Come Saturday Morning (Expanded Edition)

Come Saturday Morning is the fifth studio album by American singer and actress Liza Minnelli. It was released in 1969 by A&M Records, and marked her second project with the label. The record continued the stylistic shift she had begun on her previous album, moving away from Broadway standards toward contemporary pop, soft rock, and singer-songwriter material. The album appeared shortly after Minnelli's breakthrough as a film actress in The Sterile Cuckoo, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Its title song, originally performed by the Sandpipers on the film's soundtrack, was also nominated for Best Original Song at the 1970 Oscars, bringing added attention to the release. Although Come Saturday Morning did not chart, Cash Box reported that it was receiving excellent advance orders in Canada. The album was well received by critics, who praised Minnelli's interpretations of both contemporary material and older standards. In 2008, the complete tracklist in the original order was included in the compilation The Complete A&M Recordings.
