LEE,PEGGY (LP) ORIGIN: US/ COVER GRADING: VG+ / RECORD GRADING: EX/ LABEL: A&M / CATALOG #: SP4547/ RELEASED: 75/ DETAILS: Gatefold Cover/ Tear on Cover/ Deletion cut./ Intelligent, evocative, understated, and mature are words that come to mind when describing this 1975 recording. The album is the reflection of a middle-aged woman pondering her present life while romanticizing the past, knowing full well that, in the words of the last song, "We're longing for a simpler time that never was." Written and produced by Leiber & Stoller, and sung in the soft, breathy style of Peggy Lee, the listener is taken through a journey of songs that often evoke a sense of melancholy, even when the lyrical content seems upbeat, such as on "I've Got Them Feelin' Too Good Today Blues." /
