edited July 2006 in Strut Central
This has been bugging for the last few weeks and it has become an obsession really.So far i've counted 25 to 29 officially from what i've seen, heard or dug up in stores. Just to get it out my system and others who are interested in this HAIR craze. I suggest we put together a full list of litterally every recordedHAIR album on the entire planet, damnit !!!! Scans of some collections would be... I will start off first.Terminal Barbershop - Hairstyles ( ATCO 1969 )Hair- original Dutch cast LP

    Not songs covered by some artists but whole albums.

    Son Don't risk it.

    I've been working o ncompleting the Hair discography for quite a few years now and let me tell you it is not an easy task

    Off the top of my head I know I've grabbed these so far:

    -Original Broadway cast
    -Off Broadway Cast
    -UK Cast
    -German cast (Haare)
    -Mexican Cast (Los Shakes)
    -Japanese Cast
    -Dutch Cast
    -Israeli Cast
    -Austrailian Cast (performed by Tully)
    -Australian Cast (Performed By Alyn Ainsworth) AKA the Pickwick version AKA the Sears/ Roebuck version
    -Norweigian Cast
    -Argentinian Cast
    -French Cast (2 different covers)
    -London Musical Cast

    and I know that there are at least 4 more I am huinting for and possibly more, I still havent even begun to look into any possible African casts

    I'll add no broadway versions later on


  • Various - Hair: brazilian version

    Hi Ad*m

    I'm looking for a very good copy for you; right now I have 2, but they are not in perfect condition.
    Whenever I find a really good copy, it's yours.


    Peace

  • There's also a danish version made for theather play.

    Dress

  • how many "disinhaireted" (sp?) versions

    As far as I know there is just that one version of DisinHAIRited. Then again I consider that the most unlistenable of all the Hair albums I got so whenever I see one out and about I just skip over it

    Moogman:[/b] thank you so much

    and here are a couple more versions I know I have

    -Tom Scott (Flying Dutchman)
    -Ray Bloch Singers (Same albums as the UK released Aquarians)
    -Aquarius Age (Itco)
    -Bobby Bryant (World Pacific)
    -Graham Walker Sound (Alan Hawkshaw)
    -Jason Ryder Sound
    -Don Kirchner Cuts Hair
    -Glat MacDermot's Hair Pieces (Verve Forecast)
    -Hair Cuts (Kilmarnock)
    -I forget the name but the one with "Ripped Open By Metal Explosions"

    Theres more but I'd have to comb through to find them.

    I also got a page with 10 reviews of Hair LP here on soulstrut

    -Mort Garson "Electronic Hair"
    -Robert Byrd "Electric Hair"

    and a couple Hair grails

    -Dennis Coffey Trio "Hair n Thangs"

    31 Flavors play Hair (Crown)

  • Jason Ryder Sound
    Graham Walker Sound
    Ricky Martin Sound

    Aren't these identical?

    The Jason Ryder one is as tepid as it gets while the Graham Walker is actually a group lead by Alan Hawkshaw of the Mohawks.

    I havent heard the Ricky Martin one but the dude makes Kareoke bangers so I'm sure this one is

    Hey Guzzo

    Actually, Graham Walker was the leader of the group; Hawkshaw only played the organ.
    Lots of people think that Graham Walker was a Hawkshaw's fake name, but according to VinylVUlture, Walker is a real person.

    I've had all 3 of them and I've only kept the Ricky Martin (no vida loca ) because it was in the best condition and had the best cover. It's definitely the same as the Graham Walker Sound. I might be wrong about the Jason Ryder one. I sold it a long time ago. I just had it bookmarked in my mind as being yet another packaging of Graham Walker, but it was probably just another poopy rendition like you say.
