Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
'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

Rating:  - One of the best musicals ever
I love this soundtrack. The storyline is more relevant than ever, but even if it weren't the music is terrific.
Rating: - Let the Sun Shine...
Hair...the seminal Rock Musical for the ages... Once upon a time in the mythical land called America great thoughts and changes began to appear across the land. People, especially the younger one's began to actually listen to the music...their music...Full of promises and prayers, asking the questions and finding the answers... Love...Understanding ...fellowship... permeated the soft sweet aromatic waves of the times.
The age of Aquarius came and went...only the music remains.... Let the sunshine, let the sunshine, shine through...
Rating:  - Get the movie soundtrack, it's way better
I came to this backwards in time; I saw the movie version first and listened to that soundtrack. Go and buy that one, not this one; that one is way better. The musicality is outstanding on that one, whereas this has a second-rate AM radio sound. I was a pre-teen when the play of Hair came out and I remember most of the songs from AM radio in the late 60s--but after listening to the soundtrack I realize why most of the hits from Hair were recorded by other people. "Aquarius" was popularized by the Fifth Dimension. "Hair" was popularized by the the Cowsills. "Easy to Be Hard" was popularized by Three Dog Night. All those versions are better than the soundtrack (and some are not very good). Listen to Cheryl Barnes sing "Easy to Be Hard" in the film: it is outstanding.
Rating: - TIMELESS CLASSIC
This is certainly a classic of the era. To understand it fully you would have to have seen - even if it was 40 years ago.
