Olivia Newton-John – Twist Of Fate (France 12″)

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”.
