Judy Garland Souvenir Album (also known as Judy Garland Third Souvenir Album) is a compilation album by Judy Garland, released in 1949 by Decca Records.[1]

According to the retrospective AllMusic review, Decca issued this album wanting to take advantage of the new LP format. 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.

Track listing

The album was originally issued in 1949, in at least two formats: as a 33-r.p.m. long-playing record and as a set of four 10-inch 78-r.p.m. records (cat. no. A-671).[2]
