Released in 1968, this album is the definitive audio document of the "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" that redefined Broadway. Hair was a cultural phenomenon that brought the 1960s hippie counterculture, sexual revolution, and anti-Vietnam War sentiment to the mainstream stage. The "main story" of the recording is its raw energy; unlike traditional polished show tunes of the era, the music composed by Galt MacDermot with lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni utilized a rock band and soulful, gritty vocals to capture the spirit of the youth movement.


Features: This specific copy is a UK Mono pressing on the orange RCA Victor label (catalog number RD 7959). While the show premiered off-Broadway in 1967, this recording features the 1968 Broadway cast, which included future stars like Diane Keaton and Melba Moore. The Side 2 tracklist includes the era-defining anthems "Good Morning Starshine" and the powerful finale "The Flesh Failures (Let The Sunshine In)".
