CORRECTION! The folks at Warner Home Video contacted me and clarified that these discs are not “made on demand” as assumed. They are manufactured on the same high-quality Blu-ray discs as the label’s non-Archive Blu-ray releases. Also, the contents of the disc are the same as the original 2011 release:
The beloved Judy Garland musical classic returns to Blu-ay with the same sparkling 1080p HD presentation and scintillating special features, but now wrapped up in gorgeous period artwork. Judy Garland stars in a timeless tale of family, captured with warmth and emotion by director Vincente Minnelli. The enduring popularity of Meet Me in St. Louis comes from a terrific blend of music, romance and humor with co-stars Margaret O’Brien (awarded a special Oscar® as 1944’s outstanding child actress) and Mary Astor, and also the musical classics “Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis,” “The Trolley Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Special Features: Introduction by Liza Minnelli; Audio Commentary by Garland Biographer John Fricke with Margaret O’Brien, Composer Hugh Martin, Screenwriter Irving Brecher and Barbara Freed-Saltzman; Lux Radio Theater Broadcast (Audio Only); Music Only Audio Track.
