Liza Minnelli (album)

Liza Minnelli is a self-titled studio album by Liza Minnelli. Released on February 26, 1968, by A&M Records in the United States, it contains her interpretations of pop/rock and singer/songwriters' songs. The production is by Larry Marks, and unlike her previous albums, this is the first one to depart from her typical Broadway sound and delve more into the contemporary pop genre of the 1960s and the works of singer-songwriters. The main inspiration for this change was her recent marriage to composer Peter Allen, who had a strong affinity for Randy Newman, whose songs are most prominent on this album.

The reception from music critics was favorable. Overall, they noted that the album was light, relaxed, and featured an effervescent performance by the singer, with many considering it Minnelli's best work up to that point. Commercially, it performed poorly, becoming her third consecutive album not to enter the Billboard 200 chart. HiFi Stereo Review magazine named it the best album of 1968. Minnelli received the award from editor William Anderson and critic Red Reed.

Like her subsequent albums released by A&M Records, this album was never released on its own on the CD format, but all tracks, in their original order, are on the compilation The Complete A&M Recordings from 2008.
