Duck Sauce were the duo DJ Armand Van Helden & DJ A-Trak
Now who remembers this event? Go back in time to 2011, actually to New Year's Day 2011. 'Field day' refers to the festival 'Field Day' which was held at The Domain in Sydney, this was only their 2nd live gig together AND their only performance in Australia.
So this release is pretty special and of course, the song is a classic for these guys.
Very limited pressings of this release, Yes the single was released elsewhere (outside of Australia) but none were specific to this event in Sydney.

Let me try to explain some details about this CD. We ran an audio production facility and one of the staff had one of those "nudge nudge wink wink moments" and was handed this CD by a major label employee. No case, no front cover - just the bare CD. It will be supplied in a plain Orange-Red paper sleeve (with liner) and inside a sealed clear plastic 'pocket' to protect it.
The CD face has of course been screen printed, this is not a "backroom" paper label on a CDr type of release! The artwork has undergone a number of changes, reflecting the upcoming Australian festival event. The primary graphic has been moved to the left hand side and is considerably smaller. The track listing is one the right hand side but considerably more detailed than other releases of this single. The top section of the CD face is dedicated to promoting the "Field Day" in 2011. The lower central section of the CD face promotes a URL, Fuzzy.com. and then I am pretty sure that someone has added .AU with Black felt pen here (A 'Woops' (as Britney would say) moment, they obviously left the .au off the artwork accidently)
In the centre, lower section of the CD face is a catalogue number DS1
Note that there is none of the usual "copyright, not for public performance (or we will hunt you down)" type text at all around the CD rim and there is no mention of "For Industry Use Only".
CD media is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see a number of marks or scratches on the media but fortunately they tend to be outside of the data area and should not affect playback. Just looking at the media is not a great way to judge the condition so I have played the ENTIRE release, both tracks completely, and there are NO issues with playback at all.
As to the recording used, this looks to be based on the same source as that used for the German single release (2 tracks, catalogue 5052498355228) with no remixes, just a radio edit and the original mix.
TRACKS: Barbra Streisand (Radio edit 3:12.69), Barbra Streisand (Original mix 4:52.73)
The times indicated are as shown on my Tascam broadcast player i.e actual audio going to line excluding silence and closely approximate the German release timing.
