This is a brilliant soundtrack! It features almost every song from the movie, 25 in total!
The first song is Grease, sung by Frankie Valli. Next come the ones sung by the cast - Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted to You, You’re the One That I Want, Sandy, Beauty School Drop-Out, Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee and Greased Lighnin’. Each one is performed brilliantly by John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John and the rest of the cast, and they’re all so catchy you’ll never be able to get them out of your head!
Next come the ones that are sort of in the background through out the movie and at the dance-off – It’s Raining on Prom Night, Alone at the Drive In Movie, Blue Moon, Rock n’ Roll is Here To Stay, Those Magic Changes, Hound Dog, Born to Hand Jive, Tears on My Pillow, Mooning, Freddie My Love and Rock n’ Roll Party Queen. They’re all really fun songs!
The last few are more performed by the cast – There Are Worse Things I Could Do, Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee (Reprise), We Go Together. Last is Grease (Reprise). There's also a song called Love is a Many Splendoured Thing, which is the one at the beginning when Sandy and Danny are at the beach.
I love all the songs on the album except Love is a Many Splendoured Thing and Alone at the Drive in Movie, which are mostly instrumental and kinda boring. My favourites are Summer Nights, and We Go Together, because I think that has fantastic lyrics – e.g. “shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yippity boom de boom”!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes the movie – and those who don’t! It’s an excellent soundtrack!

I used to have an album years ago and it mysteriously disappeared! I will probably buy it again at some point as I know all the songs off by heart,lol. Nicola:)

Good opinion, sorry to correct you but the theme song "Grease" isn't sung by the cast its Frankie Valli.
