Livvie joins up with her musical mates Andy Gibb & ABBA in a '68 Comeback style stage setting for a TV special that aired on American television in 1978. Livvie curls her lips & sings "Jailhouse Rock" @ 6:26 mark. Priceless ! :smt005 :smt005

Hey my friends, i guess i posted this before but this is a 13-year old, 20-minute clip that was uploaded by somebody who was involved in production on the 1978 TV special, and pristine audio.

Worth another look :D

Great news if you like Xanadu is that there will be a 4K ultra hd product coming out soon on blu-ray but only in the USA at this stage.

ANY Livvie release is great at this point. Being an old lad, I would love to see more DVD/Blu Ray boxed set releases of Livvie's performances soon (and there are literally 1000's out there...professionally filmed) Youtube doesn't even do it justice.

For sure, i too would prefer the 3 or 4 Olivia TV Specials.

Now Kino-Lorber are the producers of Xanadu remastered. So it really depends on what they can achieve with their sales. If they move enough units and make a profit then i'm sure they will look at doing the TV specials. I'll try to find a contact and drop them a line about this.
Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained :D

Here's their advert:

I hope the Sydney Opera House concert from 1980 gets released in its entirety on DVD (or at least on youtube) someday. Great find. :)

Speaking of Sydney Opera House concerts by Livvie, here's a upload of the complete 2 hour event that took place in 2015. The upload for some reason repeats in silent mode after the 2 hour mark.

Yes it's been posted on youtube - the whole three hours, in average quality. Whether or not it's still there is another thing.

look at that !

The same uploader - Women inClassic Pop - who produced a couple of Linda Ronstadt vids chronicle ( i added yesterday) has also made one on Dame Olivia Newton John (1971 -1982) :D :smt007

Just grab ur head-phones as the remastered stereo separation throughout is awesome !
