Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells The Ultimate Edition

Since its release in 1973 Mike Oldfield's multi platinum selling album 'Tubular Bells' has provided timeless inspiration to countless artists and to say it is considered a classic is somewhat of an understatement. Offering a rich palette of sounds from organs to electric guitars and pianos to glockenspiels the first ever release on Virgin Records had something for everyone and was a huge success. This fantastic new version of Oldfield's manufactured vision comes completely remastered by the man himself and issued in new packaging. A DVD containing 5.1 surround sound mixes as well as the live BBC performance from 1973 is part and parcel of the box set and accompanied by the previously unheard demos and rough mixes the 'Ultimate Edition' also includes a 60 page hardback book which tells the story of 'Tubular Bells' and comes with notes from Oldfield. If you thought that was it think again! Complementary plectrums a giant poster a postcard leaflets and tickets are all amongst a hefty amount of bonus memorabilia.This really is the 'Ultimate Edition' and contains everything you will ever need in relation to this modern masterpiece.
