Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Sep. 22 2009, 12:14 The 50th Anniversary edition of Music Week features Tubular Bells in the official Top-Selling UK albums 1959-2009 at No. 35, noting it as the only entry that did not yield a hit single. Sales in the UK are listed as 2,630,000. There are also other mentions of the early days of Virgin and Tubular Bells throughout the magazine. Thanks, Chris Simmons Back to top

I am going to do a survey of my flat and find every picture of that bloody bell symbol and count them up.Between the vinyl (including the picture disk)and all the cds,the Oldfield Music symbols and all the stuff in print it should be quite some figure!There again i'll probably not bother and just sit down and listen to it again. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.
