Following the Top 20 UK chart success of Tubular Bells in 2023, its UK No 1 follow-up Half speed mastered at Abbey Road, with new artwork approved by Mike, who, from his retirement, wrote a brand new, brief sleeve note. It is the first time ever on vinyl of both mixes together – the 1974 original half-speed mastered by Miles Showell; and FOR THE FIRST TIME ON VINYL, Mike Oldfield’s 2010 mix of the album.[info sheet from distr.]
