Archival label Light in the Attic (LITA) is continuing their partnership with singer, actress, and activist Nancy Sinatra with a reissue of her 1966 album Nancy In London. Originally released after her debut album, Boots, and before her sophomore album How Does That Grab You?, it was cut in three days at Pye Studios where The Kinks, Petula Clark, and David Bowie recorded their songs in the mid-1960s.
For the album, she chose songs like “On Broadway,” “Wishin’ and Hopin’,” and “This Little Bird,” resulting in a British feel. The album also includes Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood’s duet “Summer Wine.”
The album is due out September 6th in vinyl, CD, and digital formats, with the LP edition being offered on classic black wax and special limited-edition colored wax (including “Summer Wine” red or “Little Bird Blue” with peach splatter).
All formats feature audio freshly remastered from the original analog tapes by Grammy-nominated engineer John Baldwin. Pressed at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI), the vinyl edition is presented in an expanded gatefold jacket accompanied by a 20-page booklet (featuring a new Q&A with Sinatra conducted by the reissue’s Grammy-nominated co-producer Hunter Lea, plus never-before-seen photos from the artist’s personal archive).
All music configurations, plus limited-edition autographed vinyl, will also be made available at Nancy’s Bootique.
Nancy In London marks the latest release in LITA’s ongoing Nancy Sinatra Archival Series, a partnership with the artist, which honors her musical legacy through curated reissues, including her 1966 debut Boots, 1966’s How Does That Grab You?, 1968’s Nancy & Lee and 1972’s Nancy & Lee Again (both with Lee Hazlewood), as well as the 2021 career-spanning retrospective Start Walkin’ 1965-1976 and its 2023 companion Keep Walkin’: Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978.
