      • Judy is the fifth studio album by Judy Garland, released on October 10, 1956 by Capitol Records. The album was conducted and arranged by Nelson Riddle. The eleven tracks were selected to complement Garland's style, with the pacing set to create a pleasant mood and varied tempo.
      Billboard magazine review praised the album's cover and predicted that, with Garland’s ongoing stage and club success, the record would likely attract significant sales. In November 24, 1956 the album peaked at number 2 on the Billboard "Pop Albums Coming Up Strong" and number 9 in the monthly "Pop Vocals" albums chart.
      When the album was released on CD in 1989, "I'm Old Fashioned" (Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer) was added as a bonus track. The song title of track 8 was corrected to "Maybe I'll Come Back," credited to Charles L. Cooke and Howard C. Jeffrey.
      In 2024, HDTT release The Alternate "Judy" Album that presents unreleased alternate takes from the 1956 album. Garland recorded these versions under challenging conditions due to a respiratory infection, affecting some of the takes’ vocal quality, which were later replaced in the final release. The album's rare acetate recordings, owned by designer and collector Raphael Geroni, were meticulously remastered by John H. Haley of Harmony Restorations, LLC.
