"I'm not a hardcore Judy Garland collector, so I can't compare this greatest hits package to other releases, but it does seem to include most of the "biggies" from all stages of her career and a slew of songs I never heard of but was glad to get acquainted with. Of course there can always be room for more on these "essential" collections, but like I said, as a casual listener I'm very satisfied. And for 60 songs on three CDs, the price ain't bad, especially for an import.
