Alot of good music, February 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Clearly Love (Audio CD)
I listened to this recording back in the mid seventies when it was originally released and like it as much or more today. Compared to alot of the current popular music, it is nice to listen to someone who has some talent and sends a positive message. As far as the cover art goes, the CD I obtained (import by Festival records) has all the same artwork that the LP sleeve had including the words. Perhaps the US release was missing this part...

Classic Olivia---I CLEARLY LOVE this album!, March 12, 2003
This review is from: Clearly Love (Audio CD)
Olivia churned out album after album through out the 70's, but Clearly love stands out with its simple catchy melodies and Olivia's pure voice. The songs on this album are great to sing along to and, while they all represent her 70's style, they do so by covering a wide range of genres, such as the jazzy, blues-like Something Better to Do, the optimistic anthem Let it Shine, the poppy Slow Down Jackson, and the emotional cover of He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. By far, the most moving performance on the album is the somber Just a Lot of Folk--this song displays her ability to filter emotions into lyrics. How many singers can take lyrics that include the word "marshmallow" and still move the listener to tears? On that note, however, I could have done without the cover of Summertime Blues. That being said...this album is CLEARLY one of her best---put it in on a rainy day and simply "Let it Shine."

Horrible packaging!, April 16, 2007
This review is from: Clearly Love (Audio CD)
First, I loved this album growing up, and for whatever reason, this was my favorite all time Olivia album cover. However, the packaging was a great disappointment not only for this CD, but all the Olivia Remastered CDs. Sure it comes with a booklet of lyrics and pictures from the original albums, but EVERY photo is so grainy that it looks absolutely amatueristic. This includes the front and back covers and the photos inside the booklet. I would have sworn they were booklet copies if I hadn't purchased them from Amazon directly.
