Barbra Streisand – Great Successes (AMIGA, GDR, ca. 1978)

This East German edition of "Barbra Streisand – Greatest Hits" brings together some of the most famous songs by the exceptional American artist. The compilation presents Streisand's unmistakable voice in all its range – from soulful ballads to dramatically orchestrated pop songs.
Released on the East German label AMIGA , which only released Western pop music in selected licensed series, this LP is an interesting historical document and at the same time a musically high-quality collector's item.

Historical background

Barbra Streisand is one of the most awarded singers in music history – with a career spanning over six decades. In East Germany, access to Western pop music was severely limited, which is why AMIGA licensed releases like this one became highly sought-after collector's items.
The selection on this LP reflects Streisand's early period at Columbia Records and shows why she quickly rose to international superstardom.
