4 pages! Such a triumph. Even if I have made about 57 of the 62 posts.
Nothing wrong with that! A true fan likes to spread the love methinks!
Not really to do with Physical, apart from this being it's follow up. Still, this sealed copy of Soul Kiss on eBay brought back memories of getting my own copy in October 1985. That elegant sleeve! Olivia's frightwig! The cool 'hype sticker'! Say what you like about LPs, but it was hard to top the artwork.
That artwork looks fab in LP form!Not really to do with Physical, apart from this being it's follow up.

It was a good looking LP. Loved that gatefold sleeve. The only downside being the lyrics weren't included. That really used to annoy me. Strangely enough, on the CD version they were. Alongside a couple of extra photos!
LP's made such great artwork I think.

Thanks for this informative thread. I must confess I have never listened to an album by Olivia other than hearing the songs from Grease. There was a show on TV earlier about musicals and Grease was mentioned and I had a desire to Spotify some Olivia. There's not many of her albums there so I chose a Playlist someone had compiled. I liked most of what I heard.
Spotify do have Physical, so I will give it a listen.
Yes, for some reason a lot of her albums aren't available on Spotify or iTunes here. I think it's different in the States. Physical is arguably the best 'pop' album she ever made, so it's a good place to start. 1978's Totally Hot is great too. 1985's Soul Kiss is worth a listen too. It's one of those albums that divides fans, but if you take to Physical you might like it.

I checked out Totally Hot on YouTube (again, not on Spotify it seems) and I liked it too. Physical is very good.
I think it's fair to say that Physical was the most defining Diva single of the 80's.

I actually watched all the videos last night and though they looked pretty good for the 80's. I must say she looked stunning in every scene too.
I agree. What a beauty.
Hearing the album for the first time thanks to this thread... Thank you for doing it @Tommy Johnson, amazing pop record
Olivia did videos for every song on the album. You should check them out on YouTube. Some are surprisingly good for saying it was the 80s and videos were a relatively new concept then.
