Description Hide Show Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical – The Original Broadway Cast Recording 2xLP Vinyl Record (Green & Yellow Swirled / Orange & Yellow Swirled Coloured Vinyl) 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: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical” is a landmark album that captures the spirit of the late 1960s with its vibrant and revolutionary sound. Released in 1968, this original Broadway cast recording is a cultural artifact that reflects the counterculture movement of the time, with its themes of peace, love, and rebellion against the establishment. The musical “Hair” was groundbreaking in many ways, not least because it brought rock music to the Broadway stage in a way that had never been done before. The album features a collection of songs that are both catchy and thought-provoking, with lyrics that address issues such as the Vietnam War, civil rights, and the sexual revolution. The music, composed by Galt MacDermot with lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, is a fusion of rock, pop, and soul, creating a sound that was fresh and exciting for its time. One of the standout tracks on the album is “Aquarius,” which opens the show with a powerful message of hope and change. The song became an anthem for the era, with its iconic line “This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius” capturing the optimism and idealism of the 1960s. Another highlight is “Let the Sunshine In,” which closes the musical on a note of unity and positivity. These songs, along with others like “Good Morning Starshine” and “Hair,” have become classics in their own right, often covered by other artists and featured in various media. The album was well-received by critics and audiences alike, and it played a significant role in the success of the musical. “Hair” was nominated for two Tony Awards in 1969, including Best Musical, and it won a Grammy Award for Best Score from an Original Cast Show Album. The success of the album helped to cement “Hair” as a cultural phenomenon, influencing not only the world of musical theater but also the broader music industry. In terms of production, the album was recorded with the original Broadway cast, capturing the energy and enthusiasm of the live performances. The cast included notable performers such as James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Lynn Kellogg, whose voices brought the characters and songs to life. The recording process aimed to preserve the raw and unpolished sound of the live show, which was part of what made “Hair” so revolutionary. “Hair” is more than just a musical; it’s a snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history. The album’s themes of peace, love, and freedom resonated with a generation that was questioning authority and seeking change. Its impact can still be felt today, as it continues to be performed and celebrated around the world. Overall, “Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical” is a must-listen for anyone interested in the history of musical theater or the cultural shifts of the 1960s.
