Olivia Newton-John compilations have been in this household since the 70s and all I can say is she has always had songs that I enjoy listening to. To this day I still own her O.N.J. Greatest Hits MCA Records Inc. LP from 1976. Part of the tunes from that album are on this CD but not all. In other words the biggest problem I have with this 1992 Back To Basics disc is there's to many of her hits left off. Let Me Be There, Come On Over, Don't Stop Believin, and, Xanadu, are just four that are not here however there are several on this CD that most of you will recognize like, Physical, I Honestly Love You, Sam, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), and the sexy tunes, A Little More Love, and, Magic, plus it also has three songs from the highly popular motion picture, Grease, and they are, Summer Nights, You're The One That I Want, and, Hopelessly Devoted To You. There is also a nice catchy little tune on here that deserves honorable mention and is also pleasant to listen to being, Deeper Than A River, so I have to say that this is a decent seventeen track single disc that still packs a punch. Of all the great songs Olivia has gave us over the years I still gotta say that my two favorites are songs with a country flavor from her earliest days and they are 1973s, Let Me Be There, and 1974s, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), and like I stated above, Let Me Be There, is not on this disc so I still have to listen to my ole O.N.J. Greatest Hits LP to hear that one. For years; when I would listen to one I would also listen to the other because they are back to back on the ole LP. For Olivia I give five stars however due to some of Olivia's hits being missing I can only give this compilation three stars which rounds out to four. I can handle a few of her hits not being on this disc and you probably can to However; Am I aggravated at myself for purchasing this CD without one of my two favorite tunes by Olivia on it? Yep! and I can't get any more basic than that.
