Tied Up review - By Julie Birchill

MARIANNE FAITHFULL: Running For Our Lives (Island)
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN: Tied-Up (EMI) What happens to the gentle blonde daughters of the grande bourgeoise when they leave their academic haven-homes? Anything they want! Olivia and Marianne, both English, both heiresses of professors, both the wrong side of 30 (if not 40) trod vastly different paths. The magic land of Oz extracted the moribundity of her class from Olivia, making her an unashamed sunshine supergirl; sad, searching '60s England led Marianne Faithfull into a dance of death that she seems unable to move away from.

Meanwhile Ollie and her airbrushed emotions sprint across the Bel Air moonscape in satin shorts. Do I like it? I don't know. One will have to view the video film before one can decide whether one likes the record or not.
