I WILL BE DONATING 50 OF THE FINAL PRICE TO THE OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN CANCER AND WELLNESS CENTRE IN MELBOURNE.
THIS EXTREMELY RARE LP IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE RAREST AUSTRALIAN PRESSED ONJ VINYL LP EVER MADE. IT IS A CUSTOM CLEAR RED VINYL PRESSING OF THE GREATEST HITS VOLUME 3 DONE OFFICIALLY BY FESTIVAL RECORDS AUSTRALIA IN 1982 RML 52015 , THAT WAS NEVER RELEASED FOR SALE. IT IS SO RARE THAT THERE IS NOTHING MENTIONED IN ANY MUSIC WEBSITE THAT I CAN FIND. THESE ARE THE LIKELY POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THIS INCREDIBLY RARE LP.
FESTIVAL RECORDS PRESSED THIS WITH THE INTENTION OF SELLING TO THE PUBLIC BUT DECIDED NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH IT S RELEASE AND WAS WITHDRAWN.A VERY SMALL NUMBER WERE PRESSED ONLY FOR THE RECORD COMPANY MANAGERS IN EACH STATE WITHIN AUSTRALIA.IT WAS A CUSTOM ONE-OFF PRESSING MADE FOR AN EXECUTIVE OF FESTIVAL.THERE WERE COLOURED VINYL PRESSINGS THAT WERE MADE BY FESTIVAL FOR ONJ S GREAT HITS AND GREATEST HITS VOL.2 LPs THAT WERE APPARENTLY WITHDRAWN AND DESTROYED EXCEPT FOR A FEW SAVED COPIES. THIS IS POSSIBLY THE SAME STORY FOR THIS VOL.3 PRESSING. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE IS EVEN RARER AS THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS PRESSING ON POPSIKE OR DISCOGS. IT IS WELL KNOWN BY OZ RECORD COLLECTORS THAT FESTIVAL RECORDS DID VARIOUS RARE CUSTOM COLOURED VINYL PRESSINGS THAT NEVER GOT RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SPECIAL PRESSINGS. IF ANYONE, SUCH AS AN EX FESTIVAL RECORDS EMPLOYEE, HAS MORE INFO ON THIS PRESSING THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW.THIS IS IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
SUCH AN ICONIC PERSON WITH AN AMAZING VOICE, SHE WILL BE VERY SADLY MISSED. REST IN PEACE OLIVIA, 1948 - 2022.
