Customer Reviews

 
Judy Garland Never Sounded Better!!! Rating: 5.0

I have many recordings of Judy Garland from the Capitol Years, but this is in my opinion-(One of Capitol's Best Albums) featuring this Legendary Performer!!! The sound quality is Excellent throughout, on the Studio Recordings as well as on the Great Live Performances! You would swear Miss Garland rose from the great beyond just to make these truly Spectacular Recording Performances!! Her voice sounds so clear and pure throughout all these Wonderful Songs!! Furthermore, the Band and Orchestra accompaniment that were selected carefully for this very Talented Artist, sound so Surprising Modern-it is Truly Amazing, and a Real Treat to Behold! Also, the more rare Garland Songs included in this album are Simply Great-especially, "I'm Old Fashioned", "Then You've Never Been Blue", "It's So Lovely To Be Back Again In London", "Purple People Eater", and "Comes Once In A Lifetime"-All these songs are Superb!! This Two CD Collection of "Judy at the Top of her Form"-is ONE ALBUM that I'll be listening to over and over again, with a True Admiration and Pure Enjoyment!! Yes, I do regard this album Very Highly! So I Strongly Recommend It, as a MUST for all Garland Fans, and for people whom just want to experience 'Excellent Singing' in general!!!


 
over the rainbow Rating: 5.0

Judy opens this fantastic collection with her signature tune 'Over the Rainbow', singing with the raw emotion with which she delivers every song. The collection is made up of her later works and although some argue that her voice has become tired and worn, I believe this is Judy at her best, singing with years of experience behind her, really showing the wide range the woman had. A truly wonderful collection.


 
This classic IS a classic! Rating: 5.0

A wonderful collection of Judy's recordings from Capitol Records covering 1955-1965 and including both American and British studio tracks and live concert recordings as well. Most have been "lifted" from her various Capitol albums, though according to the sleeve notes, some are previously unissued on CD. (Someone much more expert than I will be able to say if this is true or not, no doubt). The recording quality is A1 and it must stand as a lasting testament to the original engineers that such great recordings from a fantastically iconic artist can be heard in their full glory 40 to 50 years after they were made. Classic songs, classic arrangements and orchestras too (Jenkins, Riddle etc.). And Judy? Well, just great! A must I think.


 
Wow! Rating: 5.0

This album is absolutly the best! Judy shines. Her voice cuts deep into you. When she laughs, it's so infectious that you have to join in, even if you don't know what she's laughing at!
Fantastic songs, plus ones that haven't been released on CD before, including the hilarious "Purple People Eater". A must buy for anyone, not just Judy fans.
