Judy London 1969

[MrMonotomy]

Hi! I was wondering if anybody has the record Judy London 1969, the concert at The Talk of the Town Nightclub, I've only heard Over the Rainbow and San Francisco. I checked a previous thread with a link to download the record, but it had expired.
I looked on the marvelous site: The Judy Room and that record is out of print and hasn't been released on CD. Can anybody kindly send me a link to download it? I really want to hear the full concert.

i have never heard the particular recording you mention, MM ... which was compiled of bits of performances from a number of nights performances during Judy's several week run at the Talk of the Town, was it not?

The yahoo group The Judy Garland Experience often has posted bootleg recordings of individual nights from the Talk of the Town Engagement. that might be a source for you too .. the files are replenished every week, but the TOTT files make a regular reappearance so you won't have to wait long for one night or another to come around again ...

you've probably already looked at this entry from The Judy Room about the fall of 1969 release but here is a link to the material anyway: http://www.thejudyroom.com/discography/ ... n1969.html

Yes, I managed to download Over The Rainbow and The Man That Got Away a year ago, but I lost them while cleaning up my hard drive, and I accidentally deleted the 2 files, the only song I have now is San Francisco. But I remember a thread called Judy's Last Concerts or something and there was a link to that record and others, but was unable to download it due to inactivity.
Thanks for the info, Martha!

Does anyone have this London Talk Of The Town concert or the Copenhagen concert they could upload? I've searched for both for a long time.

I think I have found the Judy in London Tracks! I'll share it with you all later once I get home from school That way you can also let me know if it is indeed the London tracks I have

This is the full album of Judy in London (1969) that I have Enjoy!

(As this is a single RAR file, you will need to extract it using software such as "WinRAR", I'm not sure if Windows is capable of doing it.

rossgmsn, That's great. I'm listening to "Get Happy" right now. Her voices is really very strong. That is terrific! And "Just In Time" is a wonder to listen to - nothing pathetic about her voice here.

To handle the unzipping tasks that Windows cannot do the most recommended unzip software is 7-ZIP
It comes from the volunteers at SourceForge who produce a number of highly regarded open-source (free) software programs.
You can download it at: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
If your a windows user, you are most likely running 32 bit Windows. If you didn't know there are 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows then you are running a 32 bit version.

Thanks, rossmgm!
This is rather the same version I have, but shortened down a bit! And I'd Like To Hate Myself In The Morning opens rather differently than in my version. She says: ''I haven't been taught a new song, since Clive Brookes was a girl!''. And in mine she says: ''I haven't been taught a new song since Irene Dunne tried out for cabaret and missed the part!''. And the audio of the song is from Merv Griffin's TV show from December 1968, the time she started performing at the Talk Of The Town. Also, the notes on the back state that Over The Rainbow was the last song she ever sang. Yes, but she didn't sing it for the final time in London, she sang it for the last time in Copenhagen in March of that year!

Here's the version I have, the complete concert from about January 1969, except with lower sound quality:

Also, as Ross stated, this also is RAR too, so you may want to consider unzipping it or installing WinRAR.

Thanks, rossmgm!

Sorry, But I'm very thick, I don't get either of those jokes! Who's Clive Brookes? And I know who Irene Dunne is (very funny lady) but I don't understand that joke either. Be grateful to anyone who can explain.

[John Fricke]

Clive Brook was a British stage and screen actor, whose credits extended from the 'teens of the twentieth century up into the 1960s.

Long-time British stage and screen historian Ken Sephton (for many years a mainstay of the International Judy Garland Club and long-time editor of its RAINBOW REVIEW) puzzled over that passing reference of Judy's as well. Eventually, he came to recall that, in one of Brook's early 1930s film roles, he briefly appeared in disguise as a female.

With reference to the Irene Dunne quip, I think it's being misheard. It's not CABARET to which Judy refers, but to CAVALCADE -- Noel Coward's stage success and, later (1933) Academy Award-winning motion picture. The latter was filmed in Hollywood, and it's possible that Dunne was up for a role in it; ultimately, the movie was cast with mainly expatriate (for the moment) Britishers in California.

Including Clive Brook!

It's a shame that CAVALCADE has never been released on DVD. It's one of the first big "sweeping epic" type films to win the Oscar for Best Picture. And the cast is great! I always liked Diana Wynyard. We even get treated to a young Bonita Granville!

Thanks very much, mister Fricke/John.

I love Noel Coward as well, I don't know if all his stuff has dated that well. Might be why Calvalcade isn't available on dvd, social attitudes change and certain artists become unfashionable.

[Alice Mayberry]

I love ALL of Judy's "off the cuff" remarks that she made throughout 1968 and 69 when she was about to sing "How Insensitive" or "Hate Myself", I think "Cavalcade" was the dominant one that she used, for much of the time, but a really funny one from a concert of this era is when she says something like "I've not been taught a new song since Baa Baa Baa", LOL, totally random; I never know whether she means the nursery Rhyme "Baa Baa Black Sheep" or what, but it cracks me up every time... She also says in another concert "I've not been taught a new song since "The Covered Wagon", which was a very popular and famous James Cruze silent film that went back as far as 1924!! So obviously Baby Gumm must have seen "The Covered Wagon" when Frank was running the movie house and she still remembered it all those years later, what an incredible memory.
