Olivia wins Scotty Award

When an artist as talented as Olivia Newton-John records the biggest hit of her career, you know it must be something special.

Listening to Olivia’s Physical album confirms just how special it is. Its bold, innovative sound took it all the way to platinum, while spinning off a smash hit single.

That’s why the six judges on the Scotty Board of Governors have chosen ‘Physical to receive our latest Scotty award.

We congratulate Olivia Newton-John her producer John Farrar, engineer David J. Holman and the David J. Holman studio for their work on the album. And we’re proud that Scotch” Recording Tape was part of the effort.

Their Scotty is one of six given each year to super achievers in any category of music. To qualify, an album must go gold or platinum by RIAA standards and be mastered on Scotch Recording Tape.

Winners get to share their experience with someone less fortunate, because we award $1,000 in their name to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. That money goes toward helping kids like Kelsey Neumann.

We also award a $5,000 music scholarship to a promising new artist chosen by the top Scotty winner.

If you know a super achiever, now’s the time to nominate that artist for this year’s Scotty competition. We’ll donate $100 to Muscular Dystrophy for each qualified nomination.

Contact your 3M Field Representative for details and nomination forms, and help your artist join the list of greats like Olivia Newton-John.
