You can make a better version of Nancy & Lee by ditching You've Lost That Loving Feeling/Storybook Children and adding the two sides from the Down From Dover/Paris Summer single. Both are excellent and sit awkwardly on the album Did You Ever, which is patchy.

I have that Boyd Rice/ Rose McDowell Spell lp somewhere which has Down From Dover on it.

It's on Lightning's Girl too. Great compi, probably the best I'm aware of.Has most of the great Lee Hazlewood, other solo and Something Stupid with her dad on.

You've Lost That Loving Feeling is one of the best things on Nancy & Lee imo.

Basically listen to it for that, Some Velvet Morning, Summer Wine, and Sand.
"Lady Bird", yo.

How about Nancy's delivery of the last verse of My Elusive Dreams? "But this time only two of us move on...and now, now we have each other...and, a little memory to cling to"/ Lee: "And still you won't let me go on alone".
That's part of the album's genius right there.

Thinking now about Down From Dover, maybe two dead baby songs would be too much for one album.

Anyone ever given Nancy & Lee 3 a listen? Never got round to it.

Nancy & Lee is amazing, but having a hard time deciding whether her voice stands up to his.
a weird thing to say about a guy who had no voice!

I like the 1969 LP Nancy, which Hazlewood wasn't involved with at all but which features some fine Wrecking Crew work and Billy Strange guitar solos. The single was the Bobbie Gentry-ish "God Knows I Love You," written by Delaney Bramlett & Mac Davis. There's also a version of "Light My Fire" that follows José Feliciano's version more than the Doors'. She's clearly moving into Adult Contemporary territory on this album, but in an sultry, bass-heavy, late '60s way.

I think the Lightning Girl comp has everything one would need on it.

My favorite, from Nancy In London. One of my alltime best mixtapes started with this and segued into "In The Flesh" by Blondie.
