ABOUT THE DISC & RECORDINGS:

This was the only official release of any of Judy's recordings from her short-lived TV series of 1963/64. Released in mono, the record was quite popular with Judy's fans, and an abridged version was released by Capitol/EMI in 1980 (#M-12034).

In the years since, recordings from Judy's series would show up on various "bootleg" albums and CDs, including some produced by Judy's ex-husband Sid Luft. Most of these recordings were of poor quality or highly altered electronically. The series recordings wouldn't get an "official" release by Capitol until 1987 when a few tracks showed up on the "Judy Garland Live!" CD. The best CD compilation of songs from Judy's series is "The Show That Got Away" released in 2001.
