Greased is an EP by Less Than Jake featuring songs from the musical Grease including Summer Nights, You're The One That I Want and Greased Lightning. Greased has been released twice - the first release was discontinued to avoid a lawsuit with Paramount Pictures (who own the rights to the film) and Universal Music Group (who own the rights to the songs featured in the film Grease), and the second was released several months later after a deal had been reached. It is perhaps the most difficult to find album by the band.

[edit] Criticism

The album is considered to be a flop to critics and audiences. It did not sell well at the market and did not live up to the hype of the musical and film, Grease and the soundtrack album version of Grease. Some songs contained profanity and sounded vastly different from the original Grease soundtrack.
