The song has two halves.  Or rather, the original CotBS has
two songs, Elric the Enchanter part 1 and Elric the Enchanter part
2.  They are back to back on CotBS.  On Live Chronicles, the
first is on the first disc as spoken narration of one verse only.
The second shows up in its entirety much later on the second disc.
Of course, that is on the 2cd set, they are on the same disc on the
one disc set, still split apart.

Much the pity, of the two "parts" on CotBS I much prefer the first
part.

As for the "first half" of version 1...  more like one quarter.

In my mind, the codex should be amended as follows:

Elric the Enchanter Part 1:
        1   The Chronicle of the Black Sword
     L 2   Live Chronicles [single CD] (Narration)
     L 2   Live Chronicles [2CD set]

       * version 2 is narration of a few lines of version 1.

Elric the Enchanter Part 2:
       1  The Chronicle of the Black Sword
     L 2  Live Chronicles [single CD] (Elric the Enchanter)
     L 2  Live Chronicles [2 CD set]


I don't have it in front of me, but if memory serves on my Live Chronicles
part 2 is labeled as part 2... I am guessing from the notes that on the 1
cd set they might not have done this.
