Especially the locked groove at the end when Babs hits that high C note.

No they should've squeezed all the tracks on an EP. And given it away with packets of Museli.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑03 Nov 2017, 12:07amEh, I think it should have been twice as long.

Nah, that would have betrayed a large part of the the beauty of the thing. Babs might have agreed, but sis Barbara Streisland would most certainly not. Cousin Barbara Streisand might concur, but that would finish her limited career.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Nov 2017, 12:09amNo they should've squeezed all the tracks on an EP.
