"Talk It Over" - Grayson Hugh

The matrix number in the run out groove on the commercial 45 "Talk It Over" which I have is "8802-7-RX-A". So there are 2 different pressings certainly!

BTW, the original version of this song was recorded as an LP track by Olivia Newton-John in the 80s.

"Can't We Talk It Over In Bed" is on Olivia's The Rumour LP (and later on the Gold 2CD "hits" compilation). Grayson's cover is a good example of blue-eyed soul.

It was the follow-up to “The Rumour.” Sadly, it didn’t chart but I thought it
was a good song.

Olivia's version spent a few weeks struggling near the
bottom of R&R's AC "Significant Action" listing. For an
artist who scored ten AC #1's including a still record
seven consecutively, I was amazed Olivia could not get
more traction with this song at AC. Although her previous
single, "The Rumour," was not the comeback she hoped for,
she did reach the AC Top 10 just two years earlier with
her David Foster duet, "The Best Of Me." And, more
established pop artists like Olivia could still find
consistent Top 20 success at AC in the late 80's. Was it
Olivia and/or the song radio rejected? If the latter, why
was un unknown like Grayson Hugh able to score a Top 40
pop and AC hit with this less than a year later? Was
radio turned off by the more "naughty" title of Olivia's
version? After "Soul Kiss" and its questionable lyrics
and album artwork, I wonder if radio just dismissed this
as Olivia trying too hard again to be provocative.
