Light in the Attic is proud to present Nancy Sinatra’s 1969 self-titled album. This definitive
new edition and first ever vinyl re-release celebrates one of Nancy’s most unexplored eras.
After three years in the spotlight and at the forefront of pop music, Nancy Sinatra found
herself in an unexpected yet familiar position — much like in early 1965. She was once
again without a producer, without new songs, and fighting to stay on her label.
Lee Hazlewood had been Nancy’s producer, duet partner and he had written many of her
hits. After an unbelievable three-year run of hits, Lee suddenly moved to Sweden without
saying goodbye. Nancy was surprised and hurt, but she kept moving and evolving. She
found a producer in her longtime arranger Billy Strange and discovered a young songwriter (and future superstar) named Mac Davis, who would help redefine her sound.
Simply titled Nancy, this album sits alone in her discography, hidden between her iconic
1960s albums and her funkier 1970s work. The album features country fried soul (God
Knows I Love You, Son of a Preacher Man), timeless ballads (Memories) and a breathtaking orchestral, bluesy, downtempo funk version of The Doors’ Light My Fire that sounds like David Axelrod in Las Vegas, in the best possible way. It’s a transitional album, her swan song for Reprise Records, a fan favorite of the faithful and ripe for rediscovery.
The CD edition is housed in a digipak and features a 24-page booklet and three bonus
tracks including the newly mixed and previously unreleased Long Time Woman (Early
Alternate Version), an outtake written by Bob Elusive Butterfly Lind. The track, featuring a
breathtaking vocal from Nancy and delicate harpsichord played by Don Randi was
produced by Lee Hazlewood during Nancy & Lee album recording sessions in 1968. Each vinyl edition is presented in an expanded gatefold jacket (featuring a 12-page booklet), with a special color wax edition and includes a bonus flexi featuring the previously unreleased track Longtime Woman (Early Alternate Version).
