JUDY GARLAND The Lost Studio Album part 1

Prerecorded tracks from The Judy Garland Show.
Hearing these studio tracks without the added applause from a television audience gives a little idea of what a 1963/64 Garland studio album may have sounded like.
When her show went off the air Judy gave these recordings to her hairdresser, Orval. Many years later Orval gave them to Rainbow's End author Steve Sanders.
Sanders gave them to The Judy Garland Experience, and we are now releasing them out to the world....
Judy sings This Could Be The Start Of Something Big, Aint Misbeahvin', Way Back Home, Tiptoe Thru The Tulips, My Heart Stood Still, Here's That Rainy Day, and Whispering

[@dondelaney2686]

She was worth more than a million Dollars. She was a fine gifted actress and singer. Her voice is spectator.

[@rr7firefly]

+Don -- considering how many billionaires there are these days, I think you should amend your comment to "She was worth more than a billion dollars." A lot of people today live in houses worth 2 or 3 million and Judy was definitely more valuable than a house.

[@terrysmith8749]

Mr.Farmer, When Liza sang with her Mom in London, it was easy to tell them apart. Liza was the one yelling and Judy was the one singing. It seem like everyone wants to compare Liza to her Mom, THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN THE TWO. LIZA ISN'T EVEN IN HER MOM'S BALLPARK. NOBODY IS, TO QUOTE NORMAN MAIN, WHO QUOTED OLD TIME ACTRESS ELLEN TERRY, THE TRULY GREAT HAVE THAT SOMETHING EXTRA ABOUT THEM THAT SETS THEM APART FROM EVERYONE ELSE. AND THAT DESCRIBES JUDY TO A T.

[@kerryincolumbus]

my GOD! her rendition of "Here's that Rainy Day" is the absolute all-time best there ever was, is now or ever will be.. just amazing!!

[@bradly2007]

Judy clearly in sublime form in these amazing tracks & hopefully this will turn in to a major release...always felt Judy grew vocally during tv specials & series, gaining in confidence and she worked really hard to acheive perfection and two dvd box sets of series are a treasure and these recordings sound really fine...Garland is the greatest ever & at her best in the sixties!

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

How wonderful! I have the first box DVD set but sadly, not volume two! 😢 If you know of any way that I could possibly get volume two, I would be eternally grateful to you!🤔♥️💞🤗👍

[@FLBoy46]

40 years ago - when I got my first Judy album (vinyl, of course!), I never dreamed I'd be able to hear such rare recordings. This is so great...THANKS.

[@joecomer8275]

I've heard many people try to sing the beautiful "Here's That Rainy Day", but I'd have to say the best interpretation I've heard to date is Judy"s. And I'd say that even if I didn't she was the greatest singer and overall entertainer that ever lived!!!

[@irishspike]

It was an added thrill because when Orval played them for me, he pulled out the very expensive German-made tape recorder ("the Manchurian Candidate tape recorder") that Judy used to listen to these playbacks in her dressing room. Judy gifted Orval not only with these rare tapes (on 3" reels) but the tape recorder as well, as a parting gift. Neither knew at the time that they would never work, or see each other, again, as Judy's life took a dramatic turn abroad and later upon her U.S. return.

I find it takes a very rare & generous person to be able to give away a very treasured item of these recordings of Judy had made from her TV show by Judy Garland herself. Orval was generous and Mr Sanders was very lucky to have been the recipient these recordings and that he in turned shared them with others through his wonderful book and allowing it to be heard on KZbin. It takes a special person to have it in them, the ability to share something no matter what it is. I thank you!

[@bexd6101]

they should definitely make an entire album of all these and sell it out. I'd definitely buy it :D these are so perfect but then again, it's Judy so what do we expect?

[@bradly2007]

Hauntingly brilliant "Here's That Rainy Day" fine example of the many amazing vocal performances throughout "The Judy Garland Show" especially in those that were Concert Format. Watching these incredible shows now, realize Judy worked hard with results rewarding, watch these brilliant shows often and marvel how Judy's artistry is second to none...

