Olivia is featured on this Shadows' album for the track The Day I Met Marie. She plays the ethereal and unattainable Marie well, singing one line "Baby, go to sleep now. Baby, go to sleep now" fading to reverb. The CD booklet says this was her UK recording debut but in fact her one-off single for Decca in 1966 was her UK debut.
This album first released at the end of 1967 was re-issued and remastered on CD on The Best Goes On label in the 1990s and The Shadows Vocals.
