Product Description
CD89890 Chicago, opening night (Verdon, Rivera, Orbach)
Here's a re-upload of the recording of opening night on Broadway of the original production of CHICAGO (June 3, 1975), which I first posted here a couple of years ago.
It's missing a few bits, including (unfortunately) the trial scene. In the first act, there a couple of weird glitches (some of which have brief tracks of their own) when the sound stops and starts a few times, but those are brief.
It's an audience recording and not the best sound for 1975, but it's pretty listenable, if occasionally a little faint. The overture may make you think the sound is going to be awful, but after that it improves.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
