THE COMPLETE DECCA MASTERS (PLUS) (1994)

THOUGH HER ELECTRIFYING VITALITY WAS EVEN MORE POTENT IN LATER YEARS, GARLAND WAS ALREADY A COMPELLING PERFORMER WHEN SHE CUT ''SWING MISTER CHARLIE'' IN 1936 AT 14. THIS FOUR-CD SET, COVERING 1936-47, MIXES CLASSICS LIKE ''OVER THE RAINBOW'' AND ''ZING! WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART'' WITH RARITIES OF MARKEDLY UNEVEN QUALITY. (JUDY GARLAND, 1936- 1942-AVAILABLE BY MAIL ORDER FROM CDS, 800-323-5299-OFFERS HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SAME ERA IN MORE VIBRANT SOUND.)
