Olivia Newton-John Shines Again
Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits Deluxe Edition, a 2 LP special set sounds absolutely terrific on vinyl! Covering her earlier pre-Grease hits, there's more than a country tinge to the numbers, but Olivia soars above it all with lighter than air lead vocals and plenty of layering of that unique voice. I Honestly Love You, Please Mr. Please, and If Not For You shine! Not to be outdone, Something Better to Do and Have You Never Been Mellow sound even better if that's possible. Olivia's version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina is here as well. It was released in 1977 around the time of Carpenters' album Passage which also included the song. In one more connection with Karen Carpenter, the cover photo of this Olivia package but shot by French photographer Claude Mougin who also took the photos for Karen's one and only solo album.
