All the songs were mastered at that time, except " Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven)" on February 26, 2008, and " Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)" on February 28, 2008.ĭespite being known and promoted as Lizzy Grant prior to the album's release, Del Rey became insistent she wanted to go under the stage name Lana Del Ray, leading the first album to be released as such. The final masters for the album took place on February 25, 2008, between 6 and 7 PM and were done by Kahne. When discussing the genre and sound of the record, Del Rey wanted the record be cinematic and reflect her affection for nostalgic imagery, she later said " kind of got my whole vibe straight away." The two worked on the album for around three months before completing it.
On working on the album with Kahne, Del Rey had said: "We were pretty obsessive about it". At some point prior to this, the album was planned to be produced by Steven Mertens but his contributions were ultimately never released. After hearing the tape, Kahne agreed to produce an album with Del Rey. With 5 Points Records backing, Lana Del Rey recorded a 7 track demo EP known as No Kung Fu that was sent to various producers before reaching David Kahne. The two of them agreed that Del Rey had the potential to have a major breakthrough and signed her to a multi-record contract. In 2007, 5 Points Records talent scout Van Wilson found Del Rey performing at a songwriting conference in Brooklyn and introduced her to David Nichtern.
