Lots of the Grease hits lyrics - Smash Hits

Let's Get Grease out of the way first right! Entertaining movie, snappy dialogue, poor plot, weak songs, Smash Hits has got the best three. John Travolta is confirmed to be A True Star Of Our Times, though Olivia Neutron-Bomb is decidedly too wet for our taste. The younger you are the more you'll like it - even if at the same time understanding less about the period in which the action is set - but you'd have to be a right misery not to get any fun out of it at all.

As for the Grease album, forget it. One good side, three duff ones. At the price they're asking you're better off buying the singles separately.

Ed - Smash Hits should have made a bigger deal of the Grease soundtrack than they did. With the first issue arriving in October 1978 perhaps the magazine editors felt slightly late to the party. As for the Grease album not being value for money, this is true if you are an Olivia fan, although only relying on the singles you would miss out on the lovely, albeit too short, Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee (reprise) by Olivia and We Go Together not to mention the lovely photos in the gatefold sleeve.

Ed - The lyrics in Smash Hits for You're The One That I Want include the line meditate my direction and for years I thought that this was correct. I actually prefer it to better take my direction.
