Without You I'm Nothing is the name of the second record released by comedian and singer Sandra Bernhard.[1]
History
It was released at the height of her career and is a live performance recording that was issued on double-cassette, compact disc and double-vinyl in 1989; it was later re-released on double-compact disc and made available for sale on Bernhard's own website. The re-release included a second disc of bonus material. The original release once fetched upwards of $300 at auction because a then-unknown Tori Amos is featured singing backing vocals on the track "Little Red Corvette," a cover of the song by Prince. As internet file-sharing made the songs featuring Tori readily available, prices dropped considerably.
Material
The recording features a combination of live music performance and comedy. The recording contains material from Bernhard's one-woman show of the same name, whose motion picture adaptation would arrive three years later.
