There are a couple of Greatest Hits releases scheduled for release in October 2022. It’s a shame that there wasn’t a readily available Greatest Hits (except in Australia) when Olivia died, not especially for the
hardcore
fans but for members of the public.
The Australian 2018 compilation Hopelessly Devoted: The Hits reached number 5 in the Australian ARIA album charts in August 2022 (and that release doesn’t include the original Grease soundtrack tracks).
But it’s coming!
Released in the US and Australia (Europe?)
Olivia Newton-John’s Greatest Hits
features tracks from 1971 to 1976 (
Volume 2
we trust is coming later). Available on CD and vinyl.
