[DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen?
Thanks
Sorry
On behalf of Columbia Records, I should like to welcome you here to the live recording session of Barbra Streisand

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
Streisand

[DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken]
Streisand
There's an awful lot that can be said about Barbra but I think that it's superfluous because you're going to be hearing her for yourself
For me and for everyone at Columbia she's a singular artist, you can't put her in any category
She's come full blown on the theatrical scene and wе're honored tonight to be prеsent at her first recording session for her Columbia album
May I introduce, very proudly, Miss Barbra Streisand

[BARBRA STREISAND]
My mother said that babies come in bottles
But last week she said
They grew on special baby bushes
I don't believe in the storks either
They're all in the zoo
Busy with their own babies
And what's a baby bush anyway?

My name is Barbara
