Ahh, finally a topic I can relate to! :)

VINYL:
off-Broadway cast...an original pressing and a reissue...
quadrophonic Broadway cast recording
original London cast, US pressing
Fresh Hair
Divine Hair / Mass In F (my personal favorite), autographed by Robin  :)
Movie soundtrack
Israeli cast
French cast
Japanese cast (those Japanese effing ROCKED too!)
DisinHAIRited (it was still-sealed with the obi when I bought it for fifty
cents a few years ago!)

REEL-TO-REEL:
original London cast, US pressing, autographed by Rado
DisinHAIRited (I don't have a reel-to-reel deck, so a friend transferred it
to me -- either there was something weird going on with his equipment, or
the reel version has extra reverb)

CD:
Movie soundtrack (1999 reissue)
the London most-of-original-cast-plus-some-of-Fresh-Hair CD
London 1993
Original Mexican cast
Original Australian cast
Broadway Musical Company, recorded live in Sweden
2003 Broadway/Off-Broadway reissue [I'd count the 1988 reissue, but it's
really my wife's copy that she bought before we ever met!]

I also have cassette dubs of a few other things, like the Let The Sunshine
In tribute/cast recording combo from 1997 and the original German cast...

One thing that's really cool about Hair is that if you sequence all the
songs together -- used and unused -- you can pretty much get the entire
story, who the characters are, what happens to them, what they're thinking,
etc.
