Advantages: All the old favourites
Disadvantages: Enhanced CD Rom is disappointing.
I picked up the Grease enhanced CD for £3.99, in a UGC cinema shop sale. It's got all the favourites, uncensored, as well as a few of the soundtrack background songs, and songs from the Musical production (mooning,Tears on My Pillow, Hound Dog, Those Magic Changes and more).
24 tracks in total, this CD is totally worth it just for the tunes - did you realise when your eight year old did "Grease" in the brownies she was singing about hookers, and chicks creaming? I was a bit shocked.
The "enhanced" bit, basically means you can stick it into a CD ROM drive and you get bits of film with some of the songs. The songs included on the CD ROM are Hopelessly Devoted to You, Greased Lightning, You're the One that I Want, and Grease is The Word.
To be honest, I found this part of the CD a little dissapointing, but I think the lack of impressive content in the CD ROM is due to the lack of space on the CD.
I'm not complaining, though, for 4 quid. This CD is perfect for anyone who's recently seen the film/been involved in a production of Grease (spot the Music Teacher!) and wants to sing along. Also good for a pre-video sing song with your mates.
Ahh, makes me feel lucky not to work in a school where the average age of the pupils is 27.
