Judy Garland CD: The Best of Judy Garland

The Best of Judy Garland

(The Original Recordings)

Double CD
Intersound CDC 1027 (1993)

This is a very nice (and unusual) collection consisting of original MGM pre-recordings, Decca recordings and radio transcriptions from the period 1936-1942. One of my favorite Judy CDs.
