Footnotes
- Recorded and mixed at 11 L.A. and 2 NY studios.
- Barbra remembers in Just For The Record: "'Here We Are At Last'...I'd originally written the melody as a theme for The Main Event, but put it on the shelf after recording an uptempo song, which was more appropriate for a comedy. Eventually, my friend Richard Baskin put lyrics to it, and the song found a home on my Emotion album. The melody for 'Here We Are At Last' underscores a bar scene in Nuts."
- Track 1 background vocals by The Pointer Sisters. Read
songwriter Peter Bliss's memories.
- Limited edition album picture disc released.
- Still unreleased from these album sessions: "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?" and "When The Lovin' Goes Out Of The Lovin'."
