These clips were noticed by the YouTube Grand Wizardry and removed. Grrrrr. Anyone for a repost?

Speaking of Judy Garland, there is an exciting new group on Yahoo called The Judy Garland Experience. The group features dozens of ultra rare audio files, rare photo’s, lively discussions, and more! The extremely eclectic and large membership includes fans of all levels and ages, Garland family members, people who saw, worked, with, and, or knew Judy. Historians, authors, film makers etc. It’s quite the little Judyville, and everybody in the group is extremely nice. Please be sure to stop by and check it out, but be warned, you may never want to leave.

Just got my copy yesterday and took it on my trip to NY. What a great way to drive thru PA in the winter, listening to that voice…the disc 2 stuff is lots of all new info for me, but will soon be on my IPOD. Liner notes very informative She’s a great underappreciated talent that shouldn’t just be a WC secret. Any promo plans?

My copy of Big Judy arrived yesterday - number 2241 of 5000 - and it’s like a dream come true. Packaging and design, liners and track notes by JH, sound quality, all top notch. And a thank you to Keith as well! Nice one. If anyone who’s a JH fan has any hesitation about ordering a copy, squash it and whip out yer Visa card and hie yourself over to Rhino Handmade prontissimo.

So is there any press coming on this? I think it deserves some sort of retrospective sort of media piece in the major organs. I think the Wash Post would be interested. Maybe even the Times. How does that work with these limited sets? Any promo money? Love to see the word get out..

Yes, I know, avarice, greed, the tyranny of market forces, and so on… kind of a drag. Rhino’s giving it their best shot, undoubtedly. (And yes, that Radioactive UK needle-drop-CD of Aldebaran truly is appalling - my old cassette dub of the LP has better sound quality, fer cryin’ out loud.)

Robin,

In the reissue world, it’s all about licensing. Whoever controls Aldebaran is not very liberal with licensing. They may be asking a lot of money for those tracks, and Rhino has to weigh the price of the set vs. the number of copies they can sell vs. the cost of licensing the rest of the tracks, photos, etc. The reissue game is very expensive, especially for collections like this. And from what I can gather, the UK CD of Aldebaran came out through some licensing loophole and isn’t even taken from the master tape… it’s from an LP!

Hopefully the success of Big Judy will pave the way for a full reissue of Aldebaran.

Although… I hafta say… it kinda blows me away that Rhino was able to put this together, and yet still no proper reissue for Aldebaran. Gift horse, mouth, etc.
