Music reviews of Sings Leiber & Stoller
Music Review: A MASTERPIECE OF MUSIC, PERFORMANCE & SOUND ENGINEERING
Rating: 5 Stars
The sumptuous packaging (embossed double-fold digipak, 20p full color booklet with articulate essaying and track-by-track annotations) suggests a release of note, but can a book be judged by its cover?
In the case of PEGGY LEE SINGS LEIBER & STOLLER the answer is "no". This exquisite collection is very much more an aural treat than visual. Considerable expertise, effort and taste have resequenced, remixed and remastered a collection drawn from diverse sources into a complete album which is so very much better than the great album it's mainly sourced from (MIRRORS). As a showcase for Leiber & Stoller this release is monumental. As a Peggy Lee album it's one of her best. As a Grammy contender it must be considered.
Not to be compared to MIRRORS, "...Sings L&S" needs to be experienced for what it is. Each track has been remixed to a full and rich sound which was never apparent on the vinyl or CD re-issues of MIRRORS (from pressing tapes). This is a whole new thing - the addition of unreleased masters and an overall but uncompromised excellence of sound make this album fresh enough to have been recorded yesterday but with no hint of digital presence. It's actually astonishing that something like this can appear thirty-plus years after the fact - the full orchestrations (and the majesty of the Lee voice) have been revealed and are present and accounted-for wherever this disc is played.
Track comparisons also seem pointless - this collection in its entirety absolutely sets the benchmark. Buy it now - it's after all a Limited Edition and definitely not recommended to be The One That Got Away.

Description of Sings Leiber & Stoller
In 1975, the incomparable Peggy Lee recorded an album for A&M called Mirrors, written and produced by the legendary Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Mirrors-a follow-up to the phenomenal success of "Is That All There Is?"-sought to place Lee in the role of an American Edith Piaf, with songs that were more reflective and mature than the pop hits that had thrust both Lee and Leiber & Stoller into the limelight. While both the writer/producers and the performer considered Mirrors to be some of their finest work, the recording has nonetheless been long unavailable in any format. Moreover, Leiber & Stoller were never satisfied that the original mixes did full justice to the songs, or to Lee. Now, thirty years later, the renowned duo has gone back to the original multitrack tapes and remixed the entire album in the digital domain, realizing the sound they had always intended. Complete with newly remastered versions of all the Leiber & Stoller hits that Peggy Lee recorded in the Capitol era, two previously unreleased outtakes from the Mirrors sessions, and extensive liner notes from remix producer Peter Stoller, Mirrors has been transformed into the centerpiece of this comprehensive, and essential, compilation.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
