A collection of 94 tracks, 67 of which are previously unreleased, with 2 discs devoted to the 1960's and 1 each to the 70's and 80's. The material includes recordings from her early nightclub act, award acceptance speeches, homemade tapes, early television appearances, B-sides of singles, outtakes from albums and excerpts from unfinished albums. This version of JUST FOR THE RECORD is packaged in a jewel case rather than a box. Includes 48-page booklet. Compilation producers: Barbra Streisand, Martin Ehrlichman. If ever there were an artist deserving of a box set, it is Barbra. This 4 CD set contains 77 songs, 50 of which are previously unreleased. There are studio, live, demo and duet tracks along with a 92 page illustrated booklet written by Barbra. This set does not disappoint, covering her entire career and is comprehensive enough that the listener feels a strong grasp for the artist's work. The opening song, "You'll Never Know" was recorded on December 29, 1955 at Nola Recording Studios in New York City when Barbra was 13. "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" begins no less than 8 tracks recorded live at The Bon Soir Club in The Village in 1962, which Barbra recalls as some of the happiest nights of her working life. Barbra shows her cultural side on "Hatikvah", featured in "The Stars Salute Israel At 30", an ABC-TV special. This box set is more than a large greatest hits collection; it is a glimpse into the artist's soul by the artist, as Barbra handpicks her fondest recordings for the world to share.
Editorial Reviews ..an absorbing pop-historical document that includes some thrilling vocal performances.. New York Times (01/01/1992)
..a significant document of modern pop-music history ...What stands undiminished is her supreme dramatic command, her ability to take a flowery romantic ballad and make its sentiments seem ineffable, transcendent.. New York Times (09/22/1991)
4 stars out of 5 - ...a thing of wonder over nearly 100 tracks spread over 4 discs covering 1955-'88....the voice is as good as she thinks it is; the duets and forced banter with Judy Garland are spine-chilling... Q (02/01/2000)
