Back to Basics: The Essential Collection 1971–1992 is a greatest hits album by Olivia Newton-John that was released on June 9, 1992, and the first compilation to contain both her country and pop hits. The album contained four new tracks: "Deeper Than a River", "Not Gonna Be the One", "I Want to Be Wanted" and "I Need Love". A tour was planned to promote the album, but unfortunately had to be cancelled when Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The album was released with different track listings in different territories in order to feature her biggest hits in each region. Although the album didn't chart highly in the U.S., it was a long-term big seller and eventually certified Gold. The album was a bigger success in the U.K and Australia.
