4.0 out of 5 stars Good repackaging - but lacks bonus tracks, January 23, 1999

Most Streisand fans already have this box set from its original release in 1991. Columbia repackaged it so it could be displayed in the regular CD bins. Nice job in converting booklet to CD size. But Columbia missed an opportunity to add some bonus tracks to the set - something extra to make it worth while for fans to buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gems, Treasures, and Talk, Talk, Talk......, August 12, 1999

This review is from: Just for the Record (Audio CD)

If you're a Streisand fan, this box set is an incredible, multi-faceted gem. I particularly enjoy the live recordings, home recordings, rehearsal tapes and unreleased tracks. But another Streisand recording with PEOPLE ? EVERGREEN (the rehearsal intro isn't particularly illuminating...) ? and GUILTY ? How about that French version of EVERGREEN? Or an unreleased version of PEOPLE? And how come Streisand completely skips over FUNNY LADY ? I liked some of those songs. And one last complaint: Too much TALK. Acceptance speaches are BORING. Only a few are interesting. And instead of an interview with Gold Meier, I would rather hear Streisand's wonderful live version of TOMMORROW from that same Israel concert.

That's all of my complaints. Good stuff: BELLE OF 14th STREET is here...Another version of the WAY WE WERE...The LIFECYCLES OF A WOMAN songs...

Streisand is truly a national treasure. This collection is a wonderful gift to her fans. Thanks Barbra!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars MASSIVE TALENT!, December 10, 2002

By 

fabio-italy (milan, italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just for the Record (Audio CD)

4 cd's, 30 years of career, lots of unreleased tracks, hard-to-find tunes, live performances, collectors' pictures, liner notes by Barbra...what more can the true Streisand fan ask for...maybe one wish: they would have not chosen that pink colour for the box cover.
But you know...never judge a box by its cover...LOL
Expensive but Unmissable!
