If You Love Me Let Me Know (US) LP cover

Like the previous early US issue Let Me Be There, If You Love Me Let Me Know takes more songs from the early UK albums and added a few more from Long Live Love. MCA did a good job of taking the bes cuts from the source albums to make a stronger album for the US audience, who were taking Olivia to their hearts. The album has two top ten singles. I Honestly Love You, written by Australian Peter Allen was to become a knockout hit for Olivia and her signature song, perhaps until the Grease and Physical era. The single was a #1 hit in the US, Australia, and Canada, and it earned Olivia two Grammys (Record of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) in 1975. The title track I If You Love Me, Let Me Know reached no 2 in the US country charts, and she won Female Vocalist of the year in the 1974 Country Music Awards, which caused a ruckus as she came from outside the established country music community.
