BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983
“Twist of Fate” is a song recorded by English-born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for the soundtrack to the 1983 film Two of a Kind. It was written by Peter Beckett and Steve Kipner, and produced by David Foster. It reached number four in Australia and Canada while peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 1984. Billboard ranked it as number 42 on its listing of the top 100 singles of 1984.
**The 12″ Remix of “Twist Of Fate” is exclusive to the France and Japan 12″ singles and differs from the version released previously in the USA, Canada, Australia and Sweden which had a fade ending to the mix. For this 12″ the track is about ten seconds longer with a cold ending.
The b-side “Jolene” was recorded live in Ogden, Utah during Olivia’s 1982 “Physical World Tour”. Olivia had previously recorded the Dolly Parton penned song for her 1976 album “Come On Over”.
I have previously posted the Japan 12″ however this is a new transfer.

Love & Light in 2021!
Thank you, Paul! I didn’t know about this version!
Great, rare version of this classic track. Magnifique!
Thank you, Brad 🙂
This is fantastic Paul. I have a different vinyl issue that does not have these mixes., I’m a fan of the I Need Love Tommy Musto remixes too for the 1992 single by ONJ.
“I Need Love” very underrated track 🙂
So cool — thanks for ripping this 12″ single! It’s one of my favorite remixes of all time, right up there with the “Livin’ in Desperate Times” remix. It was so exciting to get these remixes over 36 years ago. I played them over and over and over.
But, jeez, how can so much time have passed? I was in high school when this came out, but I can remember playing it in my bedroom in my parents’ house like it was last week…
You’re welcome, David 🙂
Thank you Paul!
You’re welcome 🙂
Thank you for all the work you put into these…
You’re welcome 🙂
Thanks so much Paul!! Love this version.
You’re welcome 🙂
What a great song and best dance version of an Olivia track. Fun that it’s been used in the show Stranger Things as it recognizes it as quintessential 80’s! Rock on, Paul – and thank you for this gem!
I do remember being so excited to hear it in Stranger Things 🙂
This is my favourite mix of one of my favourite songs by Olivia. I always prefer mixes with a cold end because like that we can dance until the last second. With a fade ending we might stop before. Thank you very much Paul. Olivia posts are always welcome. Have a great weekend and stay healthy.
Thanks so much Daniel 🙂
Thanks Paul so much for this version. I love this version more because of the cold ending.
This has been a fantastic week of music Paul, like a lot of your weeks records. I’m looking forward to a fun summer with Burning The Ground providing the soundtrack.
Have a tremendous weekend Paul and thanks again!!!
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff 🙂
