It's
been a great year for Judy Garland "audiophiles"!
First, Rhino Records releases the newly discovered
complete outtake of "Buds Won't Bud"
from Andy Hardy Meets Debutante (MGM 1940)
recorded March 14, 1940 as a part of their "That's
Entertainment!"
CD boxed set.
Then Capitol releases the rare studio version
of "It Never Was You" recorded May
9, 1962 for I Could Go On Singing (United
Artists/Barbican 1962), as well as an alternate
take of "Why Was I Born?" recorded
on August 3, 1960 in the now famous "London
Sessions". Both included on the new CD "The
Essential Judy Garland".
But these two records have got to be the
greatest Garland audio find of all time!
Two of the long lost Decca recordings that
Judy made on March 29, 1935 at 12 years old.
A third recording made that day, "Moonglow",
by Judy and her sisters, is still lost. See
the press release below for the story of
how these records were found.
The record on the left is Judy performing "Bill",
the record on the right is Judy performing
a medley "On The Good Ship Lollipop/The
Object Of My Affections/Dinah". Judy's
mom Ethel accompanies her on piano.
The auction is set to take place in Los
Angeles, CA on Sunday, December 17, 2006.
The records are given an estimated value
30k to 40k (U.S. Dollars). We'll keep you
updated on what happens next!
