Comes Love: JSP Readies Judy Garland’s “The Best of Lost Tracks” with New-to-CD Tracks

July 29, 2015 By Joe Marchese 3 Comments

InlayThis December, JSP Records will revisit the musical legacy of the one and only Judy Garland with a new single-disc collection that draws on a past release while offering new-to-CD material, as well. The Best of Lost Tracks 1929-1959 is based on the label’s 2010 box set Lost Tracks which received international acclaim for its presentation of 100 rare tracks from the late superstar – 55 of which (including her two earliest solo recordings) were previously unissued. This release presents 22 highlights from the box set, selected from all four of its discs: The Decca Tests (1935) and Early Radio (1935-1939); Young Judy on the Radio (1940-1944); The Radio Years (1944-1953); and On Stage (1940-1959) and The Gumm Sisters (1929). In addition, it adds five bonus tracks not on the original box set, four of which are new to CD!

Compiled and annotated (like the original set) by Lawrence Schulman, The Best of Lost Tracks naturally features many of the songs most associated with Judy Garland. “Over the Rainbow” is presented in a July 28, 1942 recording from Command Performance, the Armed Forces Radio Service program. “The Trolley Song” is heard in a recording made for Mail Call, another AFRS program, from May 17, 1944. “The Boy Next Door” was recorded for Armed Forces Radio and Television Service’s Basic Music Library (P Series) also in 1944. “The Man That Got Away” was captured at Long Beach, California’s Municipal Auditorium on July 8, 1955. You’ll also hear a host of other standards on The Best of Lost Tracks, such as Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh’s “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” Jerome Kern and Buddy DeSylva’s “Look for the Silver Lining” and Irving Berlin’s “I’ve Got the Sun in the Morning” from Annie Get Your Gun, the MGM film version of which was originally slated to star Garland. Both of Garland’s 1935 Decca solo test recordings (world premieres on the original box) – Jerome Kern, P.G. Wodehouse and Oscar Hammerstein II’s “Bill” and a medley of “On the Good Ship Lollipop,” “The Object of My Affection” and “Dinah” – are reprised on The Best of.

The five bonus tracks here include “On Revival Day” (1936, from The Shell Chateau Hour), “Goody Goodbye” and “Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead” (both 1939, from two broadcasts of The Bob Hope Pepsodent Show), “Over the Rainbow” (1948, The Louella Parsons Show) and “Stars and Stripes Forever” (1951, Hollywood Party). All of these tracks but “Goody Goodbye” make their first appearance on CD here, and all have been restored and remastered by John H. Haley.

Judy Garland’s The Best of Lost Tracks 1929-1959 follows past JSP releases including Smilin’ Through: The Singles Collection 1936-1947 (2011), The Carnegie Hall Concert (2012), Creations (2013) and The Garland Variations (2015). It’s been produced by John Stedman and remastered by Peter Rynston and John H. Haley. The Best of Lost Tracks arrives at Amazon U.K. on December 4, and you can pre-order below!   In the meantime, you can peruse the track listing below!

    Might I point out that the label DOREMI/HALLOW has kindly given JSP permission to use audio restorer John H. Haley’s remasterings, originally heard on DOREMI/HALLOW’s 2015 set JUDY GARLAND: SWAN SONGS, FIRST FLIGHTS, of the two 1935 Decca tests, that is “Bill” and the medley “On the Good Ship Lollipop/The Object of My Affection/Dinah,” as well as the song, “The Land Of Let’s Pretend,” from a 1929 short? John’s astounding restoration on all those tracks are gems that took months of work, and I am grateful to him and to DOREMI/HALLOW for allowing JSP to use them. John also adjusted the pitch on countless other tracks, and he has made a remarkable contribution to this set. I wish to thank him for his devotion and hard work.

    I had the great pleasure of doing restoration work for this CD, which consists mostly of live Judy Garland radio broadcast material, and it also contains my updated restorations of the two Decca test records. Lawrence Schulman and JSP did a wonderful job of selecting songs from their acclaimed 2010 Lost Tracks set for this one CD distillation, and a number of these tracks were revisited using the latest restoration technology. In addition, I believe listeners will enjoy the five completely new bonus tracks of unusual Garland material. These include what is believed to be the only extant recording of Garland singing one of her signature songs, “Over the Rainbow” with Harold Arlen’s rarely heard but quite beautiful opening verse. A lot of effort was put into making the difficult source listenable so people could enjoy hearing this great rarity. Many of the tracks feature Garland singing with excellent radio bands of the swing era, guaranteed to get your feet tapping.
