Judy is a studio album by Judy Garland. It was released on October 10, 1956, by Capitol Records.[1] The album was conducted and arranged by Nelson Riddle.[4] The eleven tracks were selected to complement Garland's style, with the pacing set to create a pleasant mood and varied tempo.[4]

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.[4] 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.[5]

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.[6]

In 2024, HDTT release The Alternate "Judy" Album that presents unreleased alternate takes from the 1956 album.[7] 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.[8] The album's rare acetate recordings, owned by designer and collector Raphael Geroni, were meticulously remastered by John H. Haley of Harmony Restorations, LLC.[8]
