Tubular Bells is the debut album by English musician Mike Oldfield, released on Virgin Records on 25 May 1973. It comprises two mostly instrumental compositions of over twenty minutes each. Oldfield recorded it when he was 19 and played the majority of the instruments. Tubular Bells consists of "Tubular Bells Part One" and "Tubular Bells Part Two". Although sales were initially slow, Tubular Bells gained global attention when it was used on the soundtrack to the horror film The Exorcist (1973). In 1974, it reached number one in the UK, Australia and Canada, and number three on the US Billboard 200. It was the third-bestselling album of the 1970s in the UK. It is estimated to have sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, including more than 2.6 million in the UK. Tubular Bells was the first release on the Virgin Records label, and its success played an important part in the growth of the Virgin Group.
Oldfield and many of the musicians performed Part One in the year for the BBC arts programme 2nd House, but this time as a pre-recorded performance in a studio setting without an audience. The performance was recorded on 30 November 1973 and transmitted on 5 January 1974 on BBC2. The arrangement included a new part for oboe, played by Soft Machine's Karl Jenkins, and the musicians were accompanied by images of tubular steel sculptures and sequences from the film Reflections, both created by artist William Pye.

I don't think you people get it. He was 19 YEARS OLD when he recorded this piece. Incredible.
@@JohnSmmiitthwell yeah, we aint dogs or somethin lmao (if we is dogs shrimps may as well be bugs)
@@JohnSmmiitth nah my shrimps is bugs hypothesis is way cooler
Genius❤❤❤
Believe me I get it!
Well see, he created the demo for this track in 1970, which would make him 17 when he initially recorded it. But he was 19 when he completed it.. this young man devoted 2 years of his life to this work of art and it absolutely shows ❤️❤️
What a great recording. Thank you for making it available to us. Mike was a genius musician. When Tubular Bells came out, it blew most people away, at least those into progressive rock.
I'm a 90's Child and i grow up with Hardstyle. But THIS is one of the greatest Peaces of Music that was ever written.
👌 Is certainly among the greatest agree!
FAVES!💯🐞
1973?! For 25 years I always assumed it is just a classic from mid 80s. But it is a decade older. Wow. Anyhow, Mike Oldfield and Jean Michael Jarre, are still amazing to listen to.
one night,Late '73 when this first came out ,fell asleep with radio on . Heard it by chance while in the middle of heavy REM dream stage.Awoke , just as it ended, and a commercial spot began -with NO credit to the song's title ID !! Wiping sleep from my eyes , made a mad call to the radio station to get the artist .Too late, there had been a shift change. Had to wait to call later that morning to get the FCC log entry to find out.
Great you got it! Back in those days may have taken yrs to hunt a song down.

He has adopted a range of musical styles throughout his career, including progressive rock, world, folk, classical, electronic, ambient, and new age music. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Oldfield
"Tubular Bells Side A" (the only-one "Tubular Bells" song) is a universal masterpiece. Thanks Mike Oldfield!
Hello Igor Maxwel.... Yesss, I agree with you, great tracks and brilliant!!! Thank you very much for stopping by. Best regards. HENDRA
@@HendraSumatera For nothing, friend!
I remember you couldn't walk down the street without some house playing this. Brings back my teenage years. EPIC
This music is coming to my theatre in Canberra ACT . I am a seventies x hippy and I am totally excited to relive one of my favourite incredible musical memories, mates have passed on I have no one to go to the concert with. I shall try to stay still lest I be told off by security. I pity kids who cannot move to something as incredible as this.
Hi, just by chance, do you know of an eccentric English chap named Captain Tom Harwood? He’s a friend of mine and lived and worked in Canberra a while ago where he brought his wonderful musical endeavours?
Genius the way this was put together, one of the greatest instrumentals of all time. Absolutely remarkable.
My son and i went to see Two men playing Tubular Bells in concert. It was great
My parents went to tubular bells for two.... I wish I went aswell
@@nathanevans1311 They don't call it Twobular Bells? What a missed opportunity.
First heard this in 1974.....it's been my all time favourite album since ❤
One of the worlds masterpiece
I LOVED this piece and this band growing up my all time favourite ❤❤
ME TOO!!!💜💙💛❤💚
One of the greatest lineup of all times.

