Live At The Bon Soir : Greenwich Village, NY | November 1962 (2022)/ Streisand, Barbra

"Barbra Streisand generated a small but insistent degree of show biz buzz with her star-making role in the Broadway musical I Can Get It for You Wholesale when she signed with Columbia Records in 1962. Streisand was drawing crowds and charming critics with her appearances at the Bon Soir, a nightclub in New York's Greenwich Village, and Columbia felt capturing her live show might be a good way to introduce her to a larger audience. As it happened, the Bon Soir's acoustics made it difficult to make a properly balanced recording, and after hearing the tapes Columbia's engineers delivered, the label chose to put Streisand in the studio to create a splashier and more sonically controlled recording. The Bon Soir recordings went into the vault, and while bits and pieces were bootlegged over the years, the projected live album didn't materialize until 2022, when advanced spectral editing technology made it possible to give the tapes a better mix. 60 years after it was recorded."
