JUDY GARLAND: LOST TRACKS REVIEW

Judy Garland: Lost Tracks

Friday July 30,2010

By Simon Gage

PROBABLY one for dyed-in-the-wool fans of the great Garland, nearly half of these 103 tracks have never been heard before.

It starts in 1929, when Judy was just seven-year-old Frances Ethel Gumm, and spans the glory years to 1959.

There are versions of old favourites such as The Trolley Song, Swanee and of course Over The Rainbow mixed in with recordings with her sisters, early radio appearances from the Thirties and Forties and the legendary Decca tests (including Shirley Temple’s On The Good Ship Lollipop!) that no one was quite sure existed.

Maybe a bit of a curiosity but Judy never disappoints.

(JSP).

VERDICT 3/5
