“Anthology / Early Years: Singles and Rarities” is the first in a series of rare recordings from Olivia Newton-John’s career-defining years. This chronological compilation features rare recordings from the 1960s through the 1970s, the decade that marked the beginning of her career, as well as previously unreleased and hard-to-find tracks.

This includes the first stereo mix of his first solo single from 1966, unreleased acetate recordings from 1967 with his partner Pat Carroll from his time in Australia, the only stereo mix of a single by the band “Tomorrow,” which he appeared in a film with, German and French versions of hit singles, rare mixes of singles only, and many of the mono recordings that were only available as promotions, all released on CD for the first time. The 1975 film soundtrack “Richard’s Window” and the 1979 UNICEF concert are also being released on CD from now-out-of-print vinyl.

Additionally, collaborations with John Denver, John Travolta, and Andy Gibb are currently hard to find, with promo recordings available. Each recording has been updated with the latest remaster, and the difference is clear when compared to the previous recordings. This is a must-have collector’s item, a remarkable new compilation!
