ABOUT THE DISC & RECORDINGS:

This LP is the first of two known times that the soundtrack to Till The Clouds Roll By (1946) was paired with the 20th Century-Fox soundtrack to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) (the second pairing is here). Fox did not have their own soundtrack division, so M-G-M Records stepped up and released the soundtrack. It appears on many of the "two-fer" and other series with a variety of other non-Garland M-G-M Soundtracks throughout the 1950's, 60's, and 70's.

Due to the time constraints of the mid-50's "long playing" records, this LP leaves off two numbers from the Clouds soundtrack: "Till The Clouds Roll By" and "Ol' Man River". Obviously, MGM was wise enough to keep the two Garland tracks as a selling point. Which is also obvious by Judy's placement in comparison to the other Clouds stars on the album cover artwork.
