Barbra Streisand: The Ultimate Collection was released by Sony/Legacy in the U.K. in 2010. (U.S. fans generally ordered it online as an import CD.)
The standard edition came in cardboard packaging. The deluxe edition came handsomely packaged in a collector's box with five collectible photographs.
The CD debuted at #8 on the U.K. album charts.
The CD contains previously-released material.
On this album, “I've Dreamed of You” has the long, extended intro (it runs 4:52 minutes compared to its 4:46 running time on Barbra's 1999 album, A Love Like Ours) and “No More Tears” is the same edit as on the album Memories (know as Love Songs in the U.K.)
In 2012 the CD was repackaged as Barbra Streisand: A Woman in Love, The Greatest Hits.
With a new cover, and a re-ordering of the tracks, this May 1, 2012 release did not contain anything different from what was released in 2010.
