Has anyone seen Peggy Lee's MIRRORS available on CD? An eerily atmospheric concept album, all the songs were written by Lieber and Stoller, the most well known being SOME CATS KNOW and THE FEELING-TOO-GOOD-TODAY BLUES. Lushly orchestrated, it is unlike any other album Peggy Lee...or any other American singer...made.

The "Mirrors" album appeared on CD in 1989 only briefly, a casualty of the absorption of A&M into Polygram. It was reissued in Japan by Universal a couple of years back, but the mastering quality of that issue is decidedly subpar.

The good news is, we've just remixed the entire album as the better part of the new CD, "Peggy Lee Sings Leiber & Stoller," available now in a limited edition of 5,000 copies from Hip-O Select (www.hip-oselect.com). Not only is the sound significantly better than on any previous issue, but the new CD also includes two previously unissued tracks from the "Mirrors" sessions, all of Peggy Lee's essential Leiber & Stoller recordings for Capitol in the '60s, and extensive liner notes by yours truly.

Hip-O Select doesn't ship to the EU or UK, but buyers there can get it from www.dustygroove.com.
