Olivia's second(!) eponymous album from 1972. This was while Olivia was making her way in the UK. To my ears she's pushing things a little too hard on some of these tracks with an overly theatrical delivery on Just a Little Too much and My Old Man's Got a Gun. The second album of many artists is slightly troubled. Apparently she was on TV a lot in the early 1970s, though I was too young, and we didn't have a TV then. Many of these songs featured in those shows

The album features Olivia's first self-written song, the lovely and wistful Changes

I bought this album new old stock from HMV Oxford Street, it had already gone out of print by the time i discovered Olivia in the late 1970s just before Grease.
