Turn the number 4 to 45 degrees to the right and you'll see the nice Tubular Bells logo . Turn the number 999 to 180 degrees and you'll see this awful satanic number ... that i don't want to write myself , too afraid with these satanic things ! Back to top

At least they can give the chance to choose if we want Mike to write our name + his autograph too - that would be nice and much better than a ultimate edition with just his name that later you find on eBay overpriced! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: April 23 2009, 19:29 Waiting anxiously to get it through MO.com.I think it'll be a bit expansive than in Amazon.co.uk. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Yeah and doesn't the year count for anything? shouldn't it be 6.6.6.9? On the little video you see 06.06.06 then the last number rolls over to become 06.06.09. Pointless really.

You're right, they needn't have bothered making the effort. The number 666 is inscrpited on every item bought and sold already. The first, middle and last but not numerically written number on every barcode on every item in the world is 6. So in that sense it will already and indeed is already on the Tubular Bells packaging and every other cd you own! -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

tubular_trekkie Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: April 24 2009, 08:02 This Amazon business is bizarre. Perhaps it's only the signed and numbered 'limited edition' copies that will be available at the new website? If so it looks like they may be a good deal more expensive than the £70 touted by Amazon - yikes! I'm not sure I'd want to pay even more money just for the sake of getting Mike's autograph and a special numbered set if the contents turn out to be identical. Methinks Universal/Mercury are going to make a bomb out of this... -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

captain cavern Group: Members Posts: 267 Joined: Oct. 2003 Posted: April 24 2009, 15:53 Quote that 666 number is just so stupid.. Yes.   And now, on the website, the release date is 08.06.09 Quote Perhaps it's only the signed and numbered 'limited edition' copies that will be available at the new website? Hm...

captain cavern Group: Members Posts: 267 Joined: Oct. 2003 Posted: April 24 2009, 16:10 ... but on the site, it is clear : there will only be 500 of these superb limited edition sets (signed and numbered) and they're only available via this site. Back to top

Hengist the Square Wheel Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: April 2009 Posted: April 24 2009, 19:01 Can someone help me? I've been to the official website to register for the Ultimate edition and got to the suitable page. It says 'Click here' to register, but there is nothing hot to click. I've already signed up for the mailing list, so I can't see what I'm supposed to do. Back to top

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: April 25 2009, 05:52 I registered but have no confirmation email, so do not know if I have a chance to be one of the lucky 500! It is a bit frustrating...am considering getting in touch with Universal ( ?is it ?) to see what's best to do.... -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

I think The Beatles are re-releasing their entire back catalogue in remastered form on 09/09/09.(Revolution 9 yadda yadda)..So as well as 666 being a referance to The Exorcist movie.It`s probably some kind of music exec "in-joke" or something,that I`m sure sounded completely hilarious when it was raised round the conference table.Unfortunatly rather than leave the joke there,and actualy getting down to maybe marketing the album properley.They`ve decided to pick up the ball and run with it down abstract reality highway,before someone had the good sense to tell them that they were three years too late.As well as it being completely nonsensical in the first place.And unfunny.

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: April 25 2009, 12:14 Am I right in thinking that the number 666 had ALOT more to do with 'The Omen' then 'The Exorcist'?
