From AllMusic (4.5 Stars, AMG Album Pick):
Dennis Coffey's solo debut offers a primer in psychedelic funk, marshaling fuzz-laden guitar wizardry, deeply soulful organ fills, and rubber-band rhythms to forge one of the most sample-ready records of the late '60s. As its title suggests, Hair & Thangs draws much of its inspiration from the flower-power musical Hair, covering the soundtrack's "Let the Sunshine In," "Aquarius," and "Sodomy." Coffey's trademark guitar distortion suffuses the songs with a grit and edge that effectively undercuts the saccharine flavor of the originals, but also he retains the instincts and humility of a sideman, avoiding pyrotechnics to allow organist Lyman Woodard and drummer Andrew Davis to shine on each cut. The disc's flip side is even more effective, with ingeniously funky readings of the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing," Charles Wright's "Do Your Thang," and the Beatles' "Hey Jude." DJs and beat-freaks will find much to sample and savor here. - Jason Ankeny

Trail Off Matrix Reads: MAS 7002 A & B, hand etched.
Vinyl is VG+, the only surface marks are very minor, vinyl retains a nice sheen & the labels are clean with s few barely visible spindle marks.There are some light tics during Hey Jude but playback is, for the most part, VERY Clean.
Jacket is VG+, there are some crinkles along the edges and across the corners and the opening edge is a bit ruffed and dinged and there are some minor corner dings. The high gloss cover is a fingerprint magnet and there is a bit of discoloration to the back cover which appears to be the result of finger oils.
