After Tubby Bells 2 / 3 / remaster / re-issue / DVD / live / complete / re-recorded / orchestral / piano / boxset / collection etc etc at last we have Tubular Bells "de-luxe edition". This new issue contains a new mix of the original TB, the original TB (as if you didn't have it already) on CD, and a 5.1 surround mix and live 70s TV performance of Part 1 on DVD. Perhaps the whole thing is worth it tho for Viv Stanshall's rioutous and drunken Sailor's Hornpipe, which I believe has only been available as a bootleg up to now. All that for only 12 quid from amazon so definitely worth it. Mind you the TB Ultimate Version is pretty tempting too...
Says Mike on writing his his opera omnia "It was as if something had invaded me spiritually and made me afraid and uncomfortable."
