TUBULAR BELLS

I remember buying this and loving it in 1973 (I was 10) - I think that maybe I was caught up in all the hype. Anyway, being older and I hope somewhat wiser, I've listened to this again. Oh Dear. Aside from the production and arrangement (both are bloody awful), there's very little here to commend it on the musical front.

Still, this album does have a certain historical significance (Virgin's first album release, Exorcist soundtrack) and that would be the ony reason to buy it.
