Physical Olivia Newton John

It was 40 years ago this year when Olivia Newton John released the album Physical which was produced by John Farrar who wrote many of her hits in the 70's and wrote most of the tracks on the album as well as American born Australian Steve Kipner who wrote 2 including the title track Physical as well as songs by Barry Gibb and Hank marvin and besides from the title track which was number 1 in the USA for 10 weeks as well as number 1 in Australia and number 7 in the UK there was 2 other hit singles from the album Make A Move A Move On Me and Landslide both written by John Farrar. The album went to number 6 in the USA, number 11 in the UK and number 3 in Australia and it is now being reissue again which has an double CD and an DVD. On the reissued album besides from the original tracks on the tracks it has bonus tracks including the long version of Physical as well as an live recording of Physical as well as other sings like Twist of Fate, Take A Chance with John Travolta, Face To Face With Barry Gibb and remixes and Alternate versions of some of the songs. There is the DVD which has Olivia performing at Ogden Utah in 1983 at the Weber State University hall and the Physical Video album that was released in 1982 which has most of the songs from the album as well as Magic and Hopelessly Devoted To You. It is FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC and AWESOME songs which they sound great as it did back then and they hold up very well to this day which you can get never tire of hearing these great songs. The reissued version of the album went to number 13 in Australia, number 73 in the UK, number 85 in the UK download chart, number 17 in the USA catalog chart, number 52 in the USA top album chart and number 65 in Scotland. This is an must for Olivia Newton John fans and I give it 5 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will love it.