[@gogoyubari366]

She was a beautiful girl who could sing better than any of todays so called artists.

[@bh5606]

..fine talent..tortured soul..it seems...enjoyed her TV show...

[@lenfarmer8279]

Judy was a bundle of nerves shooting this show. CBS obviously wanted it to fail by putting her up against "Bonanza"! Also the recording quality sucked. She had many highlights after this show including her live Cole Porter tribute in 1965 Academy Awards show. She blew 'em away and in 10 minute plus medley, never missing a word.Also her Judy and Liza at the Palladium she was great. She overcame her laryngitis as the concert kept going. In duets it's hard to tell who is Liza and who is Judy.

[@terrysmith8749]

Len farmer,

[@BruceWayneOfOz]

Once again, thank you for these....we can Never get Enough Judy!! ^^X^^

[@ozboy39]

thanks Buzz- these were very special gems as is everything on Judy you have shared with us.

[@christineoconnor401]

The bearded fella with Judy is Irish comedian Dave Allen! He came to Australia often during the 70s and had many specials on Australian TV. He was a very funny fella, very irreverent, doing material that probably wouldn't get put to air today!

[@SaxonC]

Great clip, BUZZ! You always post really wonderful clips with great songs and pictures.. It's always a treat to view your JUDY material! Thank you!

[@BuzzStephens1]

@irishsingeractor the bulk of the songs sung on the Garland show were performed live. Most of the music on the 1962 special was performed live. The only pre-recorded songs were The Man That Got Away and a small section of You Do Something To Me. Most of the music on the 1963 special was performed live (parts of I'm Following You were pre-recorded).

[@mmdillon1]

@Montavanni No need to apologize for your opinion. But just remember, it is YOUR opinion, and most folks simply don't agree with you. For many, her series years were Judy at her best. I've never heard a soul say they found her difficult to look at; on the contrary, she looked spectacular.

[@BuzzStephens1]

@NFitalianGuy Thanks! It's especially fun when the material is new to someone....

[@smead58]

In response to: "She did depend on 'uppers' and 'downers' to keep going (she wasn't alone), but these did not impair her professionalism or integrity as a person and performer." hirchik 2 months ago ------ You would make a good "enabler" but you're out of touch. When you DEPEND on something to the extent she did, IT DOES impair EVERY area of your life. Doesn't take away from her talent and abilities, but does indeed keep you from doing your best consistently. She was ONE of a kind!!!!

Have all of them ever been released on an album? I am sure with modern technology they could be amazing!

[@BuzzStephens1]

@burleq No, you got it right. The major difference is that these are sans applause. Except for Here's That Rainy Day, which was never used on the show. If I am remembering correctly, Judy opted at the last minute to sing the song live, leaving this recording unused.

[@BuzzStephens1]

@BHW722 Actually, if you listen again, you will hear that there is a chorus singing on this version as well. Although maybe a bit less intrusive than on the broadcast version...

[@BuzzStephens1]

@sufferingclown The group is most definitely still there. Use the address in the video or go to yahoo groups and look up The Judy Garland Experience. You can also check it out on Facebook where there is a group AND a page (please "like" it), but the Yahoo group is where you will find the rare audio files.

[@BuzzStephens1]

@BuzzStephens1 However, her 50's specials were a different matter and probably had equal amounts of live and pre-recorded material.

[@tiggerinthewoods7996]

Has anyone pointed out the photo in the montage, of the woman in the black sleeveless dress, enormous hat, and opera length gloves IS NOT JUDY GARLAND, but actually Gypsy Rose Lee?? Judy would have loved this!!!

[@BHW722]

"Here's That Rainy Day" sounds so much better here especially without those annoying background singers that were never needed on the show for Judy's solos.

