Lee Hazlewood lavish Box Set - Two different formats

Light in the Attic (LITA) proclaims on their website “Well, looks like dreams do come true and here’s one we’ve been saving”……… There’s A Dream I’ve Been Saving, commemorating the complete legacy of Lee Hazlewood Industries from 1966-1971 was released for sale on November 26^th. 

Lee Hazlewood......who you say….; does “These Boots Are Made for Walkin” ring any bells? Yep that song made famous by Nancy Sinatra. 

From Wikipedia: Barton Lee Hazlewood July 9, 1929 – August 4, 2007) was an American country and pop singer, songwriter, and record producer, most widely known for his work with guitarist Duane Eddy during the late 1950s and singer Nancy Sinatra in the 1960s.

Hazlewood had a distinctive baritone voice that added a resonance to his music. Hazlewood's collaborations with Nancy Sinatra as well as his solo output in the late 1960s and early 1970s have been praised as an essential contribution to a sound often described as "Cowboy Psychedelia" or "Saccharine Underground".

Forecasting The Minneapolis Sound

John Kirby writes; “The shape of funk to come-the Minneapolis Sound, as it would be popularly known-was not entirely the invention of the prince who became the city’s most famous citizen; it was instead a perfect storm of individuals and influences. Their output signaled a coming flood-and a welcomed levee failure-that would unleash a new era of musical expression into the Land of 10,000 Lakes and beyond.”

 

 

And thus we have the basis for Numero’s #050 Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound

The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records – Volume One (1917-27)

Over the last year or so, the record industry has heard rumors of an ambitious historical release from a mid-west label.  Eventually the rumors proved to be true as Revenant Records and Jack White’s Third Man Records were working on such a grand collection.

Today, the collection is complete, featuring 800 songs, 200 restored original ads and images, two books – one, a history of Paramount and the second, a field guide to the artists and their recordings – culminating in six 180-gram vinyl LPs.  The contents are ensconced inside a “wonder cabinet” of handcrafted oak, modeled after a phonograph case of the 1920s. The Rise and Fall also includes a clever USB drive, fashioned after a period phonograph needle diaphragm, which contains a unique music and image application, with numerous indexes, that allows you to easily explore this vast collection. The six vinyl LPs contain 87 recordings.

You’ll find artists such as Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Fletcher Henderson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver and Ethel Waters among others… a treasure chest of classic jazz and blues.

From Printed Wraps to Velvet or Denim, we have you covered

Debut LP from garage rock trio, Fuzz, released Oct. 1 on In the Red Records.

Ty Segall and Friends are 'Insanely Stoked' About New Band Fuzz's Debut Album

Who is Ty Segall? To start he’s occupied the cover of Spin Magazine, see below link:

http://www.spin.com/articles/ty-segall-twins-interview-new-garage-renaissance/

When it came time to design the jacket, In The Red Records’ principal, Larry Hardy, saw the 12” jacket we manufactured for Numero Group’s re-issue, Medusa. And with a band name like Fuzz, black velvet was the obvious material choice for the special edition. So feast your eyes on Fuzz’s black velvet jacket with two colors of foil stamping and a full color inside spread.

Applying foil to a material like velvet is difficult let alone applying it to the large area required for this front cover.

The project was delivered a few days early and the client is thrilled with the outcome.
