Free Music Notes for Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Very Upbeat Songs
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to the music from Grease brings back the good memories of watching the movie. The music is funny (Summer Nights; Beauty School Dropout; Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee; Greased Lighting), touching (There Are Worse Things I Could Do; Hopelessly Devoted To You) and very 70's (Blue Moon; Rock "n" Roll Is Here To Stay; Born To Hand Jive). John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sing great, but the supporting cast (Stockard Channing, Sha-Na-Na), also contribute to a good sound. Great rock and roll!Free Music Review: Classic nostalgia
Hit: 4 Stars
I of course remember when I was eight years old when Grease came out and I played the singles to death on the turntable. Revisiting now I remember how *cumbersome* it is. The first ten tracks are absolutely essential. They are the strength and reflection of the soundtrack and what makes the movie go.
Any listener should not be remiss about the cumbersome nature of the soundtrack. One can skip over easily the songs they don't like. Not like the ol' turntable vinyl where that convenience was not there. Let's face it, too much Sha-Na-Na is too much Sha-Na-Na.
Overall, it's a great buy for the asking price for those who remember. A versatile Travolta and Newton-John strutted their stuff in a time they could do no wrong. And contributions by Franki Valli, Channing and Avalon make this a good listen.
Free Music Review: A feel-good, sing-along soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I'm not usually a fan of movie soundtracks, my one big exception is Grease! Who wouldn't love this collection of sing-along songs that brighten your mood no matter when, or how often, you listen to them? Since Grease is also one of my all-time favorite movies, hearing the songs automatically makes me recall the particular scene they correlate with, and I invariably start smiling.
Grease consists of many talented actors and actresses, most of whom could sing as well as they could act. Therefore, each song -- including numerous solos by John Travolta, Oliva Newton-John and Stockard Channing -- is a treat to listen to.
If I were only allowed to bring one CD to the proverbial deserted island, Grease would probably be it! This is one purchase that will pay off, time and time again.
Free Music Review: Great Memories Resurfaced
Hit: 5 Stars
Given all the hype surrounding the upcoming revival of "Grease", I decided to pull out the smash #1 soundtrack version from 1978 and relisten to an album I played non-stop almost thirty years ago.
Sure the cast is a bit old for their respective characters, but John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John & Stoccard Channing were terrific.
Based on the stage version from the early seventies, the soundtrack wisely included new songs written specifically for the screen version: "Grease" (#1), "Hopelessly Devoted To You" (#3), "Sandy", and "You're The One That I Want" (#1). The songs remain fun & fresh-sounding - even today.

Free Music Review: Ruined the sentiment
Hit: 3 Stars
It took almost 4 weeks to get this delivered! Regardless of the product arrived or whether the person enjoyed it was completely ruined by the headache recieving it caused. It will be a long time before I ever consider purchasing something from amazon directly. I would not have minded if the tracking part of the site worked, but the tracking said that it was at the recipient's local post office. So after trudging down there, the recipient informed me that it wasn't and not to worry about it. Of course at this point I knew the whole gift could have been diamonds and they wouldn't be happy. Amazon completely ruined my Christmas gift giving and all I got was a sorry.
