DRG will release the "complete" "Judy Garland At The Grove" on CD (for the first time!) on
January 22, 2008.

"Judy Garland At The Grove" was the first official live Garland album ever released. It was recorded August 5, 1958 during Judy's final performance of her run at the Coconut Grove in the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, CA - with Freddy Martin and his Orchestra. By this last night, Judy's voice was suffering severe fatigue - but she's still wonderful! If Capitol had recorded the opening night's performance on July 23, 1958 it would have made for a better representation of Judy's appearance at the Grove, which garnered rave reviews.

Two tracks not included on the LP ("Day In, Day Out" and "I Can't Give You Anything But Love") were included in Capitol's 1991 boxed set "The One And Only" as was the complete version of "When You're Smiling" (The LP version was edited because Judy's microphone picked up feedback halfway through her performance - this was rectified with modern technology).
[CORRECTION: It's actually the "Overture" that is incomplete on the original LP - "When You're Smiling" is complete on the LP, the liner notes on "The One And Only" are incorrect.]

Five tracks were included in the the 2002 compilation "Classic Judy Garland - The Capitol Years: 1955 - 1965" ("Day In, Day Out"; "I Can't Give You Anything But Love"; "Purple People Eater", "When The Sun Comes Out"; and the previously unreleased "Do It Again").
