This single release is significant for two reasons, one being obvious - it's our Olivia singing one of her many "signature" songs
The second reason this release is significant is the record cover (or bag as we used to call them) being custom printed by the very well known Melbourne record store known as Batman Records, in fact they had a few shops (or as they were called back then, bars) in the Melbourne area. These guys were part of the "musical furniture" having been in the music business since 1947 but sadly in 2003 they shut the doors for the last time - never to reopen.
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN - Physical

1981
Australian release
Batman Records cover is in very good condition, very light edge wear from handling, no writing on the cover and no tears. Both record labels are clean and have no personal writing.
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see a very light "mark" (more like a vinyl discolouration) on Side A and an extremely light scratch on Side B. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so i then played this ENTIRE release, both sides, and there are absolutely no issues with surface noise nor clicks n pops - just lovely to hear Olivia once again, an inspiration to so many Australian newbie artists over the years.
