They're on the back of the album, are they not? Or is that not all of them...?

Well, we've got some guitar (all over the place), piano (intro, finale, and piltdown man section), farfisa and lory organ (intro, ambient guitars, harmonics, and finale), glockenspiel (intro, part after intro, and finale), orchestral chimes (spooky part before finale, finale), piltdown vocal, real choir (peace, and finale), mando? (finale), bass (all over the place), cymbals, drums (piltdown), timpani (before piltdown), violin? (sailor's hornpipe maybe), and flagonet (somewhere). That's just what I can think of right now, and I'm sure they're other places.

There was also a detailed analysis of "Tubular Bells 1" with all of the instruments and their locations mentioned on Sirmustapha's website when it used to be on http://www.geocities.com/sirmustapha.  However since Sirmustapha has moved to http://sirmustapha.mylimbo.net the "Tubular Bells" analysis is no longer working.
