ABOUT
THE DISC & RECORDINGS:
Orchestrated and conducted by Gordon Jenkins,
"Alone" was Judy's first and best "conceptual" album. All of
the songs reflect the album's title of being "alone". As does
the artwork.
This album is quite a departure for Judy, who shows
her versatility as a vocalist by performing very bluesy and jazz
infused numbers. If you ever want to show people that Judy Garland
sang more than just "show tunes", this is the album to play.
The 1989
premiere CD release contains a bonus track of "Then You've
Never Been Blue" recorded
on March 6, 1957. The CD quickly went out of print and became
a hot collector's item until the 2002 re-issue coupled with "Judy
In Love".

* 33RPM; World Record Club (U.K. - 1957) #TP-154, as "Alone
