This 50th Anniversary celebration edition of ‘Tubular Bells’, overseen by Mike Oldfield, contains a brand new half-speed Abbey Road master of the original album, plus a second album that unites several beguiling versions of Oldfield’s masterwork for the first time. Receiving its first outing on vinyl is ‘Tubular X’, that Mike recorded in 1998 for an X-Files album; Mike’s remix collaboration with York, the original Mike Oldfield’s Single (‘Theme From Tubular Bells’) and, for the first time since a very limited run in 2012, Mike’s stunning ‘Tubular Bells/In Dulci Jubilo (Music for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games)’. Of particular interest brand new eight-minute track ‘Tubular Bells 4 Intro’, which may well be the last thing ever recorded by Oldfield.
