Footnotes

Streisand vocals on tracks 3 (duet) and 10 (solo) recorded on November 22 and 24, 1965; both later included on Just For The Record...

Barbra remembers in Just For The Record: "'House of Flowers' came from the Broadway show of the same name...by Harold Arlen. His album gave me a chance to sing with the man who, in my opinion, is the greatest composer of American music next to George Gershwin."

"Barbra's version of 'House of Flowers' is the most moving, exciting rendition imaginable - and I'm delighted. As for Barbra joining me on this album - I'm gratulant and grateful and an indebted idolater." - Harold Arlen

1993 CD out of print in 1998.
