Olivia Newton-John Performances 1971-1979 DVD 2.

Dit is een eigen compilatie van optredens van Olivia die ik in de loop der jaren als fan heb verzameld.

Dit is dan de 2e dvd. De kwaliteit varieert van redelijk tot goed. Het volume kan wel eens verschillen dus hou je afstandsbediening bij de hand...
Er is géén menu op de dvd aanwezig. Een zelfgemaakt dvd-cover zit er ook bij...
