when i first found Chess, i could not believe it was written by Benny & Bjorn from ABBA. but listening to this chronology wiped that from my mind. The music sounded so "ABBA-like" on the concept album. It's nice to see how the music and orchestrations have evolved.
I'm a huge fan of "Chess" and was curious where you got the 1986 Prince Edward Theatre bits. I'd love to hear the Murray Head sung versions "Commie Newspapers" and "The Interview."
@luvlykir This should be included on all the Chess CDs based on Concept/London/Stockholm (that means: 1984 Concept Album, 1994 In Concert Gothenburg, 2001 Danish Tour Cast Recording, 2002 Pa Svenska and 2008 In Concert Royal Albert Hall) except the 1988 Broadway Cast Recording.
I love this. I have this. Iv seen loads of covers so glad people are hearing the very original and amazing version.

Great to hear some of the 1986 production! Very rare! Never heard Elaine, Tommy and Murray singing those songs before. Thank you for uploading.
