Ahead of Hair

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Finally, after much wrangling, the Blank Recording Company is truly chuffed to be able to make available again for the first time since their original releases the three highly sought after and extremely rare albums by John Sangster, originally released on Festival Records from 1967-1969. Ahead Of Hair was his third album, originally released in 1969. It was also his final album for Festival Records. An interpretation of the music featured in the musical, Hair along with three original electronic pieces. Undoubtedly inspired by working with Tully on the Australian version of Hair. Players on this album are John Sangster, Bob McIvor, Ken Herron, Lennie Hutchinson, Derek Fairbrass, Col Nolan and Ben Turpin. Produced by Pat Aulton. John Sangster is known the world over as a legendary Australian jazz multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger. Aside from releasing his own records, his name is on credits on many other albums from straight ahead jazz, prog, psych, country rock, soul and all points between.
