Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
The years 1975-1988 contained big successes for Barbra Streisand, though she ran through an unsteady gauntlet of disco-fied pop and pseudo-Broadway show stoppers. This collection, originally released in 1989, brings together the hits of those years--like the two Barry Gibb duets, "What Kind of Fool" and "Guilty"--in a range of production scenarios utilizing the talents of Rupert Holmes, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Phil Ramone, Dave Gruisin, and others. The two new recordings added to begin and end the package, "We're Not Makin' Love Anymore" and "Somewhere," serve as bookends of the dance and ballad style Streisand revolved around throughout her later career. --Stephen M.H. Braitman

5 out of 5 stars Streisand collection at it's best   October 16, 2008
D. Johnson (Hurricane central, USA)
This is a great compilation of Streisand's best. 'All I ask of you' is my favorite, and the reason I ordered. I am enjoying all of the hits on this album and will for years to come.


4 out of 5 stars As an album, this is a good collection...   January 22, 2008
R. Graff (South Windsor, CT United States)
Many people criticize this Barbra Streisand album because it is not a Greatest Hits collection in its truest sense. True, there are many songs that shouldn't have been omitted that have been ("A Piece of Sky," "Till I Loved You," and "No More Tears" to name a few), and some songs included that shouldn't have been ("By the Way" is probably the best example). But if you take out of consideration that this is supposed to be greatest hits, the collection of songs here are fabulous.

First off, this is a better album to buy than Memories, because not only are "Memory" and "Coming In and Out of Your Life" on here, but so are two other new songs, as well as "The Main Event/Fight," previously only available on the soundtrack, as well as all the big hits from Guilty. But even so, the songs here all sound great together, and they are all some of the greatest tracks of her career, even if they weren't top ten hits on Billboard. As for the two new tracks, "We're Not Making Love Anymore," is a pretty ballad (probably cut out from her last album at the time Till I Loved You), with great vocals and a catchy score. And "Someone That I Used to Love," another possible song recorded for Till I Loved You, is not as good, but still a gentle and emotional song.

Basically, if you are looking for a greatest hits collection for her 80s period, you will be disappointed, since many of these songs weren't hits at all. But if you want a mixed bag of Barbra Streisand songs to see if you'll like her, this is perfect.

This is a good collection of some of my Streisand favorites. I already had this in cassete form and chose to replace it with a CD.
