More Info

These recordings present Barbra Streisand immediately before she famously exploded onto the US 8200;market in 1963, with her first two million-selling Columbia albums.

This unique compilation comprises her 1962 studio recordings in their entirety, viz: her first two singles for Columbia; the ten tracks she sings on from a pair of Soundtrack albums, I Can Get It For You Wholesale and Pins And Needles, also for Columbia; and a 10” demo LP which she recorded for RCA Victor, who (bizarrely) passed on her.

For decades, the RCA demo album represented the “Holy Grail” for 8200;Streisand collectors, as it has never previously been given a commercial release; it is included herein in its entirety, plus outtakes. The first comprehensive collection of her pre-superstardom studio recordings, this is the companion to another forthcoming Streisand/Jasmine release, “BIRTH OF A LEGEND... 1961/62 Live Recordings”
