enquiry Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: July 2005 Posted: July 19 2005, 09:52 Have just tried to get a copy of Tubular Bells as I was around when it was first released.  Got the latest remixed copy but it does not have the narrative for the instruments and it does not seem to reach the same creshendo as I remember - is it my memory after 30 years.  Am in Australia I have the original LP but how do you get it from lp to cd? can anyone help?

And thirty years on, the re-release is just wonderful - shows what a great piece of music the original was. It began my love affair with Mike Oldfield and it is still as strong as ever. -------------- Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority. Back to top

AlexS Group: Members Posts: 194 Joined: Nov. 2005 Posted: Nov. 11 2005, 13:51 Oh yes... I voted for the original - for old times sake I guess. There are a few special moments I particularly like on the orignial, that just were not the same on TB2003. However I do hear the bum notes and imperfections on the original, which have been perfected on TB2003. I'm starting to prefer the introduction on 2003 too. It would be virtually impossible to choose between the original and TB2003 as they're so close. But I guess I'm o connected to the original - no matter how perfect the re-recording, I'd probably stick with the definitive version. That said, I've not heard many of the other versions, only Exposed. -------------- http://www.thelightdream.net http://thelightdreams.bandcamp.com/ Back to top
