC disc, dedicated audiophiles will probably favor the S&P CD. Casual listeners probably won't mind either version.
The sound of the S&P CD is clearer and, arguably, much better. S&P worked with a master tape of the LP which had neither artificial echo nor the other procedures that engineers applied to the final LP mix. The resulting reissue has a feel of immediacy to it. The lack of in-depth processing has thus resulted in greater clarity. On the flip side of the coin, there is some unavoidable hiss and distortion, particularly in the songs that come from the 1940s. Such instances of distortion are minor and do not work to the tracks' detriment. Vocal and instruments are still heard in clear and fine fidelity, even on top of the occasional hiss.

NOTES:
Mixing and mastering supervisor: Cy Godfrey. Mixed and mastered by Steve Hoffman. Second engineer: Steve Genewick at AcousTech Mastering, Camarillo, CA. Lines notes: Will Friedwald.
Remixed in the same studio where the original sessions were recorded (Studio B at the Capitol Tower), this issue boasts vibrant sound quality. The original master tapes were used, as well as WAVAC amplifiers. It is easily the best-sounding of all existent editions of the album.
This S&P remix of "I Am In Love" features a curious minor detail. Toward the end of the track, Lee is heard singing the phrase "so in need of a stampede of love" five times. In all other issues, that closing phrase is heard only four times.
As originally released in the Capitol album Guitars Ala Lee, Lee's performance of "Sweet Happy Life" evinces a fair amount of echo. Included herein as a bonus track, the performance's echo has been removed.

NOTES:
I have not listened to this LP. Judging from reports about other LPs from this 75th anniversary series, there is a good chance that of its being a new pressing of one of the already existent masterings of the album. There are at least three masterings. The earliest is naturally the original mastering, heard in the 1960 LP release. In 2003, the album was remastered for release on the EMI twofer CD A Natural Woman - Is That All There Is?. Then there was the 2006 licensing of the album to the Pure Pleasure label, which remastered for release on audiophile vinyl LP. The mastering on this 2017 Capitol LP might very well be the same as in the 2006 Pure Pleasure vinyl.

NOTES:
Because I do not have a copy of this LP, I have made a few educated guesses about its track listing. In particular, I have assumed it to feature the 1955 studio version of "He's A Tramp," not the 1954 studio original. Furthermore, the version of "Why Don't You Do Right?" could be the 1947 Capitol recording, instead of the 1942 Columbia hit.

A collaboration between Universal Records and the Peggy Lee estate, this set was prepared with a view toward producing a definitive one-disc anthology of Peggy Lee's music. In the vinyl format, it consists of two LPs. Besides that regular 2-LP release and the single CD, there was also a premium-priced clear-vinyl LP edition. Available in digital file format, too. In Billboard magazine charts, this issue peaked at #14 (Traditional jazz Albums, July 4, 2020) and #15 (Jazz Albums, July 4, 2020).

NOTES:
A curious issue which I have not physically seen, but whose existence has been corroborated by fellow fans of Peggy Lee. This 10" LP misses two songs from the American issue: "While We're Young" and "Don't Smoke In Bed."

NOTES:
This release is a Dutch edition of the original American LP The Hits of Peggy Lee. Its artwork is entirely different from the American original, and so is its title. The 10-track total displayed above means that this foreign version skips one of the 11 tracks found in the American LP ("I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her"). Officially unknown, the release date might be 1969.

For instance, the last selections on side 1 are Nat's renditions of "Love Is Here To Stay" and "St. Louis Blues," whereas the last selections on side 2 are Peggy's renditions of "Love Is Here To Stay" and "St. Louis Blues."

NOTES:
Contains 10 of the 12 tracks from the first of the two LPs in Decca's The Best Of Peggy Lee, Dxb 164. It substitutes "Ooh, That Kiss" and "How Bitter, My Sweet" with two tracks not in Decca Dxb 164, "He's A Tramp" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Although the one copy of this LP that I have seen is identified as Dutch, I don't discard the possibility that this issue might have originated in the UK.

Contains the same numbers as original issue American Dxb 164, also titled The Best Of Peggy Lee. (Same artwork and text, too, though fully translated into Spanish. The song titles are translated into Spanish as well: "Café negro," "Sr. Maravilloso," "Oh, ese beso," "Manzanas, duraznos y cerezas," "Mi corazón pertenece a mi papito," etc.) The title of the album itself is given in English on the front cover but translated into Spanish (Lo mejor de Peggy Lee) on the labels of each vinyl disc. The labels also stipulates that the album was released through a "licencia otorgada por Decca Records, a division of MCA Inc."

