Judy Garland – The Garland Touch (1962, Capitol W-1710, Mono, Original US Pressing)

"A beautifully preserved copy of Judy Garland's 1962 Capitol album — one of her most intimate and elegantly produced recordings for the label. The Garland Touch showcases Garland at her most refined, delivering a program of standards with the warmth, vulnerability, and unmistakable vocal presence that has made her one of the most beloved performers of the twentieth century. Highlights include 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' 'Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe,' and 'I'm Always Chasing Rainbows' — timeless performances from an artist whose appeal only deepens with time."

This is the original 1962 mono pressing on Capitol (W-1710), with a first pressing dead wax designation (W-1-1710-N1) — a genuinely well-preserved example of a 63-year-old record. 

Why it matters: The N1 designation confirms this is a first lacquer cut from the first pressing run — as early and original as this title gets. For serious collectors this is meaningful provenance and adds one more layer of authenticity to an already well-documented original pressing.

Condition: NM (Vinyl) / NM (Sleeve)

Vinyl is Near Mint — clean, brilliant surface with no visible marks, plays silently. Sleeve is Near Mint — cover graphics vivid and crisp, no splits, no seam wear, no writing. An exceptional survivor for a record of this age — both the vinyl and sleeve present at the top of the grading scale.

Who it's good for: Devoted Judy Garland fans and collectors, anyone building a serious Capitol vocal jazz library, or anyone looking for a meaningful, high-quality gift for the Garland devotee in their life — this is the kind of copy that deserves a proud place in a real collection.
