Tubular Bells is a record album, written and mostly performed by
Mike Oldfield, released in 1973. The late Vivian Stanshall provided
the voice of the "Master of Ceremonies" who reads off the list of
instruments at the end of the first movement. The piece was later
orchestrated by David Bedford for The Orchestral Tubular Bells
version and it had two sequels in the 1990s, Tubular Bells II and
Tubular Bells III. Significance
Born without social instincts many people take for granted, brought
up in a troubled environment and possessed with an extraordinary
musical talent, Mike Oldfield was thrust into the spotlight at the
tender age of nineteen. His first album Tubular Bells went on to
sell fifteen million copies worldwide and catapulted him into a
stardom he was ill-equipped to cope with. From growing up with an
alcoholic mother, to his feelings of alienation and struggles with
depression, this book takes Mike from his early years, through his
staggering fame, his broken marriages, years as a recluse, his
rebirth experience at a controversial Exegesis seminar and beyond.
Mike Oldfield has been on a journey few of us could ever imagine,
and offers a message of hope to anybody who feels they live on the
edge of society.
