ABOUT THE DISC & RECORDINGS:

Released in 1943, Presenting Lily Mars has become a favorite of Garland fans everywhere. For more detailed information about the making of the film, with tons of photos, check out the special Judy Room Presenting Lily Mars section.

This is the only soundtrack album ever released for Presenting Lily Mars. It's a beautifully packaged gatefold edition with wonderul pictures "from the Garlandia collection of Wayne Martin" (see below) . Martin was the self-proclaimed "number one" Garland fan having collected Garland memorabilia from the time he saw her first screen appearances in the mid 1930's. He was fairly cose to Judy, and even recorded several of their phone conversations. Wayne has since passed away, but several of his phone converstations with Judy have been traded back and forth between Garland fans. His massive collection has since been dispersed to several fans out there.

This particular double album is different from most soundtracks in that not only does it contain all of the songs as recorded from the soundtrack, but also the entire soundtrack complete (dialog and all) from the entire film! This proves to be quite fun to sit back and listen to, even though the film has since been released on VHS and DVD.

The soundtrack to Presenting Lily Mars has yet to be officially released on CD, although most of Judy's pre-recordings can be heard on the Rhino compilation CD "Judy Garland - Collector's Gems from the M-G-M Films", including the outtake finale "Paging Mr. Greenback".

The sound quality on these records is very good. Altogether a beautiful presentation of the soundtrack of this wonderful film.