[@rivaridge7211]

Judy was still marvellous here - if she was slightly off her peak, the vast population probably would have not noticed - or (at least!) might have kept quiet out of respect. Judy had an incredible fan-base which wholly supported her until the very last days of her life. A great many of wonderful entertainers (sadly!) were completely without a free-flowing (financial!) following in his or her last months. Judy still had this - along with a huge amount of love and respect from her steadfast fans besides. She in no way died alone. And this is why after some 46 (!) years we still think of her and her incredible musical legacy. Garland once said that a "true entertainer" could never die - she was spot-on with such an observation.

[@bradly2007]

Judy at her peak throughout "The Judy Garland Show" especially concert episodes near end of series, containing some of the greatest vocal performances of her brilliant career, watch them often and marvel at the greatest singer of them all...

[@MichaelGildin]

I've tried joining that group, but they keep rejecting my requests! It's so frustrating because I'd love to hear these rare songs.

[@rosekelly8585]

is there any more parts available? x

[@russellcandy9850]

Hi Buzz, Around 1983 I was at Tower Records in Times Square. In the bargain bin I found a 3 album set for 1.99 called All of Judy. No liner notes at all except in small print Produced by Side Luft. It is a great set. Made by a company called Mail O Disc. I think all of it came from Judy's show. Can you tell me anything about this great find? Thank you so much for all you do for us Judy lovers!! Your posts are phenomenal!!!!!

[@BuzzStephens1]

Yes, that was a set that was sold via television commercials in the 1970's. Mostly material from the series with sweetened applause. Thank you for the kind words.

[@russellcandy9850]

Thank you so much Buzz!! I could never understand why so much canned applause? Some of it over powers Judy's voice!! I still love the set!! Thanks again Buzz for all you do for the Garland Gang!!!!!!!

[@taliyatofilau6029]

Her singing drowns the others out lol

[@marcballantyne5277]

My understanding is that they only pre-recorded Judy when there were dance numbers or production numbers where it wasn't possible for her to use a hand mic, or where a boom mic would have been too obtrusive. The vast majority of the time she sang live. She was always better when she sang live, with the audience in front of her. Although these pre-recs are of historical interest, they have a certain "canned" quality about them and, in my opinion, they are inferior to Judy's live performances on the show.

[@sufferingclown]

I tried going to the yahoo group listed in the video but it's not there anymore. Can you tell me where it is?

[@ALJarman1]

HighFlyingRaven's comment is sad, but, unfortunately, there's a lot of truth in it.... and shame on the people who should have taken it as their responsibility to nurture and protect the greatest talent ever to be born in the USA. However, HFR, this is most certainly NOT true of Buzz and the good people of the JudyGarlandExperience site. I have visited their site, gratefully, many times, and can only say: why couldn't Judy have had such fine people around her when she and posterity needed them?

[@hellobluebird52]

As Judy said to Liza when questioned about the bad press, let the legend build ! Would she have done as much work if she were happilly working in a boutique in the village , I dont think so. It was all part of what made the legend and she knew it .

[@0526sandy]

sorry Jayee 123 ... unfortunately, it is a well known fact that she became addicted to drugs during her time with MGM. She was approx. 14-16. she put on more weight .. so they gave her more. between the schedule, meds and booze as she got older, it killed her...i miss her still.

[@BHW722]

@BuzzStephens1 So sorry. I must have been really tired and distracted when I heard it. The background singers are very obviously there. But I have to say i like Judy's pre-recorded version much better. She made this song her own like she so often did.

[@jonathankieranwriter]

Glorious Garland. Her harrowing, lifelong problem was horrible management … partly her own fault, but mostly for trusting “authority” figures tasked with protecting her earnings as she achieved, achieved, and achieved-from her slovenly mother to Sid “Race Track” Luft to Fields & Begelman. This is gorgeous music. Who is in charge of Garland’s legacy and able to curate and collate all of this material for the sake of her art and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Even a modicum of smart repackaging, remastering, and marketing would keep her catalogue vast and profitable for ages going forward. All of her children (unlike those of most genuine Golden Era superstars) are still alive as of July 4, 2023, and yet none of them seems to have seized the day to transform her vast body of work into a cohesive enterprise. Maybe one of her grandchildren or great-grandchildren will major in business and law and grab the reins. During her life, Garland made money that would make Bing Crosby, Elvis, and Perry Como blush with envy. Well, those horses are long-dead (nice try, Sid … not really) but Judy’s music is not. Get a clue, Garland heirs. Your granny/great-granny is more timeless than Sinatra, Billie Holliday, Dean Martin and the rest. Do some Judy Work.

