In March 1962, Streisand auditioned for RCA Records by recording nine songs, pressed on a 12-inch acetate record. Marty Gold, called 'one of RCA's yeoman house arrangers,' accompanied Barbra on piano.

The demo includes Barbra's version of a song Shirley Temple sang in a film called Captain January. Written by S. Mitchell and L. Pollack, 'At the Codfish Ball' has never been recorded by Barbra; although she did confess that in preparation for 2003's The Movie Album, she was considering recording a medley of Shirley Temple songs.
