About this album

Making A Good Thing Better shows Olivia Newton-John refining her easy, luminous pop appeal on a polished 1977 studio album. The record blends soft pop-rock and ballads, with the title song, a version of 'Ring of Fire' and the theatrical sweep of 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' highlighting her crossover range. Arriving after her major international breakthrough earlier in the decade, the album reflects the period when Newton-John was cementing her status as one of pop’s most approachable and commercially successful voices. Its mix of gentle conviction and radio-friendly arrangements keeps it firmly in the mainstream of late-1970s pop.
