The Terminal Barbershop - Hair Styles (1969 Atco)





Maybe it is not absolutely wrong to say this is the third album from the baroque psych-rock group called "Ars Nova". At least four ex Ars Nova members appear on this project. I have for long been annoyed on listening any versions of Hair musical. This will be the absolutely last one...and only one as well. What i'm trying to say is: Terminal  Barbershop takes the hair music on a very different "ars nova" -level when comparing it to the original one. Would be interesting to hear what reasons led them to make an album hair covers. After all this may be the best rendition of that old hippie musical. The  version of for example "Where Do I Go" is enjoyable. A footnote: There seems to be only one copy of this available on ebay now and someone asks 100 dollars for it! I purchased this for 3 euros and that is about 4 dollars. Max price for this, when ex cond... and when two insane bidders do not meet on ebay, is, i think, 15 dollars.
