2-disc CD.
From what I can tell, you can buy a CD with the music of the original London cast, and you can get a video on DVD or Blu-ray of the 25th anniversary show at Royal Albert Hall (not the full original cast, unfortunately). This YouTube video contains the audio for the first show (performed Sept. 26, 1986 in London), but no video.
I also found this page that says:
> While never released to the general public, there is a video recording of an early performance of the musical with Michael Crawford that is only available to certain people involved with the Broadway show. Whether or not it will ever be released remains in question.
Officially of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael, Sarah, Steve's performance is not available on DVD, or VHS. You can watch them on Youtube, the film is crude done by someone in the audience.
but there are no sources for that information so I don't know how to verify it.
Sorry I can't be of more help. (Happy early birthday, /u/grizzedram's grandpa!)
I'm going to recommend the Phantom of the Opera 1986 London Cast recording. I've been listening to this album for probably 2 decades now and it's just so good. Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford are amazing as Christine and the Phantom. I know you asked for a single song, though, so I'll recommend The Angel of Music, which is my favorite off this album.
Edit: Oh yeah, I like big butts and I cannot lie.
