this is covered in the recent biography, hello gorgeous: becoming barbra streisand by far the best i've ever read on her and, i think, i've read them all. it only goes up to 1964 which is great because other than the albums - and, after her return the tours - i kind of lose interest after that. i honestly can't remember whether capitol had made the investments before she was cast or not - i think so. it's a good question. i'm not sure lieberson "passed" on the album, i doubt he had a choice. if capitol invested early they had dibs. though, i do remember his name coming up repeatedly during this time so i could well be wrong. again this is all covered well in the book and it bothers me i can't remember. there was a lot going on when i read it but i suspect it has more to do with finally having all those brain cells i wasted in the 70s catch up with me. it's motivation to read the book again which was as readable as it was informative.
