Bid for Garland records is rejected
A pair of records made by Judy Garland as a child from her first studio recording session have failed to sell at auction.
The top bid for the acetate discs, recorded in March 1935, was $22,500, failing to reach the minimum amount, Levi Morgan, a spokesman for auctioneer Bonhams & Butterfields, said this week.
The records, which have never been heard in public, feature renditions of four songs sung by 12-year-old Garland in her early vaudeville shows.
Morgan said Bonhams might work with private collectors to broker a deal for the records.
