Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells (CD, Virgin V2-86007 / 0777 7 86007 2 5, U.S. Jax Reissue)

Why This CD Matters
Tubular Bells was Mike Oldfield’s debut album and the inaugural album release on Virgin Records in 1973. Built around two extended instrumental compositions, the album combines progressive rock, folk, and modern classical elements through extensive overdubbing and multi-instrumental performances by Oldfield. An excerpt from “Part One” became closely associated with the 1973 film The Exorcist, bringing the album to a much wider audience.
