"Meet Me in St. Louis [Rhino]" (04/25/1995) Pop Vocal Original Soundtrack, Rhino Records (USA)Personnel include: Judy Garland (vocals). Principal cast includes: Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brian, Tom Drake, Lucille Bremer. Personnel: Denny Markas, John Caroll, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Tom Drake, Harry Davenport, Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, Marjorie Main, Arthur Freed (vocals). Recording information: Culver City, CA (11/03/1943-05/26/1944). As one of the premiere MGM musicals of all time, it is amazing that a definitive Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) had never been available prior to this 1995 single CD. Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin's complete score is included, as are the oft-overlooked orchestrations from Conrad Salinger. Even though the role seems to have been written specifically for Judy Garland, the actress purportedly fought the studio, as she had grown weary of portraying children onscreen. As fate would have it, her performance not only stole the show, but became one of Garland's most critically and commercially successful performances. The plot deals with the Smith family during the winter of 1903, as they eagerly await the opening of the World's Fair in their hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. However, when the father is offered a substantial job in the Big Apple, their hopes of attending the event are dashed. Simply put, Garland -- who plays the second oldest female of five siblings -- is splendid from tip to tail. Especially notable are her solos on the yearning "The Boy Next Door," the holiday standard "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," the career-defining "Trolley Song," and on this edition, an outtake titled "Boys and Girls Like You and Me." She is joined by Lucille Bremer on the familiar reprise of the theme "Meet Me in St. Louis" and on the high-energy square dance routine "Skip to My Lou." Tom Drake -- the object of Garland's affections in the film -- pairs up for the poignant waltz ballad "Over the Banister." Although it tends to be eclipsed somewhat by the other luminous entries in the songbook, the vaudevillian "Under the Bamboo Tree" is a great production number with a very young Margaret O'Brien accompanying Garland. The liner notes are extensive, housing plenty of eye candy, as well as a detailed essay by George Feltenstein. ~ Lindsay Planer

"A&E Biography" (06/16/1998) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Capitol/EMI RecordsA&E BIOGRAPHY: A MUSICAL ANTHOLOGY is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files. Features previously unreleased tracks and rare versions of classic tracks. This is part of A&E's Biography series. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. This Judy Garland compilation is a soundtrack to the A&E television biography of Garland, concentrating primarily on her tenure at Capitol Records. While by no means definitive, the set contains many of Garland's best-known moments, including "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart," and "Over the Rainbow" and "We're Off to the See the Wizard" from her career-making film THE WIZARD OF OZ. Some of Garland's best tunes are compressed into medleys here. "You Made Me Love You" and "The Trolley Song," for example, are joined with "For Me and My Gal" into one song. Those looking for complete versions of these songs, or a more comprehensive career overview, should look elsewhere, but that is not to say that A&E BIOGRAPHY isn't a successful package. It's a fine, concise collection that gives a tasty slice of some of Garland's best work.

"Best of Judy Garland: 20th Century Masters" (04/06/1999) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, MCA Records (USA)Personnel includes: Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly. Recorded between 1939 and 1945. Includes liner notes by Joseph Laredo. This is part of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series. These songs, like Judy Garland's hand and shoe prints in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, are forever cast in the in the heart and soul of American popular culture. Featuring her mountain of a voice, and brimming with strong emotions, these recordings from the early years of Garland's career exhibit a doe-eyed hope and vulnerable optimism. When she sang "Over the Rainbow," she became the voice of a nation, and all these songs are this persuasive; each one puts the listener in her shoes. "On the Atchison, Topeka & the Santa Fe," with its irresistible rhythm, is fueled by Garland's giddy excitement. "The Trolley Song" is equally possessed, and it's the listener whose heartstrings zing. If by some chance you are not familiar with these recordings, a listen will leave you captivated and devoted.

