This 1970s
bootleg album is the only "soundtrack album" released for these
two films.
Obviously recorded directly from the soundtrack of the the actual
films, the sound quality is "iffy" at best. Interestingly,
only side one with the songs from Pigskin Parade are
separated out into tracks. Side two (Everybody Sing)
is not separated out, playing as one long track. There are no
track listings anywhere on the album. The back of the album is blank.
Pigskin Parade is Judy's first feature film, and the
only time during her 15 years at MGM that she would ever be loaned
out to another studio (20th Century-Fox). Judy filmed her scenes
and recorded her songs for the film during the months of August
& September, 1936. Judy recorded and filmed "It's Love
I'm After", "The Texas Tornado", & "The
Balboa".
She also recorded "Hold
That Bulldog" but
it was cut from the lineup and never filmed. It can be found
on.
The pre-recording of "The Texas Tornado" in on the Rhino CD "Judy
Garland In Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits" (R275292 released
in 1998
and still
available). The pre-recordings of "The Texas Tornado" and "It's
Love I'm After" are on the 1997 Smithsonian/BMG boxed set "Star
Spangled Rhythm" (BMG Special Products RD 111 DMC 4-1450).
