5.0 out of 5 stars Olivia's first Australian compilation, October 9, 2005

Released way back in 1975, "First Impressions' saw a young Olivia Newton John already with a remarkable list of hits in Australia. This 12 track album contains every early hit. The inclusion of her cover of "Amoreuse" is reason alone to buy it ... it's nice. Different to Kiki Dee's version, but definitely worth a listen.

Minus a few pop hooks, Livvy's early selections are winning and airy, if slight, country-lite performances. Her cover of Bob Dylan's "If Not for You" (an unlikely match-up!) was her first actual hit, and despite a repetitous twang, it's very pretty. "Banks of the Ohio" is a little bit out of Olivia's grasp, but John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is right up her alley. "Let Me Be There", "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)" and "I Honestly Love You" are here to snag hits-listeners, and they still sound great after these many years, but it's the other, less heard songs which grabbed me. A minor collection, to be certain, but an entirely pleasant one.
