As a result of recent topics about Mike's Telecaster for sale,and the confusion over electric guitars Mike played recording Tubular Bells,since visiting Tubular.net I've found out the Telecaster was the only electric Mike used. I had a look at my LP copy of Tubular Bells out of curiosity, I was directed to this page www.tubular.net/disography/TubularBells.shtml .
Upon Richard's discography it has the legend "This stereo record cannot be played on oldtin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in posession of such equipment please hand it into the nearest police station". My LP copy of Tubular Bells doesn't have this written upon the sleeve, but instead has "In Glorious Stereophonic Sound
Can also be played on mono equipment at a pinch",written just below the Virgin logo. Are there pressings with variations of the text???  . I would say my LP dates from the mid 70's, has a green centre label with the "Two Virgins" logo.
BTW I thought playing a stereo record on mono equipment could damage the record,not that I've needed to do this, but I can play my mono first two Rolling Stones LP's,plus "England's Newest Hitmakers" US edition of"TheRolling Stones no.2" and EP's and early Stones 45's on stereo equipment,not that I have a record deck ATM. I'm just curious as to why this is.

, Just looked on my two LPs of Tubular Bells, both have "This record cannot be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in possession of such equipment please hand it in at the nearest police station."
