About This Record:
This one-of-a-kind acetate captures Barbra Streisand in what may be one of her earliest known studio performances. Acetates were never commercially released—they were typically pressed in quantities of one or two, meant for review by producers, engineers, or label executives.
“You’ll Never Know” showcases her emerging vocal power and precision, while “I’ve Got No Strings” (from Pinocchio) adds a playful charm and reflects her early stylistic range.
Why This Record Matters:
• Historically significant early Barbra Streisand recording
• Acetates are unique, one-off pressings—this could be the only one in existence
• A rare chance to hear Streisand before the world knew her name
This is an extraordinary collector’s piece for fans of Streisand, vinyl rarities, or American pop vocal history. Don’t miss your chance to own a true piece of music history.
