Yentl: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition celebrates the Platinum-certified soundtrack to the film for which Barbra Streisand made history as the first woman to direct, write, produce, and star in a Hollywood studio movie. The upcoming 40th Anniversary Edition features the original album on the first CD and a bonus disc of 15 tracks, nearly all previously unreleased. The centerpiece of this disc are nine demos recorded in Streisand's living room with composer Michel Legrand on piano. (Alan and Marilyn Bergman provided the lyrics.) These intimate performances were recorded on a cassette deck, with the star-writer-director providing narration to introduce each song. Other bonuses include previously unreleased studio versions of "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" and "Several Sins a Day," the single version of "Papa, Can You Hear Me?," the reprise of "This Is One of Those Moments," the performance with Rabbinical chorus of "Where Is It Written," and the original End Titles. Barnes and Noble will exclusively carry the expanded Yentl vinyl.