NOTES:
Not the full track listing; only tracks featuring Peggy Lee are listed. The sound quality of this LP is not good, unfortunately; the record's speed needed correction. (Presumably, the source was a fan's taping of the original show.) There are also various typographical errors of note, including the misidentification of Matty Matlock as Matty Meatlock.

NOTES:
Reader's Digest has released various issues under this title. One is a 4CD set, which does not include any Peggy Lee tracks. Another is a LP box sub-titled Great Stars Of The 50's, whose tracks I do not know. All of those sets (maybe part of a series?) seem to have been licensed primarily through Columbia Special Products. The particular set under discussion contains tracks taken mostly from Sony's vaults, but there are exceptions such as the Peggy Lee numbers, which were licensed from MCA. The set consists of 9 LPs. It differs from the aforementioned Memories Are Made Of This albums in that each singer receives at least one full side of a LP -- in some cases both sides. Furthermore, each LP comes in an inner sleeve with a full-size photograph of the given singer (s). The photo for the Peggy Lee side is the same one used as the front cover of her album Make It With You.

NOTES:
The back cover of this LP gives production rights to Polydor and identifies Summit as a distributor. However the label on the vinyl itself uses only the Summit logo and Summit Summit catalogue number (not Polydor's). Since this company is known to have released both LPs and tapes, a Summit cassette version of Live In London could exist as well. Note also that these is another Australian edition of Live In London. It's on the Rainbow label (cassette only, as far as I have been able to determine). As for an Australian edition strictly on Polydor Records, I have yet to come across evidence of any. (In addition to the original British release, there are Canadian and Japanese vinyl editions on Polydor.)

NOTES:
As can be seen ten of this album's 14 tracks are Peggy Lee vocals. An 11th track, "When The Roses Bloom" is another number that Lee recorded with Goodman (on January 15, 1942), but according to bio-discographer D. Russell Connor, the recording of "When The Roses Bloom" in this LP is the alternate, rarer one, with vocal by Art Lund, recorded on January 23, 1942. I do not have a copy of this LP; online listings lead me to suspect that the song "Somebody Nobody Loves" might incorrectly appear in the album's track listing as "Somebody Loves Me."

NOTES:
This is one of very few low-cut various-artists compilations that I have temporarily entered in this sessionography. Normally, various-artists compilations are entered herein only when they have an unique, noteworthy trait. This one is instead being listed because I have not been able to determine one of the tracks that it contains.
The song in question is listed under an incorrect title, "Let's Go Back That Way." Since I have not listened to the album, I am left to guess which song it could be. At least, the number is identified as a duet between Peggy Lee and Bing Crosby, thereby narrowing the field. Possibilities include their interpretations of "Way Back Home," "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis," and "Cuánto Le Gusta." Also in the run is Rainger and Robin's "Blue Hawaii," due to the fact that the album credits these songwriters with "Let's Go Back That Way." (Then again, we should not place our full trust in the accuracy of the album's songwriting credits.) "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis" should be highlighted among these possibilities, too. It is a frequently reissued number that features special lyrics. Though the words "let's go back that way" are not among such lyrics, the song does end with the somewhat similar line "we still have a long way to go."
The same problematic situation applies to a second Crosby-Lee duet in the album. It is miscalled "If You Would Ever Ask Me." Fortunately, the correct title of that second is easier to ascertain: "You Was."
The third Lee song, a solo, is correctly titled on the album's track listing.

NOTES:
In the front cover, the preposition "with" is skipped from the title, but the vinyl and the back cover do include it. The release year clearly falls within the 1950s, but is hard to pinpoint any further. Six other EPs are advertised in the back cover; their US counterparts date from 1956 and 1957. Hence either of those years would seem to make sense for this Lee EP as well. However, all those EPs have a different prefix (instead of the letter A, the number 1) and catalogue numbers within the 700 or 800 ranges. The Rendezvous could therefore date from a much earlier year. On the other hand, all seven items are identified as belonging to the so-called Capitol E.P. kollektie, and the difference in catalogue number could have been triggered by a decision to keep the original digits of the original (i.e., US) release. As for the difference in prefix, perhaps the A is an indication that, unlike the other six items, this Rendezvous EP uses artwork that is different from its American counterpart. Also different: the total number of tracks, which make it a proper EP rather than an EP album. (That is to say, the other EP editions contain not four but six or eight tracks.)

NOTES:
This Israeli issue combines tracks from two of the hits packages that Capitol released in the United States. Side A (the first six songs above) is the same as the A side of the 1968 Capitol album The Hits Of Peggy Lee. Side B is the same as the A side of the 1962 Capitol album Bewitching-Lee!. Stamped on the back cover of this issue is the legend "for sale in Israel only."
