Grease, 25th Anniversary (Deluxe Edition)

Amazon.com There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley Product description Grease (The Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture) - John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John / Deluxe Edition / 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition / Polydor 2x Audio CD 2003 / B0001011-02 UPC 602498097731 /// Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture is the original motion picture soundtrack for the 1978 film Grease.
