Description
Chess is the epic 1984 concept album and musical by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA fame, with lyrics by Tim Rice. This double LP on RCA Records features the London Symphony Orchestra and a stellar cast including Elaine Paige, Murray Head, Tommy Korberg, and Barbara Dickson. The album spawned the worldwide smash hit One Night in Bangkok performed by Murray Head, as well as the powerful ballad I Know Him So Well. Set against the backdrop of Cold War chess championships, the musical blends pop, rock, and orchestral grandeur into a sweeping theatrical experience across four sides of vinyl.
