Barbra The First Decade by James Spada
James Spada's mid-1970s book on Barbra Streisand provides a vibrant overview of her career up to that point, covering her film roles through For Pete’s Sake and her music catalog up to Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments. Spada, with his engaging, humorous, and informative writing style, details each of Streisand's albums and movies, supported by reviews, record sleeve and poster art, and insider background. Particularly memorable is the story behind the “Barbra Joan” photo session, showing her with contrasting expressions on the front and back cover. Though it doesn’t cover every unique 45 single or reveal all technical nuances of Streisand's Quadraphonic recordings, the book is packed with rare black-and-white photos and behind-the-scenes glimpses. For Streisand fans, this is a delightful deep dive into her early career.
