Capitol Records, Universal Music Enterprises, and Peggy Lee Associates have released Peggy Lee: From the Vaults (Vol. 3), the latest in a digital series of rare tracks by Peggy Lee. This volume features 13 previously unreleased or rare songs recorded between 1951 and 1972, including works by Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, and Steve Allen and alternate versions of known tracks. Highlights include “Didn’t We” by Jimmy Webb, which was recorded in 1969 but never included in Lee’s albums, and “I Love You But I Don’t Like You,” a 1951 track co-written by Lee. The collection also includes unreleased jazz standards and non-album singles, with future volumes planned to feature duets and collaborations. Peggy Lee’s catalog will be available for digital streaming through this series.

Of Lee’s recording, Jimmy Webb offers: “The Peggy Lee cover of my song ‘Didn’t We’ is an exquisite reading and a typically well-crafted vocal performance that Ms. Lee was known for. Each word is given special significance, which is a vocal skill rarely heard today. To hear her voice on this lost recording of one of my songs is a warmly welcomed surprise.”

“From the Vaults (Vol. 3)” includes four alternate versions of Peggy Lee’s songs: a rearranged take on “Uninvited Dream” from 1957, a different version of “A Taste of Honey” from her 1963 Grammy-nominated album, an alternate of “Me and My Shadow” from the B-side of her 1969 Grammy-winning single, and a revised version of “I’ll Be Seeing You” from her final Capitol album in 1972.
