I agree about the shoes/socks, Besty. I can't remember exactly, but I know there was some weird issue with the shoes (although, that doesn't explain the socks at all.)

I know this sounds awful, but they really didn't do much with Dorothy in general - they were really focussed on the character make-ups (these people rival Star Trek fans, if you know what I mean )

A DEAR friend of mine made some of those costumes! She asked to to help out a few years later for the tribute to Jack Pierce, and we did re-creations of the famouse movie monsters.

That was the first time I met Rick Baker (and almost pooped my pants!)

Diva - "It's a Small World After All"!

The TinMan was involved with the Jack Pierce tribute, as well (and so was the man who was the Scarecrow in the OZ tribute.

She did a great job on those costumes!

This is, like, the gayest thread EVER.

Those album covers are indeed amazing. Frank Sinatra did a clown painting cover around that same period, too. (I think it was "Only The Lonely"?)

There was a show on A&E the other night about Garland and it made me think I should go out and buy her Carnegie Hall cd. Amazingly, even as a card-carrying homo, I don't own a SINGLE Garland album.

Well, that's the one to start with.

Try to listen to it in one fell swoop. You'll never be the same.

I definitely only own Carneige Hall on LP. One thing that confuses me though, why are Sides 1&3 on the same LP? Why not 1&2 and 3&4?

So you could line them on on the stacker and play 2 sides before turning them over.

You would play Side 1 and then Side 2 would drop down, then you'd turn them over and play sides 3 and 4.

You're making me feel ancient, Husky.

I love this thread too and LorigsGuy you MUST buy the Carnegie Hall recording. It is an essential Garland recording!

PJ---Thank God you answered Husk's question about the LPs, because I sure couldn't have done that.



As for the gayest thread ever? Damn, it would be a photo finish around here!

As for "Carnegie Judy," LoringsGuy---It took me a while to warm up to her when I was a youngin. I wanted "hopeful, young, aspiring Judy"... not "old, tired, struggling Judy." I didn't get it.

As I got older, and more tired, and struggled a bit with life, I related more to the "history" in her voice. The best part is hearing her rise above that history. When that tiny lady squares off and belts to the rafters, you begin to think you can overcome your "hard knocks" right along with her. It's very uplifting and emotional when you can connect with her on that personal level.

But I understand why younger folks can't do it, just yet. I couldn't either... once upon a time.

God, Besty, what does that SAY about me?!? I went straight from 16yo Judy singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" to sitting in the dark for HOURS sobbing along with the Carnegie recording - do not stop, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

Actually, now that I think about it, it all makes sense.

Fortunately, through the years, I've filled in the gaps.

This is a cover off a recent compilation CD. I really like the picture - very 'touched by God'.

And Besty, that made me chuckle - mostly because it was so true!

That second picture of her on the first post is amazing. It's my desktop now.

I want the Carnegie CD.

I went from being 6-7 listening to "Wizard of Oz" to being 8 and listening to Judy and Liza at the Palladium.

"Judy and Liza at the Palladium."

One of my faves, ever - and now it's been released on DVD!

When I was 10 I thought that the album title "Judy and Liza Live at the Palladium" meant that they were living there.

I wasn't stupid. I thought it was a metaphor or some sort of cosmic statement, like "We all live in a yellow submarine" except that Judy and Liza didn't live in a submarine--they lived at the Palladium.

The magic of Judy Garland was a 6-LP (!!!!!) compilation of Judy's Capitol recordings--the studio recordings and cuts from all the live albums including the rare Garland at the Grove.

I practically inhaled it as an adolescent.
