This is the limited edition mini LP CD of Olivia Newton-John's album "The Rumour" from 1988, released in Japan in 2010 on SHM-CD (Super High Material Compact Disc). Catalog number: UICY-94718 (UICX-1379).

This is one of the stand-alone releases celebrating her 40th anniversary as a recording artist. (There was also a 10-disc box set; this auction is ONLY for the one disc pictured here).

This particular release is now in very scarce supply, but highly collectible because of its superior remastered sound quality & its inclusion of two bonus tracks:

“It’s Always Australia for Me”

and

“Winter Angel ” (which is especially hard to find on cd).

The CD grading is near mint (NM or M-) and the cardboard sleeve case, OBI, insert, stickers, and inlay with lyrics in both English and Japanese are also in excellent condition.

The cellophane wrapping is flawed; please see photos. It’s torn along the back fold. I am including it because it contains the original gold SHM-CD sticker. The wrapper could easily be replaced, though. The contents of the disc, cover, insert with English lyrics, obi, both stickers, & lyrics sheet with lyrics in both English and Japanese are all fantastic.

Thanks so much for looking!
