There's A Dream I've Been Saving: Lee Hazlewood Industries 1966 - 1971
This landmark Deluxe Edition box is the ultimate artifact for Lee Hazlewood heads new and old, containing eight discs (four CDs + four DVDs), a lavishly packaged, expansive 172-page LP sized hard cover book, and some surprising extras.
One of the most impressive aspects of this LHI box set is the gorgeous 12''x12'' LP sized book, packed with rare beautiful pictures of Lee, his artists (and the occasional horse). The pages roll out the full story of the LHI label, including interviews with Lee and Suzi Jane Hokum, re-assessments of key Hazlewood albums, and artist profiles for the label's roster, lovingly written by renowned L.A. music journalist/novelist Jessica Hundley. In the illuminating text, a picture of Hazlewood emerges - fiercely talented, brutally independent, a rare, ornery, ruthless and visionary man.
Since every good book deserves a soundtrack, in this case it comes in the form of a four CD anthology of the LHI label, along with the never-before-released 1970 film
Cowboy In Sweden on DVD.
This Deluxe Edition of the ultimate Lee Hazelwood Industries (LHI) collection contains some things not in the Standard Version of the box: For one, it comes housed in a cloth-bound clamshell box. It also includes reproductions of LHI-era artifacts including press photos and a reproduction plane ticket used by Hazlewood back in '70. But the true icing on the cake are the three DVD data discs which include just about every 45 single and every LP ever released on LHI in both WAV and MP3 formats, along with their label and cover art. At around 17 albums and 72 singles (totaling 305 songs!), that's a whole lot of Lee!
