'''''Chain''''' was [[Edinburgh]] musician [[Paul Haig]]'s third album and was released in May 1989 on Circa Records, a subsidiary of [[Virgin Records]]. ''Chain'', which Haig financed himself, was recorded and completed in 1988, but it sat on the shelf after the normally accommodating [[Les Disques Du Crepuscule]] decided not to take up the option of releasing it. The album was co-produced by long-time Haig cohort, [[Alan Rankine]], instrumentalist with celebrated [[Dundee]] band, [[Associates|The Associates]]. There was another Associates connection on the album - the track "Chained" was written by Haig's good friend, [[Billy Mackenzie]]. Haig returned the favour and gave Mackenzie the track "Reach The Top" for his album ''The Glamour Chase'', which after many years in limbo was finally released in 2002.

One single, "[[Something Good (Paul Haig song)|Something Good]]", was taken from the album, but much to Circa's disappointment, neither the single nor the album sold in great numbers.

The sleeve features a shot of [[Audrey Hepburn]], taken by the celebrated photographer, [[Angus McBean]] in 1958.

Deleted for many years, ''Chain'' was given re-released by [[Cherry Red Records]] in November 2007.
