ALBUM

Olivia (1972)

This was Newton-John's second studio album, released in the UK and parts of Europe but never issued in the United States. It produced two singles, 'What Is Life' and 'Just a Little Too Much', and captures her early country-pop sound before she broke through to wider international audiences.
