5.0 out of 5 stars Rediscovering Barbra, August 19, 2006

By 

Blueskygal (Tucson, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

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

I am wowed by this 4-disc set. It is a wonderful career retrospective with a generous selection of songs from the 60s (2 discs), 70s, and 80s. Also comes with a beautiful booklet that illustrates the career history.

There are many songs never heard on this album that are excellent. No cast offs here, just great stuff. I particularly enjoyed the songs recorded at the Bon Soir -- you feel as if you are there. One can see why Barbra caught fire -- this great voice and a wonderful New York personality -- and an infectious giggle. She was the real deal and bursting with life. No wonder people loved her. A breath of fresh air.

My favorite disk is the 70s and the song "The Singer" which was never released. There is a duet with Burt Bacharach and some wonderful renditions of 70 classic songs.

Woven in with the music are award ceremonies and the famous line "Hello Gorgeous" when Barb accepted her oscar with Funny Girl. Even original Funny Girl performance live on stage. The kid is giving it all she's got even if her technique wasn't perfected at that point.

This is a wonderful retrospective on Streisand's record breaking career and a must have for any fan or newcomer to "The Greatest Star."

What a grand collection this is of the legendary Barbra Streisand, full of unreleased verisons of Barbra's classics, landmark events in her career, unreleased studio and live tracks, original demo recordings, TV appearances, never-before-released show tunes, live nightclub performances, award nights and duets with Judy Garland, Ray Charles, Neil Diamond and more. This collection is approximately 4 hours long all together, it comes with a collector's book of rare photos and a song-by-song personal commentary by Barbra. "Just For The Record" covers every song that had a important impact in Barbra's career up to the point of releasing this boxset. The collection includes Barbra's first song that she recorded at 13 years old called "You'll Never Know". It also includes live songs from her first appearances on TV shows such as "The Ed Sullivan Show", "The Johnny Carson Show", "The Judy Garland Show" and many more. It also includes Barbra winning the best actress Oscar for "Funny Girl" and winning the Oscar for best song "Evergreen" which she wrote. It includes Barbra winning the 1965 Emmy for "My Name Is Barbra", Barbra singing "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with Neil Diamond at the 1980 Grammy Awards. This collection also includes Barbra's famous songs most of them live versions like "A Sleepin' Bee", a live solo version of "Happy Days Are Here Again", a live "Cry Me A River" and many many more that Barbra is known for. Demos include "What Are Doing The Rest Of Your Life (duet with: Michel Legrand), "Evergreen", "Papa, Can You Hear Me?", "The Moon And I", "A Piece Of Sky" and even a score from "Nuts" that Barbra composed herself. This is a must, a absolutely for any Barbra fan.

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

This collection is a must have for any one who considers themselves a true Barbra Streisand fan.
From the beginning of her career to the height of the eighties, it's all here.
Truly one of the best gifts I have ever received.
There is NO one like Ms. Barbra Streisand - No One!
