Peggy Lee- Miss Wonderful-LP

Peggy Lee’s Miss Wonderful, arranged and conducted by Sy Oliver, showcases her nuanced blend of jazz and blues with a subtle swing that complements her smoky voice. The album features Lee’s own songwriting contributions, including “Take a Little Time to Smile” and “I Don’t Know Enough About You,” co-written with her husband Dave Barbour, adding a personal touch to the set. “Where Flamingos Fly” stands out as a forceful showstopper, delivered with a storytelling edge that paints an outlaw’s tale of lust—no small feat for an album that otherwise rests comfortably in sophisticated restraint. This 1958 mono pressing offers a solid vintage listening experience, presenting the album as it was heard during its era. The vinyl condition is VG+, which suggests some light surface marks and paper scuffs typical of regular use but nothing that should overshadow Peggy Lee’s warm vocals and the lush arrangements. It’s a choice pressing for those who appreciate mid-century vocal jazz with a hint of blues, and it holds its place neatly among mono collectors who don’t mind a bit of everyday character in their groove. After all, not every record has to come with a velvet rope.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
