Rating:  - Original John Waters Hairspray movie soundtrack
I had this tape from years ago, and recently bought the CD. Excellent foot tapping music from the awesome movie by John Waters. In my opinion, the original movie is so much better than the remake, and certainly any one will enjoy the antics of Divine and Ricky Lake! It's a great movie soundtrack that you can "shake a tail feather" and dance too...
Rating:  - Great Flashback!
I great throwback to the original movie. Each song brings images of the movie to mind. I was disappointed to see the 'Dirty Boogie' song missing but all in all a great purchase. I am glad I bought it.
Rating: - Great eclectic 60s collection!!!
John Waters always has a knack for supplying his movies with some of the most off-beat, least heard music and Hairspray (the ORIGINAL!) is right up there with the rest. Great music for a party or for driving, sing right along and do "The Madison" with Tracy and the rest!!!
Rating: - At last, oldies but goodies you're not sick of the second time around...
The movie Hairspray by John Waters boasts a score so good it's almost criminal! This CD contains twelve great songs that deserve much more attention than they ever received; and just one listen proves it.
The great songs on this CD include Toussaint McCall's heartrending ballad "Nothing Takes The Place Of You." Toussaint McCall sings this beautifully and the musical arrangement enhances the beauty of this number. Jan Bradley performs "Mama Didn't Lie" which is another excellent song. Jan sings about protecting her heart from boys who don't want to give her true love. "Foot Stompin'" boasts an infectious beat by The Flares as they sing about dancing to what was once known as "race" music. Excellent!
"You'll Lose A Good Thing" is a very romantic ballad by Barbara Lynn. In this song Barbara reminds her man to treat her well.
One of very favorite numbers on this album is Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity." Gene delivers this song very well; his voice is strong and energetic. The musical arrangement will stun you, too. Another excellent song is "The Madison Time" by The Ray Bryant Combo. "The Madison Time" is essentially a great instrumental number with a man telling dancers on the dance floor which steps to take. The arrangement is slick, $exy and very catchy, too.
Despite the fact that this CD boasts a fine collection of obscure oldies, the song "Hairspray" was written for the 1988 movie. "Hairspray" represents camp at its best and you will enjoy this ... Read More
Rating: - Best Song Missing
The reason this only gets 4*'s is because it's without the Bunker Hill tune, "Hide And Go Seek (Part 1)".
When the LP was first released, I picked up a copy and was also disappointed not to find the remaining songs from the movie.
For years I had been collecting the songs that brought my best memories
of my youth. Here was a chance to add a few of the rarer ones.
Since then, I've been able to complete my own collection of the tunes of Hairspray. And yes, "Hide And Go Seek" was my number one priority.
I found it on 2 different CD's. "The Golden Age Of American Rock 'n' Roll Vol. 6" on Ace and the ultra-rare, "Do You Remember? 30 Original Golden Oldies" on Mr. Maestro.
Luckily, though, "The Roach", "Footstompin'", "Mama Didn't Lie" and "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" are included in the Hairspray LP/CD, which are very much repsonsible for its 4* rating.
The only so-called weak tunes on this recording are the title track, "Hairspray" and "I Wish I Were A Princess".
