Celebrated archival reissue label Light in the Attic (LITA) is proud to announce the second release in their Nancy Sinatra Archival Series, the definitive version of her inimitable debut LP, Boots. Originally released in 1966, the enduringly iconic, million-selling album not only catapulted the career of singer, actress, activist, and cultural icon, Nancy Sinatra, it contained within its grooves an enduring anthem of empowerment that continues to resonate with new audiences today with no signs of slowing down.
Boots marks Sinatra’s transformation from “Nancy nice lady,” as she says, to a fully-formed and self-assured figure of empowerment both in appearance and in performance, making her forever synonymous with the album’s titular subject in the process. A top 5 album at the time of its release, Sinatra scored a No.1 hit on both sides of the Atlantic with “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’,” which earned three GRAMMY® nominations and sold over a million copies of the single. The album marked her first full-length release with writer, producer, and collaborator, Lee Hazlewood, which features a mixture of Hazlewood-penned tunes and selections from heavyweights The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and more. The successful collage of 60s material hangs beautifully together with support from the famed Los Angeles session musicians, The Wrecking Crew, who set the stage for Nancy’s vocals with their raw, jangly, exuberance and cohesion. Tying it all together is arranger and longtime collaborator Billy Strange, whose innovative arrangements provided the perfect sound to help Nancy capture the attention of the world. Included in the forthcoming reissue are all tracks from the original album, plus two bonus tracks, “The City Never Sleeps At Night” and the previously unreleased “For Some.” All tracks have been newly remastered from the original analog tapes by GRAMMY®–nominated engineer, John Baldwin.

I was born in 88 and I still love these old songs. The artists and songs of today just cannot compete with the era of the songs of the 60s and 70s. It must have been a fine time to grow up in. 😊 these are CLASSICS and remind me of better days when people were nicer and prices were cheaper 😢
-
Obviously this song is iconic, but I feel like not enough people talk about just what a good song it is. The production is great, I mean that bass or banjo or whatever it is at the beginning is SO kickass it’s almost punk rock

That blonde in the pink sweater is loving every minute of this
-
This is still my favorite version. Thanks Nancy for walking for us.

Saw this once back in '66. Never allowed to watch it again by my folks. I wasn't sure why I liked it so much.
-
As a teenager I loved this song so much, I bought myself a pair of go-go boots 😘
-
The lady in the light pink is really putting in the work😊 I appreciate her enthusiasm.
-
Omg risqué outfits...love it.
-
the bassline on the chorus is so effective for something so simplistic.
-
I can't take my eyes off. The music and song are hypnotizing and the more I listen, the more I like it. I want to dance with them. The girls are beautiful. I find their looks very attractive, the shoes are very stylish and go well with their short dresses and tights. Women's legs in tights are basically my weakness, they are exquisite and elegant☺

Fun fact: This song was originally written by the author, Lee Hazelwood, to sing himself. But Nancy Sinatra convinced him that it would be too harsh for a man to sing about walking all over a woman. He agreed and let her record the song, which became a hit in part because it promoted women standing up for themselves in their relationships with men, which was one aspect of the growing women’s rights movement in Western culture.

That hair when she flips it around....she nails that perfectly!

Nancy was such a looker. I thank Full Metal Jacket for highlighting her awesomeness during the Vietnam era.
