I've also heard the opening theme of Tubular Bells. I'm sure when his singles were released they got a mention. I think Sentinel was played a lot round the time of its release. After all, it did get to Number 10 in the Charts, and the Album to Number 1. -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability."

Some compilation? One of my earliest radio memories is hearing the Pirate station Radio Caroline playing the whole of Tubular Bells. It was just a way for them to be lazy, stick on a whole album side then bugger off to get some booze. I'm not sure if it's a genuine memory or folk lore, but I also recall an album getting stuck and no-one at the station noticed for ages -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?