[@stephenperretti8847]

That good looking guy is me. I was Judy's muse. She dedicated her Teevee shows to me. Next time you watch the tapes, notice the short but nonetheless heartfelt comments about how she'd be nothing without me! She was a great AND generous gal!

[@infamouscanadiandecomposer]

@@stephenperretti8847 TV? So how old are you now?

[@stephenperretti8847]

@Robert Jennings... It was a joke. If Judy had known me, I'm sure she would have made me her muse. I did, though,( honestly) kiss her after a performance at the Westbury Theater on Long Island, New York. She thanked me. A friend I was with also kissed her that night. When I told the other "Judy kids" four more had the courage to kiss her too! Judy's performance was excellent. I went three times. Her opening act was John Bubbles. Oh,I'm 74. And, personally,I think I'm easily as good looking as the guy in the picture. Smile and laugh today.

[@infamouscanadiandecomposer]

@@stephenperretti8847 I envy you, having seen her live. I'm 59, a little too young to have heard Judy live in concert. If I could go back in time, I would wish that the one-year television show would have been filmed in colour (British/Canadian spelling!), and that the television performances would have been recorded/saved in stereo. She did come to my city, Toronto, twice, when I was a toddler. bob

Who is that drop-dead-gorgeous homosexual with the little beard with Judy smoking the cigarette? Mary!!!!!!

[@The_78_Record_Man]

She approached Capitol Records several times in the late 1960's and told them she was ready to make more records. The man who was Judy's point-of-contact there said they were ready anytime she wanted to. But the problem was that Judy insisted on getting a $1 million advance up front. The man she spoke to told her that there was no way he could ask the Capitol executives to approve that. Her demands went unmet, and her last Capitol recordings were the Lionel Bart songs she recorded in 1964.

[@MrYonexguy63]

alan livingston

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

Why shouldn't she have received a million up front from capital records ? Her 2 - record set from the Carnegie Hall live album sold for $10.95 and was the first 2 record in the world that sold more than a million copies in just the first year!!! this was in 1961, has never been out of print and today is still a best seller! Now tell me mister Livingston, how much did Capitol Records pay Judy out of all that? Poor Judy was used and abused by everyone! At this point in her life (between 1967-1968) she was absolutely alone, homeless, penniless and everyone had discarded her as a major marketable talent. Judy made many people millions . Sadly, she never ever saw any of it and spent her entire life working non-stop in desperation- a mortgaged life.

[@burleq]

Sorry to sound dumb, but what distinguishes these tracks from the TJGS soundtracks, other than the absence of the applause? Was there a "live ambience" added or something like that? Hmm-

she lip-synced?

[@BuzzStephens1]

Only on about a dozen tunes during the run of the series. Most of the time she sang live.

[@willwjl]

I don't think she EVER lip-synced. The whole idea of the show was her doing a "concert"

[@allanfisch]

She had been lip-syncing since Every Sunday!

[@bradly2007]

Most songs on "The Judy Garland Show" were sung live, only a few production numbers were lip-synced, Garland didn't need to with that powerful perfect voice...

[@MMM-rt8xo]

The only time she lip synced was during her opening number and that was only depending on how nervous she felt or how comfortable she was with the song. But 9 times out of 10, she was belting live.

[@devinstevens6714]

Bullshit..she sang live on t.v. always

[@BuzzStephens1]

You are wrong.

[@BuzzStephens1]

Sorry, you both are wrong. Judy mostly sang live, but on her first three specials there were a few prerecorded numbers, and over the course of the season Judy lipsynced to a little over a dozen tunes.

That's a very crude comment "Mrs. Campbell" since it's about someone in a photograph whose name you have to ask about.
