Oldfield, Mike - Tubular Bells - Used CD

 1973.  Mikey hits it big with this overblown album, the cool main theme becoming the theme

The Exorcist.  

while this could've been edited down to one program on an 8-track...with the CD, I'd recommend listening to the first 5 minutes of side one, and then clicking to side two... before I get too critical, I have to recognize that this was 1973...and also Mikey was still a teenager and he plays Organ (Farfisa, Lowrey, Hammond), Bass, Piano, Glockenspiel, Guitars [Speed, Mandolin-like, Fuzz], Electronics [Taped Motor Drive Amplifier Organ Chord], Percussion, Flageolet, Tubular Bells, Timpani [Concert], Guitars [Sounding Like Bagpipes, Spanish], Vocals [Piltdown Man], Chorus [Moribund], Conductor [Choir].  I think he does bootleg sampling too.  I think this album likely helped put Virgin Records on the map and provide funds for their operations--but don't quote me on that.  -- winch
