Streisand and Holmes recorded eight new Broadway tunes with a 60-piece orchestra at the MGM/Lorimar studios in Culver City. Barbra described it as “a cavernous soundstage at the old MGM Studios.”
Only four have been released: “You'll Never Know,” “Warm All Over” and “You’ll Never Know” — all on 1991’s Just for the Record. And "How Are Things in Gloca Mora/Heather on the Hill" appeared on Release Me (2012).
Some believe the vocals and song selections from this 1988 session are superior to what ended up on Streisand’s 1993 Back to Broadway album. Rupert Holmes, in his 2003 interview with Barbra Archives, offered his ideas as to why Barbra abandoned the songs.
The sessions with Holmes were videotaped because of the enormous size of the MGM studio—Holmes needed to see Streisand, in the recording booth across the stage, while he conducted the orchestra. Rupert Holmes told Barbra Archives:
"She was so far away from me, the remedy I came up with was to have a TV camera in the vocal booth ... I had a huge monitor by me so it was better than having her stand right next to me. I could see her face so closely so we were able to cut off [the orchestra] correctly."
Barbra released Till I Loved You instead of Back to Broadway in 1988. The Broadway Album sequel arrived five years later.
