Come Saturday Morning is the title of Liza Minnelli's second studio album for A&M Records. Released on February 1, 1969 in the United States, it contains the title track, which is taken from the movie The Sterile Cuckoo. In 1970 it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Minnelli herself won a nomination for her acting performance, the first of her two for Best Actress. The rest of the compositions are the same mix of mainly then-current pop/rock and singer/songwriters songs with a couple of Broadway/Vaudevillian songs that made up the previous album.

Album information
As she did with Liza Minnelli, when she recorded her second of three albums for A&M Records, Minnelli mostly chose to pick her songs by late 60s and early 70s pop/rock and singer/songwriters. She recorded this album in Los Angeles during approximately three different sessions on August 8th, 29th and 30th 1968, with a subsequent retake session in Manhattan. Much like her other Capitol and A&M albums, "Come Saturday Morning" failed to sell or chart.