Who's the One that Says "Grand Piano" and the Other instruments?
One of the choir was Mike Oldfield's sister
@@Dawson2008 Viv Stanshall.
@@blozier2006 thanks
The end part is my favourite, as it builds up to the finale instrument, tubular bells. Brilliant finish!
Aside from all the other amazing things going on in this piece, I can't help but think that this is how Bass should be played.
The bass sounds freaking amazing!
Pure genius. I love to meet him.
A masterpiece!
Wow !
This magnum opus is brilliant. I aways look forward to introduction of the instruments in the final movement. Kind of a precursor to voice sampler programs on the digital keyboards that were to come in the later half of the 70s.
I've seen this before but never noticed Steve Hillage had such a prominent role. Virgin stablemates at the time so I guess it's natural he and Mike Oldfield would play together.
Ultimate great music!!!
Yesss!!! Thanks Classic Rock!!!
incredible and mind blowing
Those first few minutes with piano are pure heaven
I agree. Well, that or they’re waiting for an exorcist 😂
An incredible gathering of talent. A real piece of musical history. Thank you
This was the first record put out by Virgin Records
Was 14 when this came out
Sublime
Oldfield was a prodigy. Such a shame he's so obscure these days. If not for the Exorcist I'd be 90% of the people wouldn't be here.
Time fades memories. - What about Ommadawn his 3rd album?
@@billjones8503 Absolutely, but I hold that this is still his best work; "mainstream" or otherwise
theres a song from the anime Death Note thats definitely based off this ua-cam.com/video/GBC4azvwEVM/v-deo.html
Esa guitarra...y luego todo lo demás, yo creíba - sí, así era..y se me enseño... qué ese tipo de gente no podía tocar eso.....y Luego!! Apolo once!!! Con ALEGRÍA del guen- padre- Sebastián Bach...
Masterpiece.
I prefer this performance to the album version.
Brilliant my dear Friend
Have a wonderful time
Lara
Thank you dear Lara. Have wonderful time to you too!

P..... de chef d 'oeuvre
España, abril de 2024. La publicidad de Airbnb interrumpe esta obra maestra. He de acordarme de no utilizar nunca los servicios de Airbnb.
Jajajaja, estoy de acuerdo
25 minutes away from the world when its needed
I had his "Boxed" set: this record, Ommadawn, and Hergest Ridge.
It is worth reading his autobiography
I didn't know he wrote one. Love to read it!
06:12 I love This part
Me too!!!! So dramatical powerfull and dirty and then so hippie ❤❤❤❤❤
Magnifique ❤
❤
I like this hat
😊😊😊
Always thought it was just a remix of the Halloween theme...
half way through this it kinda reminds me of Pink Floyd .. ever listen to On An Island ?
Where's Regan?
Tempo was too fast at the beginning… Mike was like STFD
Two slightly! Distorted guitars!
... And, introducing acoustic guitar!!
... de de dede... A great live Part.
that video with like 3 milion views really got deleted? sad
Ammetto di avere un debole. Ma Hillage cos'è in questo ensamble? Che favolosi i Gong....
Spiegati meglio perché non ho capito cosa vuoi dire scusa 😂
Tartaria
Composition
Like a bunch of statisticians that got fed up quantifying and decided to jam instead.
Dónde ve u oye algo así de niño....o ,,hay alguien a quién culpar y agradecer
Shame that a wonderful creation made Richard Branson rich and famous
In his early days Branson was a champion of funding music that nobody else would touch. He used the profits from Tubular Bells to produce records from unpopular artists that wouldn't have seen the light of day otherwise. The Front Line subsidiary released reggae long before it was popular. Branson almost went broke because of his support for these artists.
Bass player drags so bad he drops it like 20 bpm absolutely hilarious
The bass player is the guy who wrote and performed the whole thing on the original album - so maybe he was just correcting them rather than dragging ?
Wish they’d done part 2 but it’s understandable why - piltdown man really is an audio only deal
He created this....😂
Real musicians not like the no-talent trash today,
