hear the 2-hour version, |
Cris Williamson's "If It Weren't For The Music" was on the first 45 rpm record issued by Olivia Records, the most important label in the history of our music culture. On this show I'll share with you their story, and not just the icons, but every artist they recorded on their main label and also their subsidiary, Second Wave Records...a historic and glorious ride from 1974 to 1993. |

It has annoyed me for years that there is no Olivia Records Discography to be found on the internet, not even on the Olivia website, so I created my own... Click Here. |

Music
by many of the artists heard on QMH can be found at February 2011, received a wonderful email from Judy Dlugacz: JD,
I just discovered your site, thanks to one of the folks here in the Olivia office. How can I ever thank you for doing this incredible discography of Olivia Records. Its really a dream come true.
I have been wanting to do talks about the history for a while but the work of putting it together was just too great and now I have this entire website of amazing information.
You are a treasure to our history and our story.
I am in awe thanks again for what you do.
Much Love,
Judy Listen to excellent interview with Ginny Berson about her life and new book Dr Bonnie Morris - The Olivia Records Story
