Nancy Sinatra – Sugar

"Sugar" is the fourth album Nancy Sinatra recorded in 1966 - an uncanny feat considering the Beatles were recording about two albums a year at the time. The iconic Ron Joy cover photo of Nancy in a pink bikini (the first on an album cover!) was a bold move in 1967 that helped catapult "Sugar" to #18 in the charts (Nancy's second highest charting album after Boots).

It's a strange album, combining one of Nancy's best-known songs, Sugar Town, with 1920s compositions recorded in a contemporary Dixieland jazz-pop fusion style that could only have come from producer Lee Hazlewood. Nancy Sinatra was long ahead of her time - both in her choices as an artist and as a businesswoman - and equally strong, sultry and savvy. Undeterred, she forged her own path early on, paving the way for decades of female artists to follow - all the while maintaining control over her career, her image and her music. In 1965, Nancy Sinatra changed the face of music, fashion and culture. The definitive vinyl reissue of Nancy's legendary 1967 album comes as a beautifully packaged and expanded gatefold LP with 20-page booklet, includes the hits "Sugar Town", "In Our Time", and "Coastin'", has been remastered from the original analog tapes by GRAMMYr-nominated engineer John Baldwin, and includes two bonus tracks: the non-album singles "In Our Time" and "Leave My Dog Alone".
