2024 Charity Shop Purchases # 32 -Olivia Newton John - The Ultimate Collection
This one was chosen by Mrs CC. She also picked up another one ( they were 10p after all) with nearly identical tracks. It has gone back.
She likes the entire range of Olivia's stuff - the early Country stuff, the ballads and the songs from Grease. Me - I much prefer the Country stuff.
This concludes this brief series. In addition to the 3 I have featured and the other ONJ one there was also Beautiful Noise by Neil Diamond which I can't bring myself to post and a Best of Dr Hook which with the exception of Sylvia's Mother was unlistenable. It was swiftly dispatched.
So all in all 6 CDs for 10p each. I very generously gave them a pound!
Was it early or late period Dr Hook? I quite like some of the early Shel Silverstein songs, but not the "when you're in love with a beautiful woman with sexy eyes" stuff.
ReplyDeleteI didn't keep it long enough to ascertain it's vintage!
DeleteLOL
DeleteI got distracted by your reference to Dr Hook and did a sidestep listen to Sylvia's Mother on YT. Such a great track. ONJ never really gripped me then or now
ReplyDeleteI wrote about Olivia when she died and even watched the film Xanadu (for research purposes). It was completely bonkers but the musical numbers were great - she was a star but in a really understated way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Noise is a great album.
ReplyDeleteCoat!
ONJ is one the whole family agrees on, and she is played on family road trips often. - Brian
