Description
Throughout her career, Lulu has worked with some of the best in the business. In the space of ten exciting years, straddling the 60s and the 70s, her recordings were produced by the stellar list of Mickie Most, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, Giorgio Moroder, Wes Farrell and David Bowie, with arrangements by the likes of John Paul Jones, Johnny Harris and Peter Knight. And the songs included early gems by the Bee Gees, Harry Nilsson, Neil Diamond, Randy Newman, and Elton John & Bernie Taupin, and classics from David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Lennon & McCartney and many more. The hits featured include "To Sir With Love" (a US # 1), "The Boat That I Row", "Love Loves To Love Love", "I'm A Tiger" (written by Ronnie Scott and Marty Wilde), "Boom Bang-A-Bang", "Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You Baby)", "The Man With The Golden Gun" (John Barry's theme for the Bond film), "The Man Who Sold The World" and "Watch That Man", and "Take Your Mama For A Ride". This annotated 5 CD media book is also extensively illustrated with many archive photos.

Limited to 500 units, the Amazon Exclusive Edition includes an exclusive print signed by Lulu.

On the same day, Edsel will also be releasing this vinyl-only 1LP best-of distillation:

Oh yeah.

Thank you, Linda

The non-exclusive edition of the box (without the autographed print) is now also pre-orderable from Amazon UK in the first post, but it's currently the same price as the exclusive version.

Fab Linda !! I have to lock and load both !!

With 5 CDs, I can only guess the box will encompass all the Mickie Most recordings + the Atco sessions + the Chelsea recordings, which we already have. Hope there's a generous amount of previously unreleased tracks as well.

Noting The Best Of LP is on 180 gram red vinyl !!

Now all we need is a followup box of her 1977+ recordings (and maybe throw in her early Decca tracks again somewhere).

. . . . . . . . . . (we need a Scottish flag for Lulu)

Hopefully we will eventually see the CD debut of "I Like To Boogie"

Is this a box set of music CDs? The description refers to it as an "annotated 5 CD media book." I have no idea what a media book is.

The media book is the packaging. (Basically, a box in the fashion of a book that opens on the right.) There will be five proper audio CDs inside.

Awesome! Thanks. I was not familiar with that term. (I had pre-ordered anyway just to be safe. LOL!)

Check it out Linda!

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Each album separated onto its own disc, plus bonus tracks from each era.

Track list for the LP (from the Banquet site):

1. To Sir With Love
2. The Boat That I Row
3. The Man Who Sold The World
4. Let's Pretend
5. Love Loves To Love Love
6. Me, The Peaceful Heart
7. Boy
8. I'm A Tiger
9. Boom Bang-A-Bang
10. Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You Baby)
11. Everybody's Got To Clap
12. The Man With The Golden Gun
13. Watch That Man
14. Take Your Mama For A Ride

Cat no: DEMREC315
Label: Demon Records

The CD box sets have been pushed back by a couple of weeks, to November 16th. (The best-of LP is still scheduled for November 2nd.)

We now have the tracklist for the 5CD box in the first post, along with a packshot of the Amazon UK Exclusive Edition complete with the bonus print.

A super box!! Alas, not much new to CD though, just 2 foreign versions of Boom Bang-A-Bang on disc 2, and the 4 German songs on disc 4. Note that they moved "Come September" from inside Lulu's Album to the Eurovision Songs section, all on disc 2.

But it's still SUPER !!

A few more copies of the Amazon Exclusive Edition have been made available. Not sure how long these will last:

Mine came in, a very nice set and love the signed bonus print. I will be framing that! Will spin this on Thanksgiving Day!

Just received
The 5 cd box today. Someone gave me her To Sir with Love love when it was first released.
I must say that this is an excellent set. Great music. Looking over the packaging I have to say that she was/is beautiful.
I just wish it had her early stuff. I recently found out that she was a huge Alex Harvey fan. In fact her first time on stage was the result of Alex pulling her up on stage to sing. Her first hit was Shout which she had taken Alex’s rendition of it and had a hit single with it.
Nice set!

All you need for her early recordings is the 2 CD set from 2009 "Shout! The Complete Decca Recordings" on the RPM label, and you'll be up to snuff. 42 cuts of all her 1964-1967 stuff. Amazon is your friend. You bee welcome!
