EEP!!

I LOVE that they have both curtain calls on there too. Fantastic <33

Can this pleeease just be out right now?? I need it. I've been listening to my Actors Fund Benefit recording, and it is awesome, but.. I need THIS cast recording!

---

Wow, that's quite a complete recording! Very excited about that.

~Steven

As much as I love the OBC which I have been listening to since '69, I am anxiously awaiting this new recording which will hopefully be mixed a little bit better then the original.

---

The War is looked over again? Ugh. Instead of the curtain calls, I would have preferred a couple of cut numbers like Dead End and The Bed.

---

Mister Matt, I'd love to have "The Bed" and "Dead End" also...

~Steven

I say no to "Hippie Life." Why would they reference themselves as hippies? They wouldn't and shouldn't, and therefore shouldn't be in the show.

~Steven

I can live without Hippie Life. The show itself makes the song redundant. If the show is designed to illustrate hippie life, then there is no need to recap it so literally. I've seen it used in the show and it just grinds everything to a halt.

I've always heard Sheila Franklin as the lead-in to I Believe in Love. Isn't it her introduction?

---

Well, back in the day we Hippies did call ourselves Hippies and were damn proud of it!

Question to the original title of post.

Shouldn't it be ORC09?

The original Broadway recording is the OBC and there was another revival.

I'm thrilled beyond words that they decided to try for a more complete recording. I really wasn't expecting that and I applaud whoever it was that made the decision.

9 Sheila Franklin

I wonder why this got its own track. Isn't it about 10 seconds long?

23 Be In
26 Oh Great God of Power
34 Give Up All Desires / Hail Mary

I'm happy these songs are finally on record.

so excited.

Somebody hasn't bought the CD re-releases. A fairly full version of HAIR's score at the time was recorded and is replicated in full on compact disc, including "3-5-0-0" and "What a Piece of Work is Man".
