JUDY GARLAND: LIVE AT THE CURRAN THEATRE, SAN FRANCISCO, CLOSING NIGHT, JUNE 22, 1952 This release of the final night of the 1952 Curran Theatre run of shows (May 26-June 22, 1952) is based on a new high-resolution restoration of a set of transcription discs fortuitously found in pristine condition, digitized with the best choice of stylus and carefully pitch-corrected. This show was undoubtedly originally recorded on tape, from which several sets of discs were then cut, including the source discs used here. Added to it is a selection of radio recordings from 1942-46, inclusive, from disc sources in fine condition, and as a bonus, a brief live recording of Garland’s spoof of Marlene Dietrich’s singing. Garland’s portion of this vaudeville show is presented complete, including all dialogue and audience interaction between musical selections.

Artists: Judy Garland – Vocals, with Jack McClendon (track 10), and with her “Boyfriends,” tracks 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 (Hal Bell, Jack Boyle, William Lundy, Bert May, Jack McClendon, Hamil Petroff, Jack Regas, Ricky Riccardi);
Orchestra under the direction of Jack Cathcart

Recording Info: Recorded live at the Curran Theatre, San Francisco on June 22, 1952 (closing night of the four-week run), recording engineer unknown. High-Resolution transfer from original transcription discs, as well as restoration and remastering by John H. Haley, Harmony Restorations LLC (2025) at 192 kHz, 24 bits.
