Editorial Reviews: "America's First Tribal Love-Rock Musical," went the advertising, and nobody could argue with that. Hair opened on Broadway in 1968 and immediately became a smash, although no one could quite discern what it was about. Something like, "War is bad, drugs are good, racism bites the big one, and nudity is nice." Although all these sentiments are expressed on this album which, like the show, has not dated well, the quality of the music makes it forgiveable. The songs weren't really rock, but they accomplished what all good pop songs set out to do; stick in the craw. In fact, several of its tracks later became hits for pop acts, including "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" (The Fifth Dimension), "Hair" (The Cowsills), and "Good Morning Starshine" (Oliver). --Dawn Eden
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: How it began, and how it grew Comment: The musical 'Hair' is easily one of my favourites. Here, the broadway album has been remastered for much better sound (many of the vocals are a lot clearer than on previous releases). The second disc contains the original 'off-broadway' album - never before released on CD. It provides a great insight into the humble beginnings of this experimental 'happening'. Also, the interview track with one of the show's creators Galt MacDermot is quite interesting (although probably unnecessary). Altogether, great value for money - and a must-buy for any fan of the show (or Hippie ideals!) More Reviews
