Making A Good Thing Better was released around the time of Olivia's fight with MCA for not promoting her records, which may have something to do with it being one of her few albums that didn't go gold. It is probably fair to say that it isn't her strongest album - pleasant enough but there's not enough right with it to join the canon of previous LPs that went gold.

However, it has a special place for me it's the first albums I bought in the year of release.

In the booklet with the 40th Anniversary Japanese CD boxset Olivia says she was 'somewhere tropical' for the cover shot, but she isn't sure where exactly.
