This Back To Basics release is the Australian version from Festival Records. Has many more hits on it than the US version did including Let Me Be There, Dont Stop Believin, Xanadu, Soul Kiss and Grease Mega Mix. However, if you are fortunate enough to get this CD with its bonus 2nd CD, then you will also get the songs: No Matter What You Do, Dont Cut Me Down, The Rumour, Jolene, Dont Cry For Me Argentina, Toughen Up, Heart Attack and Its Always Australia For Me. Until her boxset is released later this year or early next, this is a great substitute.

I've been an adoring fan since I met her. She used to live down the street from yours truly in Newcastle, Australia & one day she came home from England for a family visit(very early in her incredible career..around 1972)& this 7 year-old fan caught a peck on the cheek. A day I'll never forget. This compilation is one of the best there is & the bonus disc only adds to the treasures contained herein. I've deducted one star for the inclusion of the loathsome Grease Megamix...

Incredible doesnt come close to describing this collection from one of the most underrated pop stars of our time. There are alot of Olivia Newton-John collections floating around, but this is by far the best bet. It has solid tracks from the late 70's all the way to the 80's when "Physical" was sitting at #1. And if that isnt enough, the second disc is filled with gems like "The rumour", "Cant we talk it over in bed?", and "Dont cry for me Argentina". Get this set before its deleted entirely from the Amazon catalogue.

I received this CD, but it wasn't the same as pictured on Amazon. I really wanted the one that is orange in color. This is not what I received. I'm a true fan of Olivia's. Wonder why I received the wrong CD?

A wonderful double cd collection of 31 hits that every longtime and recent Olivia fan will enjoy. Has most of the songs from the American issue (lacks "Deeper Than the Night" and substitutes the "Grease Mega Mix" for "You're the One That I Want" and "Summer Nights.") and tacks on later hits like "No Matter What You Do" and "The Rumour" on a bonus disc. The highlight is the inclusion of "It's Always Australia For Me."

The product advertised is a 2-CD set. The 2nd (or bonus) CD contains 10 tracks (listed here as track 22-31). Additionally, the cover art is completely different than what is pictured. Two incorrect shipments later, I am diluged with returning these items to Amazon and customer service has been useless in helping me. BUYER BEWARE !!!!

This Limited Edition Double CD Collection is jam packed with her GREATEST HITS. It has many beautiful and inspiring, heartfelt ballads as well. Whether you're an Olivia fan, or not, I'm sure you will treasure this CD Set as much as I do. It is bound to become a collector's item because it is hard to find in a DOUBLE CD Set with a colorful slip cover over the jewel case, and the word, "souvenir" is misprinted on the side(spine) of the jewel case. It is spelled, "sovenir"! If you buy this CD, you won't be sorry. I'm not selling my copy for anything, not on amazon or anywhere.
God Bless You All.
