Olivia Newton-John. Yay or Nay?

Oh no. Not another Christmas album. And they're doing Baby It's Cold Outside. How original. And to think there was a time that I wished for her to do a Christmas album. And yes, I'll be buying this. I'm a loyal Olivia fan. A grouchy one too, but loyal.

And thanks for the heads up Chris! So Amazon isn't going to carry the CD? That's a bummer if that's the case.

 

I'm sad to say but the only post-vinyl ONJ that I truly need is Gaia and Sordid Lives Movie/The Series OST. A track or two on the rest of her releases and that's it.

 

There's never been a vinyl edition of Gaia. I asked when I ordered the CD from Australia in 1994. He said there was just cassette and CD.

 

Yes sadly. That's why I included Gaia in her post-vinyl years.

 

Weird, there WAS an unofficial Gaia 2 LP release!

You learn something new every day.

That would have been quite the collector's item.

 

I think i don't care about her.I'm not sure.

 

And a small light of hope for those who live in digital hell and have to suffer the horrors of listening to their ONJ records on CD!

 

Pity about Liv on not cracking the charts .I haven't bought it yet( not sure I will ultimately) but you'd think it would have done something with all the promotional work she put into it the last few weeks.

Oh well,perhaps this may give her some motivation to do a more mainstream country or pop release in the next few years. Or not.

Or better yet, finally get to work on putting out a comprehensive vinyl and CD reissue of her classic period albums (1971-1985) and perhaps even finally reissue stuff like BACK WITH A HEART and her GOLD comp on vinyl.

Yeah...fat chance on that...

 

We can always dream... Personally I´d settle for remastered or expanded versions of "Totally Hot" and "Xanadu". Or scratch the remaster bit - they sound lovely. A SACD of both would be nice, though. I am not holding my breath...

 

Oh, shut up.

 

I don't think there's a lot of chance of anything like that. The Japanese SACD releases seem to have dried up again for one thing,

 

If you're not sure perhaps there's still hope?

 

I guess so

 

@Bobby Morrow meet Merve.. she's from the Britney forum

 

Sadly, you´re most probably right. I wish they would finish some of the runs they started.

 

It's only listed in digital format for the moment, but I'm sure they will add the CD at some point. Both the 'Two Strong Hearts' CD and DVD are available there, so this one will no doubt follow suit.

Oh dear. She's a troubled soul then?

 

75 copies? We got ourselves another Xanadu picture disc. I'll just pretend it doesn't exist and live my life in peace.

 

Yeah, it's a shame. So many gaps in artists catalogues.

A lot of those MCA CDs of Olivia's are very good. I doubt they could improve on them much. I'd still like them to try, though.

 

But you know it does...

 

Thanks for intoducing me

Nice to meet you,Bobby

 

You too!
