~ Lee Hazlewood & Ann-Margret ~
The Cowboy & the Lady

released 1969 by LHI # S-12007

Stereo US Original Pressing of this really rare
and really cool collaboration by Lee Hazlewood and
sexy actress & vocalist Ann-Margret that features an
incredible sequence of photos of the pair in various
states of dress & undress in an old-west-looking
setting throughout the great deluxe UniPak fold-out
cover (kind-of-like a Gatefold Cover) as all of Lee
Hazlewood's projects, this features great song
choices and fantastic production throughout

~ condition ~


a fairly scratchy copy that still plays & sounds good
but with mellow crackle throughout in addition to spots
with stray pops & tics but nothing too bad & while the
vinyl is scratchy, it is still shiny & clean without dirt or
prints & shiny clean mostly wear-free labels with no
writing or markings & just light spindle wear


cover is in Very Good + Condition with bold bright
printing and has no seam splits, writing or markings
but does have some wear to the corners & edges
although there's nothing seriously wrong here

displays well & plays ok

side two : S-12007B SIDE 2  LHI FOR BESTWAYS LW

the above is 'scrawled' into the dead wax and
each side also has BestWays mastering stampers


~ review ~


one of the best things about this record is the cover
photography, as the pair strips down to long-johns in what
appears to be the frontier city set in Tucson, AZ. the brassy
Ann Margaret has a few things in common with Hazlewood's
other female collaborator Nancy Sinatra ~ a good voice as
well as a great body. The instrumental arrangements reveal
that Hazlewood was already brave, bold & audacious, some-
times changing the texture totally for his fade-out tags &
other times dropping in so many instruments that it seems
like a music store has moved in upstairs and caused the floor
to collapse. Ann Margret's big accomplishment here is the
not-simple task of stepping into a country arrangement when
she is not at all a country singer. This does not mean her "Only
Mama That'll Walk the Line" will make anyone forget the the
Waylon Jennings original, but it works here with her voice is
swathed with the harmonica of Charlie McCoy & the great
pedal steel guitar here. Some have said this wasn't the
best musical pairing, but we say it's pretty cool!

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same 
but we have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us
and we try to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a record.
we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
