Barbra Streisand’s 1962 series of performances at a Manhattan nightclub before she became a superstar has been remastered and will be released this fall.
Barbra Streisand — Live At The Bon Soir includes three nights of songs performed at the Bon Soir nightclub in Greenwich Village. Those meetings led to the singer’s first record deal.
Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings announced Friday that the remake will be released on November 4.
The performances were originally intended to be Streisand’s first album, but many of the songs were redone as studio recordings and released in 1963 as her Grammy-winning self-titled debut.
Streisand kept the recordings in her personal collection, and she approved the release after engineer Jochem van der Saag used technology to improve the quality of the recordings, according to the press release.
The nightclub’s acoustics were not suitable for professional recording, but modern technology allowed Mr. Van der Sarger to distinguish Streisand’s vocals from instrumental sounds.
Friday’s announcement said the release will allow listeners to “witness 20-year-old Streisand at the dawn of her unparalleled career.”
“I never even went to a nightclub before I sang,” Streisand said in a statement, noting that the release came 60 years after the Bon Soir meeting.
