Description

11×7" Singles Box. Lee Hazlewood Industries issued dozens of long forgotten 45s and LPs. Whether acid-folk, country-rock, pop-psych or soul, LHI artists were united by the patronage of the underdog hero of 1960s music, the moustachioed maverick Lee Hazlewood.

The best of these have been now collected in You Turned My Head Around, a lavishly packaged, 3000-edition box set of eleven 45s, featuring such LHI favorites as Suzi Jane Hokom, Honey Ltd., Kitchen Cinq, Ann-Margret, and of course the undeniable Mr Lee.

To say Lee Hazelwood neither sings nor appears on many of these tracks, You Turned My Head Around tells the listener much about the cult singer-songwriter, producer, film star and latter-day cowboy. Like Hazlewood's own output, these are pop songs colored by sadness, pain and wisdom. Hazlewood's cha­racter is there in every long, spiral groove thanks to his stunning production.

That's not to say there's no variety. Artists include the Nico-like Lynn Castle with Last Friday’s Fire, the Zombies-like psych-poppers The Kitchen Cinq, blues-rockers Hamilton Streetcar, the sweet, trippy vocal group Honey LTD, instrumental group The Woodchucks, the Bobbie Gentry-like Ann Margret, psychedelic crooner Danny Michaels and the country stylings of Eve.

Then there are those tracks featuring Lee himself: Suzi Jane Hokom proves to be every bit the worthy counterpart to the big man’s sonorous baritone, just as Nancy Sinatra did before, and Hazlewood’s solo “Troublemaker” – a song about a conscientious objector – could be the rebellious performer's the­me song.

For fans of the lesser-discovered parts of the '60s music cannon, this is a treasure trove, chronicling the rise and fall of the flower power ideal from multiple perspectives; not just that of the young bands looking to ride the groovy train to pop stardom but from the perspective of Lee himself, a man already with a long career behind him, an accidental pop star for whom the hippy movement was to be viewed through eyes with deeper crow's feet than most.

  • Eleven 45RPM singles featuring original label/sleeve art, including an ultra-rare Woodchucks picture sleeve.
  • Housed in a gorgeous, custom-made, magnetic flip-top box, and packaged with a special, LHI 45 adapter to play those pressed middles in style.
  • Only 3000 hand-numbered copies produced, worldwide
  • Includes Lee Hazlewood puzzle, to keep you busy on those lonely nights
  • All tracks meticulously remastered – they've never sounded better
  • Free download card for all songs
