If you’ve been following Light in the Attic’s ongoing Lee Hazlewood Archive Series, you’ve discovered a treasure trove of wild ‘n’ wooly music from the country-pop maverick.  But the past releases in the series are proving to be delicious appetizers for the just-announced main course.  On November 26, Light in the Attic will unveil There’s a Dream I’ve Been Saving: Lee Hazlewood Industries 1966-1971.  This seven-years-in-the-making deluxe box set will be available as a 4-CD/1-DVD/1-flexidisc edition and an even more elaborate version adding three data DVDs containing WAVs and MP3s of 17 albums and 140 A and B sides from the LHI catalogue.

The Lee Hazlewood Industries label was a natural extension of the work Hazlewood created as a writer, producer and vocalist for a variety of artists at labels including MGM and most notably, Reprise.  At The House That Frank Built, Hazlewood taught Nancy Sinatra how to sing “like a 16-year old who goes out with 45-year old truckers” updated the Chairman’s own sound with hits like “This Town,” and delivered “Houston” to Dean Martin.  It’s been  a Hazlewood renaissance in recent years; the Ace label has compiled collections dedicated to the psychedelic cowboy’s songs and outside productions as well as his complete 1965-1967 recordings for MGM (made in between stints at Reprise) while Rhino Handmade has surveyed the Reprise years.  In 1966, however, Hazlewood founded LHI, where he not only recorded his own singular, off-the-wall brand of country/folk/pop/rock but released numerous albums and singles by a wide range of hand-picked artists.

What, exactly, will you find on this comprehensive compendium?  Hit the jump for more details including the track listing and pre-order link!

There’s a Dream I’ve Been Saving celebrates LHI’s brief but fertile period of creativity in lavish style, with a hardcover, clothbound, LP-sized book (12” x 12”) joining its four CDs and one DVD.  Written by Jessica Hundley, the book tells the LHI story via interviews with Hazlewood and label alumni including Suzi Jane Hokom, plus a timeline, 27 artist profiles, and reassessments of key LHI albums.  Over 150 photographs can also be found in its pages.

The four CDs boast a total of 107 tracks, 14 of which are previously unreleased.  Discs 1 and 2 offer the entirety of Lee’s solo LHI recordings, including every single and album (Cowboy in Sweden, Forty, The Cowboy and the Lady, and Requiem for an Almost Lady) plus a brace of previously unissued tracks.  These discs also cover his memorable duets with Suzi Jane Hokom and Ann-Margret.  Discs 3 and 4 sample the rest of the LHI catalogue, with tracks from artists such as Hokom, The Kitchen Cinq, Ann-Margret, Honey Ltd., The International Submarine Band, Arthur, The Aggregation, Sanford Clark, Lynn Castle, The Surprise Package, Virgil Warner, Don Randi, The Shacklefords and Hamilton Streetcar.  All tracks have been remastered; 95% have been derived from the original master tapes while the remaining 5% have been transferred from pristine vinyl sources.

The region-free DVD premieres a new digital transfer from the original 16mm master negative of Hazlewood’s never-before-available 1970 film Cowboy in Sweden, fully restored with remastered sound.  Rounding out the package are a couple pieces of Lee-centric swag: a flexidisc capturing unheard studio chatter from Hazlewood, and a reproduction of his original embossed LHI business card.  In addition, five boxes will be packaged with a Golden Ticket for a free subscription to Light in the Attic’s ongoing Hazlewood Archive Series.

If that’s not enough Lee for you, LITA has a super deluxe version on tap.  This set adds three DVDs.  On the first disc you’ll find the near-entirety of the LHI catalogue in 320 Kbps MP3 format (17 albums and 140 single sides, for a total of 305 songs).  (The International Submarine Band’s LP is the only LHI album excluded here.)  DVD 2 includes the albums in WAV format, and DVD 3 has the singles as WAVs.  This edition is housed in a gold-foil clothbound clamshell box, and also adds six glossy photographs and a 1970 ticket from Hazlewood Airlines!

Light in the Attic will bundle online orders from the label’s site with a limited edition 45 RPM single featuring two previously unreleased songs: “For a Day Like Today” (Take 4) by Suzi Jane Hokom b/w “Sweet Ride” (Demo) by Lee himself.  Pre-orders will begin shipping on November 19 per LITA’s website.  Pre-orders are not yet being accepted at Amazon.com, but you can order directly from LITA – and check out sound samples – at the link below!  There’s a Dream I’ve Been Saving: Lee Hazlewood Industries 1966-1971 is available on November 26.
