Women And Children First - Ancient Grease

Advantages: A timeless soundtrack
Disadvantages: A few odd tracks in the middle of the album

...classics like “You’re the one that I want”, “Summer Nights”, “Greased Lightning” and “Hopelessly Devoted To You”. They sound as good now as the first time I heard them, and they will probably sound just as good in another twenty years time.... Read review

Advantages: 23 brilliant songs!
Disadvantages: 2 boring, instrumental songs

...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...

However, it is in Men's Needs that I would say they have become a truly great modern Brit band. If this album does not take Wakefield's finest export to the top of the British music ladder then something has gone seriously wrong. The difference between this album and the band's previous two efforts is that this is an album which from the first words, and first riff on the first track, 'Our Bovine Public' , grabs you by the balls and takes you on the ride of your life, without...
