Hazelwood, Lee You Turned My Head Around: Lee Hazlewood Industries 1967-1970 (11 x 7″ Box Set) 7″ Vinyl Box Part of the sheer joy of Light In The Attic’s excavation of Lee Hazlewood’s back catalogue has been exploring the output of his own, late ’60s label, Lee Hazlewood Industries, which 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. Housed in a custom-made, magnetic flip-top box, the package includes an LHI adapter and a free download card for all songs (handy for when you’re away from your beloved turntable). The eleven 7″ singles each come in their own picture sleeve, making this a delight to hold, to see and to listen to. Includes Lee Hazlewood puzzle, to keep you busy on those lonely nights.
