ABOUT THE DISC & RECORDINGS:

"Judy In Love" was Judy's first album to be recorded and released in stereo. Previously, the only stereo recordings Judy had made were the M-G-M pre-recordings and the pre-recordings for the soundtrack to A Star Is Born (1954). None of these were released on record. The M-G-M pre-recordings were mixed to make balanced mono tracks for the films, and the A Star Is Born soundtrack was released on record in mono. None of these would be released in stereo to the public until the late 1980's and throughout the 1990's.

"Judy In Love" is the opposite in theme from her previous album, "Alone" in that it focuses on more upbeat songs about, obviously, being in love.

Also released in mono format, the mono and stereo versions of "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart" are different takes. Oddly enough, "Judy In Love" did not hit the charts, as most of Judy's albums did.
