''Expanded version of the original cast recording of the Broadway hit “Hair". “Hair" is a 1968 rock musical with lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot. The work reflects the creators' observations of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the late 1960s. The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale. "Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" reached the #1 spot on the Billboard chart and received a Grammy award. For the first time ever, the complete recording of “Hair" is now available on a deluxe and expanded 2LP-set. The album features classic hits like "Aquarius", "Ain't Got No", "Let The Sunshine In" and "Hair". There are multiple guest appearances, including Diane Keaton, Idris Muhammad, Melba Moore and many more. Hair is available on black vinyl. The package contains a 8-page booklet with pictures and liner notes.'' (PopCultcha)

 

 

The music is heartening and invigorating, including the classics "Aquarius," "Good Morning Starshine," "Frank Mills" (which was covered by the Lemonheads on their 1992 album It's a Shame About Ray), and "Easy to Be Hard." The joy that has been instilled in this original Broadway cast recording shines through, capturing in the performances of creators Gerome Ragni and James Rado exactly what they were aiming for -- not to speak for their generation, but to speak for themselves.''
