Grease
I was disappointed, however, it is a very good soundtrack. I thought I ordered the dvd, instead I found I had the sound track.


Chopped song is not a Splendored Thing!

Love Is A Many Splendored Thing is chopped off at the end again!
Stop the insanity and release it thy way you know it should be. Is there any music lovers at Universal/Polydor? Is the money so important that you have to keep releasing the same old tired disc. The way you would want to hear it. If the segway into Grease (reprise) is so important then include both on the disc. Please!!.


Disc 1, the standard soundtrack, is great. Disc 2 is disappointing.


Disc 1 is the same as the standard movie soundtrack Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack). "Grease - Deluxe Edition" was released to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the film and features two CD's in a nice case and a booklet with all the lyrics. It features original songs from the movie and good clean audio. What's not to love with that?!

Disc 2, the reason you're paying the extra bucks here, is a disappointment. I bought "Grease - Duluxe Edition" because I thought it would include more music from the movie that wasn't included on the original soundtrack. The bonus disc is a big let down.


The second disc features an instrumental version of "Grease" originally released as the "B side" of the "Grease" single.

There are four songs here touted as sing-a-long versions ("Summer Nights", "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "You're the One That I Want", and "Sandy". ) This comes across as sort of a poor man's karaoke. The sing-a-long versions include the original music track and background vocals. I put the CD in my PC to see if they display the lyrics the way a real karaoke disc would - they don't. But, if you get stuck, there are always the lyrics in the booklet I suppose.

Also, included are the single version of "Greased Lightnin'", a 20-second "Rydell Fight Song", a four and a half minute instrumental called "Greased Up and Ready to Go".

There is a Megamix medley, a Dream Mix medley, and two songs are presented in a Martian Mix format. I found the mix versions kind of weird and unappealing.

If you can pick up a good used copy of "Grease - Deluxe Edition" for the same price as the standard soundtrack, go for it. Otherwise, unless you're a "Grease" fanatic or a completist collector, "Grease - Deluxe Edition" isn't worth the extra money.

Five stars for the original soundtrack performances, but a two star deduction for the disappointing Disc 2. .


Grease will always be the word!
I bought the original soundtrack to the movie, but when I saw this special deluxe edition, I knew I had to buy it (I had already purchased the 25th anniversary DVD). I have loved Grease since I was little and I remember singing along with the characters.

I loved the fact that the first disc included songs that were not in the movie such as "It's Raining On Prom Night" and "Freddy My Love. " These were actually two of my favorite songs from the musical, so having them here makes this CD that much better.

I liked the Grease Megamix and the Dream Mix from the 2nd disc. In a strange way the megamix reminded me of the end of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Strange, I know but I was somehow reminded of that. Anyway, this is a great CD to add to your collection, especially if you've loved the movie either since it came out or since you first saw it on VHS. Grease is the word!.


You 're The One That I Want
This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix.
The complete Grease experience. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection. .
