Spending an Afternoon with Olivia

Spent my weekend digging out and ripping all my Olivia Newton-John albums. As a child of the 70's, I have a great sentimental attachment to her early singles, from her "Have You Never Been Mellow" era down thru to GREASE, XANADU and beyond!
Strangely, the only album I never quite got into was the "Physical" release, though my younger sister adored it and played it incessantly in our house!

My Collection:

If Not For You (Deluxe)
Have You Never Been Mellow
Making a Good Thing Better
Come On Over/ Clearly Love
Don't Stop Believin'/ Totally Hot
Xanadu Soundtrack (with Electric Light Orchestra)
Back To Basics 1971-1992
Gaia: One Woman's Journey
One Woman's Live Journey
A wonderful voice we sadly lost just the other year. She'll truly be missed!

PS: It JUST dawned on me that the ANRI song "Olivia Wo Kikinagara" (Listening to Olivia) is about Olivia Newton John! Not only does the song "Cooling Down" sound an AWFUL LOT like the Anri song, but Anri's tune even refrains the line "Makin' Good Things Better", obviously referencing the Olivia Album!
Guess we ALL love Olivia!
