Tubular Bells (49:18) covers two sides of an album and came out the year before Lammy, 1973. There was subsequently an orchestral version and one or two other variations, including digital versions in 2003 and 2009. Nothing tops the original. It featured in the Olympic ceremony in 2012. It features all sorts of instruments, especially guitars and the famous tubular bells. Oldfield plays most but not all of the instruments. It is in a number of parts that were not identified at the time when the piece suddenly came out of nowhere.