"That's Entertainment!/I Could Go on Singing" (03/14/2006) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Collectables Records2 LPs on 1 CD: JUDY! THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT (1960)/I COULD GO ON SINGING (1963). Originally released on Capitol. Although Judy Garland made the recordings heard on this discount-priced two-fer in 1960 and 1962, and she lived until 1969, they represent some of her final studio tracks. (Most of the material for the 1961 album The Garland Touch was recorded in between.) After 1962, Garland's recordings invariably consisted of live performances. The 12 tracks that made up the album called That's Entertainment!, her sixth Capitol Records studio album, are a typical selection of Broadway and Hollywood standards, plus the then-newly written Andr? and Dory Previn song "Yes." Conductor Jack Marshall placed the singer in various settings, including full orchestral arrangements, small-band jazz groups, and even single-instrument backups such as the voice-and-piano version of "It Never Was You." The album was unjustly ignored upon release in the fall of 1960, thrown into even greater shadow when 1961's Judy at Carnegie Hall (which borrows five of its songs) became a big hit. This is a chance for fans to hear it anew. Tracks 13 through 21 are actually the original motion picture soundtrack recordings from I Could Go On Singing, a loosely autobiographical dramatic film that became Garland's final screen appearance in 1963. Three of the nine tracks contain only orchestral background material, one is an impromptu screen performance of a Gilbert & Sullivan song, and "It Never Was You" (repeated from earlier on the disc) and "By Myself" are songs that were long a part of Garland's repertoire. The only new Garland numbers are the title song, which is presented in long and short versions, and a revival of the 1926 Tin Pan Alley tune "Hello, Bluebird." But that title song, written by longtime Garland favorites Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, is a late-career show stopper for the singer. Still, the soundtrack album is just an addendum to the earlier LP. ~ William Ruhlmann

"Judy Garland in Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits" (10/27/1998) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Turner Classic Movies MusicPersonnel includes: Judy Garland (vocals); David Buttolph, Georgie Stoll, Lennie Hayton, Johnny Green, Ray Heindorf, Mort Lindsay (conductor); The 20th Century Fox Studio Orchestra, The M-G-M Studio Chorus, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Don McKabe, Jack Harmon, The Warner Bros. Studio Orchestra. Compilation producer: George Feltenstein. Recorded between 1936 and 1962. Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald. Although she also had a highly successful career as a singer and recording artist, Judy Garland will always be best remembered for her appearances in numerous classic film musicals. This well-selected 23-track set gives a perfect overview of her movie career, and features all of the performances for which she is best known, including, of course, "Over the Rainbow," the THE WIZARD OF OZ song that became the actress's signature. Arranged chronologically, JUDY GARLAND IN HOLLYWOOD begins with 1923's "The Texas Tornado" (made when the actress was a tender 14 years old) and "Dear Mr. Gable/You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)," from the sequence of tunes that first brought her to the attention of Decca Records and kickstarted her recording career. The set ends with 1963's "I Could Go On Singing," but not before connecting the dots with some of Garland's brightest film moments-- "The Trolley Song," "Get Happy," and "Easter Parade," among them.

"Live at the Palace [1952]" (10/02/2001) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Howards InternationalJudy Garland launched a comeback as a live performer in 1951, scoring a triumph at the Palace Theater in New York a year after she was dismissed by MGM. Her "two-a-day" engagement at the old vaudeville house ran for 19 weeks from October 16 to February 24, 1952, and someone recorded the closing night; this is that recording, in all its low-fidelity glory. Garland's act was written by her old MGM colleague Roger Edens, who came up with special musical introductions and shaped her material into two medleys, one containing old vaudeville favorites like "Shine on, Harvest Moon" and "Some of These Days," and other chestnuts from Garland's films, such as "For Me and My Gal" and "The Boy Next Door." After teaming with Jack McClendon on "A Couple of Swells," which she had performed with Fred Astaire in Easter Parade, Garland concluded with "Over the Rainbow." That was the end of the show, but this being closing night, she went on to take a request for "Love," which she had recorded in the 1940s; "A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow" from Little Nellie Kelly, her husband Sid Luft's favorite; and "Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)" for her six-year-old daughter. She even introduced the Palace's next performer, opera singer Lauritz Melchior, before the audience sang her off with "Auld Lang Syne." Originally released on an unofficial LP, this is a historical document and should not be compared with a polished album release. It is a one-of-a-kind performance, on which Garland, exhausted after her long run and performing before friends, often sounds a little scattered, even though she sings well. [A re-sequenced version of the show was released by Sid Luft Music as Judy at the Palace in 1997; the original Live at the Palace was reissued on CD by Hollywood Soundstage in 2001.] ~ William Ruhlmann

