Chess

[altariel]

Wednesday. I found an elderly tape containing a recording of post-ABBA joy-fest Chess. The best thing about it – apart from the glorious 80s cheese – is that I recorded it off my brother’s LP (remember those?) on my dad’s record player (or those?) which really didn’t work terribly well. In between all the hissing, there are occasional ‘bop bop’ noises as the thing struggles to push the turntable round again but, absolutely best of all, it couldn’t manage to do that at a constant speed, which means the singers waver in and out of tune throughout. Magic.
