JGDB: Collecting Judy Garland Records and CDs

To buy Judy Garland CDs, visit the Judy on CD page right here on the Judy Garland Database. Be sure to visit the Judy on CD page to see the most comprehensive list on the web of CDs, both in and out of print. Also see the Music Links page where you will find links to online stores that stock a wide variety of Judy's CDs as well as links to other places on the web where you can find MP3s and other music accessories.

For records, and CDs that are out of print, pick up a copy of Discoveries at your local news stand, or one of a number of similar publications devoted to classified ads of used records for sale. And there is an ever-growing list of music sources on the Music Links page, accessible from the Judy Garland's Music page here on the Judy Garland dataBase. There are lists of most of Judy's CDs and records right here on the Judy Garland Database, accessible from the music page.

Keep an eye on your local music stores. Check their special-order catalogs. Keep an eye on the Compact Discs Page and the Music Links Page here on the Judy Garland dataBase. I'm attempting to list all Judy Garland CDs there! The market for Judy's CDs is a specialty market - titles come and go almost overnight. I'm sure the market saturates quickly, so many titles go out of print within a few months after release. When you see one - buy it! You may never see it again. You should be aware that there is a lot of duplication of Judy's material on CDs. Before you buy a CD, you may want to find out what's on it - you may already have all of the songs on other CDs. Of course, some people want to collect them all, so you may want to buy duplicates anyway.

Another up-and-coming source for Judy's music is MP3s and online radio. MP3 is a digital file format, which has gained acceptance by a wide variety of music hardware manufacturers. MP3 files can be downloaded from the web, played on your computer, and off-loaded to portable MP3 players, allowing you to take the music with you wherever you go! And if you have a CD writer on your computer, you can even make your own CDs! Keep an eye on the Music Links page for new developments in the digital music marketplace!

Most of Judy's original records are listed here on the Judy Garland Database. These lists are accessible from the Judy Garland's Music page, and are broken down by label - Decca, Columbia, MGM and Capitol. Many other labels have released albums of previously released material. I haven't attempted to list those records - several collectors have told me they have more than 700 records in their collections! Mark Harris, webmaster of the Judy List and associated web site, is building a complete discography including all reissues and compilations. You will find links to his works on the Music Links page, as well!
