JSP Records Will Release 'Judy at Carnegie Hall' Remastered in 2012

JSP Records has announced that they will release a remastered version of "Judy at Carnegie Hall" - the concert that took place on April 23, 1961, and was released as a double album later that year.

The album's original release was number one on the Billboard chart for 13 weeks, and won four Grammy Awards (Album of the Year, Best Female Vocal Performance, Best Engineered Album, and Best Album Cover). With advances in audio technology, however, JSP Records intends to remaster the recording and give it an all-new release in early 2012.

Judy Garland attained international stardom as a master of every venue of show business: film, television, recordings, radio, the concert stage, and even vaudeville. A Grammy, Golden Globe, Tony, and Academy Award-winning artist, Garland was signed to MGM as a teenager - she would go on to star in 30 films with the studio, including the film with which she would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz.

In 1959, Garland was hospitalized with Hepatitis, and told by doctors that she would never be able to perform again. Yet against all odds, Garland came back stronger than ever, and the 1961 Carnegie Hall concert was described by The New York Times as "a tour de force for Garland".

Stars such as Karen Olivo, Heather Headley, and more will also pay tribute to that concert, as previously reported by BroadwayWorld, in a 50th anniversary song-for-song recreation. For more information on the album, visit JSPrecords.com.
