Twist of fate - Olvia Newton-John

Olivia Newton-John will forever be associated with the movie 'Grease', in which she starred together with John Travolta in 1978. But does everyone know she played with him in another movie five years later? I guess not, because 'Two of a kind' was a commercial failure. Musically it was interesting mostly for Olivia's 1983 single 'Twist of fate', a rock-oriented track that also went past the record-buying audiences.

I bought a Brazilian copy of this single, which is interesting for its 33rpm speed. The B-side is a live version of 'Jolene', the song originally made famous by Dolly Parton.

My collection: 7" single no. 2232
Found: January 21, 1995
