Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, featuring Part 1 of the prog rock-minimalist classic in two contemporary transcriptions on an audiophile-grade LP. The 1973 debut album, which fused instrumental rock with experimental minimalism, launched Mike Oldfield's career and established Virgin Records, going on to sell 15 million copies worldwide. The first side of the original album, 'Opus One,' is the focus here, with composer Marcel Bergmann crafting an intricate arrangement for pairs of pianos and synthesizers that retains the multi-layered rhythmic richness of Oldfield's original while shifting the feel toward the classical minimalism genre.
