Olivia is the second studio album by the British-Australian singer-songwriter Olivia Newton-John, released in 1972. Two of its songs were released as singles ("What Is Life" and "Just a Little Too Much"). In its initial release, it was not issued in the United States, though it was sold there as an import. A digitally remastered version was released in 1995.
Reception
The first single "What Is Life" reached number 18 in Ireland,[1] and number 16 in the UK,[2] but the album itself was a commercial failure when released in the UK on Pye International in 1972.
The cover art, done in blue tint, was later used (in a blueish-green tint) as the cover of the US release of Let Me Be There on MCA Records in 1973, following the success of the hit single penned by John Rostill.
