Rare Gems & Hidden Treasures
CD (Item 599190) Capitol, Late 40s/1950s — Condition: Used
Great early work from Peggy Lee – mostly culled from her young days at Capitol, when she was waxing some excellent singles and jazz sides. Much of the material from those days was never properly issued on full LPs – and unlike later years, Capitol didn't always release everything that Peggy recorded in the studio. This set takes full advantage of that shortage, and combines 10 rare singles with 9 previously unissued tracks – for a great look at a less-heard side of this great female singer. Titles include "Similau", "Blum Blum, I Wonder Who I Am", "All The Cats Join In", "Farewell To Arms", "Foolin' Nobody But Me", "Bubble-Loo Bubble-Loo", "Why Should I Cry Over You?", "Eight, Nine, & Ten", "Light Of Love", "Every Night", and "I Love The Way You're Breaking My Heart". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Two albums from Peggy Lee on one CD. First up is I Like Men! – an obscure album of "guy" songs from the end of the 50s! There's a playful feel to the music that fits Lee's vocals very well – as do the bouncy arrangements from Jack Marshall, who turns out to be one of the ... CD

Sugar 'N' SpiceCapitol, 1962. Used

Dakota Staton
Dynamic! (with bonus tracks)Capitol, 1958. Used
The title certainly gets it right – as Dakota Staton is definitely dynamic on this one, but not in a way that's hokey or forced at all! Instead, the record nicely lifts Staton from some of the more laidback and bluesy modes of her other 50s records – into a fuller range of styles that ... CD
Dakota Staton
Time To Swing (with bonus tracks)Capitol/DRG, 1959. Used
It's time to swing, but with a classy sound throughout – very much the best mix of modes Dakota Staton brought to her key early years at Capitol Records! Backings are by Sid Feller, and are pretty darn jazzy throughout – more so than some of Sid's other work of the time – a ... CD
