Judy Garland Souvenir Album (also known as Judy Garland Third Souvenir Album) is the third compilation album by Judy Garland, released in 1949 by Decca Records.[1][2]
According to the retrospective AllMusic review, Decca issued this album wanting to take advantage of the new LP format.[2][better source needed] Since by that time Garland's contract with the record label was moot, the album was made by taking the Judy Garland Second Souvenir Album from 1943, excluding two tracks – "For Me and My Gal" and "When You Wore a Tulip" – and instead adding two newer tracks – the two sides of the singer's 1945 single "This Heart of Mine" / "Love" – at the end.[2]
Billboard gave the album a score of 65 out of 100, indicating a satisfactory reception.[3] According to the magazine the album features a collection of eight songs, some of which were previously released as singles.[3] However, the review notes a lack of enthusiasm and energy in Garland's vocal delivery, with certain phrases lacking drive and expressiveness.[3]