"The London Sessions" (10/20/1998) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Capitol/EMI RecordsDigitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (June-July 1991, Capitol Recording Studios). Includes liner notes by Todd Everett. THE LONDON SESSIONS were recorded during a tour of Europe in 1960. This album contains highlights from the Judy Garland box set THE ONE AND ONLY. In 1992, Capitol Records released the third disc of its 1991 Judy Garland box set, The One & Only, a disc titled The London Sessions, as a separate album, confusing consumers by adding the phrases "The Best of the Capitol Masters" (which implied the album was a hits collection) and "Selections from The One & Only Box Set" (which implied it condensed the entire set) to the cover; some retailers have mistakenly filed the album under one or the other of those names. This was only the latest in a convoluted history for the recordings enclosed. In 1960, following a near-fatal bout with hepatitis, Garland mounted another comeback by returning to The London Palladium. While in England, she cut 20 tracks with conductor Norrie Paramor, but when she returned home, Capitol Records didn't know what to do with them. Half the songs were ones she had already put out on Capitol, sometimes in the same arrangements. Most of the others were staples of her repertoire; basically, she had just recorded her concert set. Capitol dribbled the material out, putting some of it on singles and culling six tracks for the odds-and-ends album The Garland Touch in 1962. In 1971, all 20 tracks were issued as Judy in London through the Capitol Record Club, a release later reissued through the Capitol Special Markets budget division. The London Sessions is the same 20 tracks, resequenced. But now, they do come across as something of a best-of collection. Garland isn't in her best voice, but her breathy raggedness adds emotional fervor to her renditions. And the material includes some of her signature songs: "Over the Rainbow," "The Man That Got Away," "The Trolley Song," and more, plus some familiar concert favorites. This is a late reconsideration of her standard repertoire, and a masterful one. ~ William Ruhlmann

"Ladies of Show Biz [PA]" (2000) Pop Vocal Garland, Judy, Sony Music Distribution (USA)No, to answer the obvious question, Ladies of Show Biz does not present duet performances by Judy Garland and Carol Channing, each of whom is heard separately on alternate tracks. Rather the collection is the work of a creative compiler at Sony Music Special Products. Every major label must house somewhere in its vast collection stray recordings by major artists that do not add up to a full-length album, and here are some examples. Garland, after leaving MGM Records along with the film studio in 1950, had a two-single (i.e., four-song) deal at Columbia in 1953, after which she gave the label the rights to the soundtrack from A Star Is Born (1954) before departing for Capitol. Channing made one single with Mitch Miller at Columbia in 1951 ("Did I Hurtcha, Burn Ya, Cutcha"/"Meany Meany") after having appeared on the original Broadway cast recording of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in 1949 and before appearing on the 1954 studio cast album for Archy and Mehitabel, a show renamed Shinbone Alley when it ran on Broadway briefly in 1957. This material is the source for a compilation that begins with Channing's performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and ends with Garland's of "The Man That Got Away" from A Star Is Born, with eight long-forgotten songs in between. Garland does her best with such numbers as "Heartbroken," an early lyric of Fred Ebb, who would go on to Cabaret and Chicago. Channing is well-suited to Miller's typical novelty material (including the previously unreleased "The Hottentot Song"), and the excerpt from Archy and Mehitabel, which pairs her with Eddie Bracken, makes you wish that whole album would be reissued. This is not a great collection, by any means, but it's a real find for fans of Channing and/or Garland. ~ William Ruhlmann
