Judy Room Spotlight on Meet Me in St. Louis Section

Meet Me In St. Louis
ABOUT THE DISC & RECORDINGS:

This is the second volume of the new series of "homemade" albums compiled and remastered by myself with some help from friends of The Judy Room.  All volumes will be complete albums of previously unavailable soundtracks.  Some will be expanded editions of soundtracks that were previously available, but not in a complete format. 

Each volume will be done in the style of those 1970s M-G-M Records "Those Glorious MGM Musicals" double LP record sets that so many of us enjoyed, and will focus on two or three films or, as in this case, one film.  Other volumes will be themed compilations.  In each case, we’ll include as much material as possible.

This series is the result of the question, "What if M-G-M Records had expanded their popular “Those Glorious MGM Musicals” soundtrack series to include complete soundtracks to musicals previously unreleased by the label?"  M-G-M Records released their first soundtrack album in 1947, well after many of the studio’s greatest musicals had been made.  This left a void in their catalog.  Some tracks from those pre-album films popped up on various compilation albums over the years, yet the label did not produce any complete soundtracks.  When Rhino Records took over the catalog in the 1990s, they did provide several previously unreleased soundtracks, to the delight of soundtrack lovers everywhere.  Even so, several films still didn’t make the cut and after some “glory years” Rhino Records ceased production of this series.
