I just came from Mike's website,  where I clicked on the box for light and shade... to read this:

   

30 years ago as a young musician of 19, I was given one week of studio time at The Manor House near Oxford. In this week I recorded the entire first half of the Album that was later to become Tubular Bells. This Album went on to become the most successful rock instrumental Album of all time. To my ears however I was always aware of it's imperfections. Notes out of tune, out of time, rushed playing, mistakes in performance, electronic noise etc etc... I always meant to re record it but for one reason or another I never got round to it... Until Now. The re recording has been a great pleasure and it is so nice to hear my first piece of music realised to it's full potential. The 5.1 mix is especially magical. I hope you will enjoy listening to the 30th anniversary re-recording of Tubular Bells as much as I have enjoyed making it. Best wishes....        

Mike Oldfield

or did he make yet another re-write of tubular bells?
