    It's probably one of the millions of crappy "hairsploitation" records out there.

    don't test my hair gangsta

    BTW this LP is fairly common in the UK and doesnt go for much, that being said I've never seen one domestically at any price.

    that one was at the GM a month or so ago...for about a tenner.
    I thought of you, and then decided you probably already had it!

    never heard it though, I got another hair LP from Los Shakes (without the female vocalist) and it kind of sucks but this looks like something I need

    It's the Reader's Digest reissue of the original London stage cast version (including Paul Nicolas and Marsha Hunt). It originally came out on Polydor with a different sleeve. It's not a bad version of 'Hair' but it doesn't get repeated plays. There are some really nice breaks on there though. As Guzzo said it's very common in the UK alongside the Jason Ryder version, the Bruce Baxter version and the Polydor press of this one. Great sleeve though.
