Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits Volume 2 - Deluxe Edition slated for January

I bought this on LP when it was first released and later lost it. I'm glad to hear it is being reissued. Read details below.

Dame Olivia Newton-John's legacy continues to live on with the remastered release of Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits Volume 2 - Deluxe Edition, due out on January 6, 2023 on CD and digitally via Primary Wave.

The 14-track collection, originally released 40 years ago (1982), features her biggest international hits, as well as her U.S. Top 40 hits from that era including singles “Physical,” “Magic,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You” and “You're The One That I Want.”

“Forty years ago, in 1982, my Greatest Hits Vol. 2 album was released - how lucky am I as an artist to have two volumes of Greatest Hits?” said Olivia Newton-John in a May 2022 statement before tragically losing her long battle with cancer this past August.

“During the five years between the two albums, everything seemed to go from busy to a blur! First there was the global success of Grease in 1978, and my album Totally Hot, followed by Xanadu in 1980. I was so proud that this soundtrack went on to sell over two million copies with the #1 hits ‘Magic’ and ‘Xanadu’ (with the amazing ELO) and, it gave me the opportunity to reunite with Cliff Richard on ‘Suddenly.’ Physical followed in 1982 and during the tour to promote the album, Olivia’s Greatest Hits Vol. 2 was released. It was the first time I put out a greatest hits album with two brand new recordings - ‘Heart Attack’ and ‘Tied Up.’”

Much like the reissue of Olivia Newton-John’s Greatest Hits, to mark the 40th anniversary of Olivia’s Greatest Hits Vol. 2, both international versions that were released in 1982 were combined to create the definitive deluxe edition of the collection.

Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits Volume 2 - Deluxe Edition marks her first non-soundtrack album to rank in the year-end Top 10. It was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. and Platinum in the UK, where it peaked at No. 8 with a 38-week chart run. The second volume of hits follows last month’s remastered release of Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits Deluxe Edition (click here to purchase or stream).
