ABOUT THE SINGLE

Columbia Records released this single/duet from Barbra Streisand’s Love Like Ours album in Europe and Australia, skipping the U.S. market.



Several versions were released:



Columbia Records Europe EP CD #667801-1 



  1. If You Ever Leave Me (Duet with Vince Gill)
  2. Just Because



Columbia Records UK EP CD #668124-2



  1. If You Ever Leave Me (Duet with Vince Gill)
  2. Just Because
  3. Let's Start Right Now 



Columbia Records Australia EP CD 667914-2



  1. If You Ever Leave Me (Duet with Vince Gill)
  2. Just Because
  3. Let's Start Right Now
  4. At The Same Time



The U.K. EP CD is the rarest CD-Single because it includes two outtakes from the Love Like Ours recording sessions.



“Just Because,” written by Mervyn Warren and Jeremy Lubbock and “Let's Start Right Now,” by Cristovao Bastos, Abel Silva, and Roxanne Seeman were the two new songs. (“Let's Start Right Now” was a Brazilian song—"Raios De Luz"—with an original English lyric by Seeman).
