Advantages: A decent mix of tracks Disadvantages: Cindy Bullens
...music for me that makes Grease the greast film that it is.
Everyone knows at least one of the songs from the Grease soundtrack, and how many times have we danced around drunkenly (or more worringly stone cold sober) to one of the classic tunes? The cover of the 24 track CD has a picture of a young looking John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.
Opener, title track and the song which kicks the film into action is 'Grease' by Frankie Valli. It ...

This is my most favourite soundtrack of all time. Since I first watched the film I was addicted to it and know all the words to the songs. I had this soundtrack on tape originally but I listened to it so much it sounds a bit dodgy now. In parts of it the music goes slow and patchy. This then forced me into getting it on cd. Being a newer version to what I originally had this follows the stage version of it and includes extra songs from what was on ...

Advantages: Fun score, great performances, surprising arrangements Disadvantages: BAD version of Beauty School Dropout
Of the numerous recordings of Grease in my collection of stage and film music (five), this is the one I listen to the most often and the one ‘most deserving of wider recognition.’ There are so many opinions here on Ciao of the film soundtrack and I feel I’m being a bit strange and different by writing on any of the others…
This is the most recent Broadway revival of the show, and they did some pretty radical things to the ...

24: Grease (reprise)
And it all weighs in at just under 52 minutes. You would have expected more from 24 tracks, wouldn't you? But then, there are a lot of one and a half minute tracks in there.
So there you have it. As you can see, the songs on the album are in nothing like the order that they are in the film. In fact that is the only problem that I have with the CD. Still, it's in the same order as the original ...

Advantages: A timeless soundtrack Disadvantages: A few odd tracks in the middle of the album
...is hard to believe that Grease is a film made more than twenty years ago. Perhaps then it should be more surprising that the soundtrack still sounds so good, and that so many people still relate to it. Mention the names Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta and people will probably still instantly say “Grease”.
The soundtrack has so many things going for it. For a start there are 22 tracks on it – almost unheard of today. The songs are (for the ...

Hmmmm Review ofGrease - Original Soundtrackby
becky_uk
Advantages: Disadvantages:
Why has Grease gone down so well as a classic? Is it a movie or a musical? I think musical. The soundtrack has all the songs from the movie on it but personally I think that they are too old to still be enjoyed today by young people because they have a golden oldies style (shudder). Personally this is definitely NOT my cup of tea, in fact I wouldn't buy it in a million years, but from an unbiased point of view I would say that the album is quite good ...

The songs really do get people up and dancing, the tunes are very catchy along with the superb lyrics! The soundtrack is very ...

...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 ...

Great!! Review ofGrease - Original Soundtrackby
lukerussell
Advantages: Brilliant songs and singing Disadvantages: none
...soundtrack from the acclaimed movie Grease and it is as good as the movie itself. The film is a musical and the songs within it were responsible for its success at the Box Office. It is therefore obvious that the soundtrack is going to be very good and it is indeed so. The film itself is considered a classic and the soundtrack is the same for the same reasons. Each song is very good with others standing out more than others. You'll never stop listening ...

OOH OOH OOHH HONEY.
THIS COLLECTION OF SONGS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST DANCED TO SONGS.NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU GO, YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE DANCED TO THESE SONGS.

Rockin' All Over Review ofGrease - Original Soundtrackby
KingWaz
Advantages: Disadvantages:
Grease is one of the best musicals that I have ever seen and what makes a musical? Of course Music. So hearing the music of one of the best musicals ever crammed onto one CD is just plain fantastic. This compilation contains a lot of classics still listened too and enjoyed today. Both the quality and variety of music on this CD is excellant and definately well worth listening to. If I could some this sound track up in one word it would just plain ...

If you've seen the movie, and love the music in it, pick up this single disc reissue of the original classic 2-LP album. I have the original record album and played it quite frequently. It's good to hnag on to, but in the past year I bought this single disc and don't have to worry about this getting worn out.
All the original songs from the film are here. The songs are done in the style a typical '50s rock'n'roll song or ballad. The title track by ...

Timeless classic Review ofGrease - Original Soundtrackby
opinionated1
Advantages: Classic Disadvantages: Some younger people may not recognise many of the songs
This soundtrack is an absolute classic! The songs are brilliant and most people know them off by heart. One of the local shops near me plays it nearly constantly and all the customers can't help but sing along. People who have seen the film will love it, but even those who haven't seen cant help but be uplifted by the songs on this cd. Some of the songs are very well known (who hasn't sung Summer Loving on the kareoke?) and others are lesser known ...
