Lee Hazlewood: We Only Record For The Fun Of It
Tony Stewart, NME, 18 September 1971
THREE YEARS ago, Lee Hazlewood tired of writing and producing Nancy Sinatra – split to Stockholme to carry on his interest in film work – but because of negotiations between his management over a period of two years, agreed to record Nancy again. And the result being, another boy-girl song, which reaches No 3 in this week's NME Charts.
