The replica of the manor brochure looks like the same one of which you can see a photo in the "Making of Tubular Bells" book. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

In the Tubular Bells book by R. Newman, it's not a photo of the brochure, it is really the brochure!!   Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: April 28 2009, 15:45 I'm actually not so sure about that - I know I did say it looked like the lists might be the same one, but after examining one of the confirmation emails (I didn't get one myself when I tried), I wouldn't like to promise anyone that it's the case. That said, the fact that it sends out links to a Music of the Spheres screensaver and wallpapers does still make me think there could be some sharing going on (that's the same email the old list sent out on confirming via the link in the confirmation email). It's definitely using the same mailing list software. Certainly I'm registered on the old list and didn't get a confirmation email when I put my email address in again on the 'buy' page. That's about as much as I can tell you - I have no official information about it at all, so all this is just my best guess. Back to top

tubular_trekkie Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: April 28 2009, 16:17 Well it sounds like it's just signing you up to a generic all-purpose mailing list, rather than specifically putting you on a reservation list for the TB UE. If you're already registered for the updates (at whatever stage you did so), I'm guessing you'll receive an email telling you when the sets are available to order. Perhaps that's when the scramble to secure one will actually start. -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: April 29 2009, 16:38 Well, I followed the "Buy" link and I did receive a "thanks for registering" confirmation e-mail with a link. I clicked it and this is what I got. Did anyone else of you get a similar page? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

But I also needed to register with a different E-mail address than the one I'd first used to "register an interest".

But I actually got the message to download the MotS screensaver & wallpaper - it arrived just a minute ago. Now all I can do is wait... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

HuanCry Group: Members Posts: 303 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 01 2009, 15:56 Well done Pat ...I should eat more carrots !!!! If it states that then I'm thinking it's a cock-up because that describes the 2 CD Compilation Edition rather than the Deluxe Edition !!!!!!!!! .. That would explain the crap pic !   Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 04 2009, 12:41 That's sure one ugly cover. I still think the original bell by Trevor Key is one of the best designs, because it was real and not a computer model ("was", because we still haven't found the nincompoop who stole it! ). But the TB 2003 bell model is also very good, and the use of gold and royal blue for TB 2 is IMHO brilliant! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
