Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 20 2000, 20:54 The 25th anniversary edition has been remastered. How much difference that will make depends on what sort of equipment you play CDs on and how hard you listen. Things like tape hiss has been supressed, odd noises from dodgy edits and things have been removed, and the tonal balance has been altered slightly (high frequencies added to parts where they've been lost due to huge amounts of overdubs, bass brought out a little, that sort of thing). It's also on a gold CD, and has a small booklet inside the cover (it has a hardback book type cover, instead of a regular jewel case), containing extracts from the book "The making of mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells".

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 20 2000, 21:16 I have it. The inner sleeve says "... 25 years later we have been able to locate (strangely for the first time on CD) the original master tapes". BUT: The "drunk" version of the Sailors' Hornpipe ("The Hallway, a great house true", etc.) is still NOT on it!!! Can anybody solve this contradiction for me? -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

CarstenKuss Group: Musicians Posts: 362 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: April 21 2000, 04:54 I know now: The words are on the original RECORDING. They're NOT on the original MASTER (see Lyrics & Language forum). This master was also used for 25th Anniversary. But the BOXED version has been reMIXED and reMASTERED from the original recording, now WITH the words! So: BOXED is in a way "more original", isn't it?? -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Arnold vO Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: July 2000 Posted: July 25 2000, 17:13 As with the 25th anniversary CD, I noticed that all CD versions (even the new HDCD) are shorter in time than my LP version of TB1. I still play my TB1 from the 4Lp-set BOXED. The timings are part one 25:55 (on CD just 25:00) and part two 25:47 (on CD just 23:50). I understand that the Sailors Hornpipe is not on CD, that explains the loss of 2 minutes. But how about the loss of 1 minute on part one? For me, it's the reason I won't buy the CD. Back to top

It lists the last instrument to enter on pt.1 to be "Turbular Bells". Also, the track lengths are incorrect (pt.1 is ~25:50) But I suppose you knew that already. :-) -------------- <P>Mr. ChiRho Email to chirho@mine.nu.almost (guess what drops) Visit ChiRho Network Central [URL=http://www.chirho.i12.com/]http://www.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Check the forums (topic suggestions still welcome[URL=http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/]http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Back to top

ChiRho Group: Members Posts: 195 Joined: Feb. 2001 Posted: Mar. 01 2001, 11:34 I rushed last time. The CD edition listes pt.1 as being 25:00, is does actually time in at ~25.50, so there is actually no loss of material in that section. Pt. 2 is listed as 23:50, which again I think is shorter. I am not sure - I am on public computer, and CD drive is fitted with a lock! Have these people never heard (of)* the joys of electronic music? ==================================== * Applies both with and without this -------------- <P>Mr. ChiRho Email to chirho@mine.nu.almost (guess what drops) Visit ChiRho Network Central [URL=http://www.chirho.i12.com/]http://www.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Check the forums (topic suggestions still welcome[URL=http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/]http://forum.chirho.mine.nu/[/URL] Back to top

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: June 15 2009, 16:37 Now that maccafan has brought this to light I would like to give some facts about some of the questions asked here a long time ago (in a not too far galaxy ) just in case somebody still is wondering about it The length of the tracks are diferent because is a different remix than the original/25th anniversary/HDCD version, so some parts may be longer while some others may have been shortened, for example, The Sailor's Hornpipe section is longer in Boxed which includes the Viv Stanshall drunken description of The Manor. What about the new Bahamas 2009 remix? It also has slightly different tracks length cause some modifications have been done (for example, in part 1 there's an additional repetition which is not included on the original mix). Back to top
