The 2009 (Ultimate) reissue

In 2008 when Oldfield's original 35 year deal with Virgin Records ended, the
rights to the piece were returned to him, and were transferred to Mercury
Records. Mercury issued a press release on 15 April 2009, where Oldfield's
Virgin albums were transferred to the label, and re-released, starting 8 June
2009. Tubular Bells was released in four physical variations, and two digital
variations in the UK and Ireland, and as five physical editions elsewhere.[18]
In April 2009 a new official website, TubularBells2009.com, was unveiled.

The new releases contain a new 2009 stereo mix of the album, which Oldfield
created at his home in the Bahamas in March 2009. The "Deluxe Edition" contains
a 5.1 mix, and the "Ultimate Edition" box set contains a 60 page hardback book,
a poster, plectrums and other pieces such as rough mixes and demo versions of
the album. There is also a vinyl version released as part of the Back to Black
series.

The liner notes include photos from the time and text written by Mark Powell
about Oldfield and the album. The DVD also states on its label that it features
the "Tubular Bells film" from The Old Grey Whistle Test as visual content,
however this appears not to be on the DVD and is also not listed on the outer
cover of the album.

NOTE

Art included with addition of some self-made CD/DVD labels for those -like me- who
don't like the original labels.

The "lyrics" to Stanshall's improvised tour of the Manor:

"The hallway.

From outside, an ordinary house. A great house, true - four hundred and
eighty three rooms, each one with its own marble wash basin and douche, bidet as
it may. But inside, and the positions are reversed. A human failing, some say a
disease, but a disease that Sir Francis Dashwood knew, and knew it well.

Upstairs, inside and a revelation. It's a discotheque. No, no, uh.. there
are paintings, real, and look here - a rare seventeenth century masterpiece, and
if I can scrape a little of it off, beneath I can find hidden a fourteenth
century underpiece.

Made entirely of tiny pieces of eggshells, this lurid work has caused
controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropologicky. No, I'll say it
again, anthropolology. Umm.. no quite possibly make an anthropol, no, uh, I mean
an apolog..ph.. It has enthralled distinguished professors, and in layman's
language is "blinking well baffling".

But to be more obtusely, "buggered if I know." Yes, "buggered if I know."
And that's all we've gleaned so far from experts in fourteenth century painting,
renaissance, greengrocers, and recently revived members of the public. Buggered
if I know.

Vivian Stanshall, about three o'clock in the morning, Oxfordshire, 1973,
Goodnight"
