This
record is a perfect example of a low-priced budget release
common in the 1970's and 80's. The covers of these bootlegs,
as shown above, were usually tinted photographs making up
most of the design. The printed cover would then be glued
onto the front of the blank sleeve. The back of this particular
album has the track listing and photos printed directly onto
the sleeve.
The sound quality on this record is pretty bad, sounding
as though it were taken from another worn out LP - probably
the "Hollywood
Is On The Air" LP (another budget release) judging
by the almost identical track listing or perhaps the "Acessor
Pro" album noted below.
This same album, with the exact same tracks as well as back
cover art (this Starcast has a blank white back), and different
front cover art, was released in the 1970's by "Accessor
Pro" as "Judy Garland,
The Rare Early Broadcast Performances"
with the same record/catalog number.
