Rare Japanese import 1st release soundtrack double album to cult film musical 'Grease' (1978, dir. Randal Kleiser), featuring songs by Frankie Valli, John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John and Sha-Na-Na.
The movie starred John Travolta as Danny, Olivia Newton-John as Sandy, and Stockard Channing as Betty Rizzo, the leader of the Pink Ladies.
It could be hard to find a better example of this Japanese rarity.
Various – Grease 2-LP (The Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture) (1978)
Condition:
VINYLS: VG/EX. Look superbly clean on visual inspection. No surface marks, scuffs or hairlines on any sides. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb throughout. Just some mild surface noise at very start of sides 1 and 4. Some light static during a few quieter cues, fadeouts and between some tracks. Vocals sound fabulous. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. A fantastic listen.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: EX. Colours are bright, unfaded and clean. No dents, scuffs or marks on front or back. Edges, aperture and spine in great shape. Some corners have very mild rubbing but nothing major. Obi is clean, intact and attached. Inner gate is entirely unmarked. Only defect is light staining/soiling to very bottom of inner part of Obi. Near excellent overall.
INNER SLEEVES: VG. Original. Clear D-shaped poly sleeves. Mild crimping and creasing but intact.
INSERT: EX. Gatefold in duotone dark green. No obvious marks, creases or folds. A super example.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:
MINT: The
record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or
deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as
the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records
advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The
record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little
lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight
wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has
obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in
sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional
light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without
any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has
been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,
perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents
suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration,
etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not
been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may
even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or
defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to
scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly
damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
