moments. And Judy Garland in Hollywood is a near-perfect retrospective of her classic vocals for The Wizard of Oz, For Me and My Gal, Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade, and numerous other celluloid musical favorites. She swings on tunes like "The Trolley Song" (from St. Louis), and on A Star Is Born's "Gotta Have Me Go with You," she shows the vocal finesse and maturity of her later years. Of the 23 cuts, there's not a single dud, and the sound quality is excellent. Few collections more accurately show a career from start to finish: on "The Texas Tornado," we hear a 14-year-old girl brimming with confidence and bounce, but by 1962's "Little Drops of Rain," Garland's pacing has slowed, her voice more full-throated and autumnal. A great set. --Jason Verlinde
part of an aesthetic unique to the 20th century that has reached over the rainbow to become timeless in the 21st century. The core of her significance as an artist remains her amazing voice and emotional commitment to her songs rather than her troubled personal life and what is celebratory about Judy Garland is the power she continues to evoke in audiences today. Her ageless appeal, her sincerity, her humour, her passion and compassion as a performer have led to what the National Observer once defined as her "eternal fame" - her songs will live forever.This superb collection brings together for the first time all her best-known tracks from the movies that propelled her voice and her fame into the stratosphere. From her signature song, the incredible ballad "Over the Rainbow" to the up-beat "There's No Business Like Show Business" from the MGM favourite "Annie Get Your Gun", this collection is bound to become a firm favourite.
Advantages: Some great Judy Classics Disadvantages: Sound tone not as clear as hoped for
...Yet another 'Classic' Judy.
When you can hear her young voice you can get some rawness in her renditions, these small nuanices add to the magic that is a young maturing Judy.
Listen with closed eyes as you can also hear happiness in her expert delivery of some great classics.
This album also helps portray the 'long life' Judy had as singer, she was so young, she was so punished by those who should have looked after her.
To think this talanted young person was used mainy as a vessel for studios to make money, she died young because of this.
Another album we lovers of Judy must have in our collection
It seems Judy is getting a new awarness, lets hope we continue to see more re-released and remastered recordings....

Advantages: A good mixture of movie songs and Decca Recordings Disadvantages: It is just another Garland compliation
...JudyGarland's career spanned 45 of her 47 years. From the age of two when she ran out on to the stage of her parents' theatre yelling " I wanna sing some more" till she died from a barbiturates overdose in London, she dedicated her life to entertaining people and in that she succeeded. She gave hundreds of Vaudeville performances with her two sisters, starred in 32 feature films (18 of these in ten years), had her own TV show, gave over 1100 live performances between 1951 and 1969, and recorded over a hundred singles. Now of course they aren't all featured on this album but with three discs and 60 songs, "The essential JudyGarland" covers the 1930's and 40's. It's jammed packed with classics, written by classics, the Gershwins', Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Arlen and Freed, and Roger Edens.
This three-disc compilation is great...
