  LPs Spain Vinyl LP 1973 Tubular Bells 87541-I Spain. Jan. 26, 2024, 6:41 p.m. Félix Mercader Thank-you Ignacio, very interesting comment :)  
  LPs Spain Vinyl LP 1973 Tubular Bells 87541-I Spain. Jan. 26, 2024, 4:09 p.m. Ignacio Prini (Neil) Many releases of Tubular Bells made in Spain by Ariola-Eurodisc between final 1974 and continuing to 1975, suffered a cut at the end part of Side A with an almost abrupt fade out, before Mike's guitar solo ending. Only happened in those issues with matrix number 87541-I A-4-N2. The cause, A-side run-out area was almost to disappear and had to do that tricky edition, so that any record player could stop automatically or returning capsule arm to its stop position, once detected run-out groove.

  Daniel Collaborations andrew taylor The inside of a mirror July 7, 2023, 3:41 p.m. Fèlix Mercader Hello Gianluca. This is most likely a mistake in my website. Anyway, this is in Daniel collection that I am selling. So this item was given to me by Daniel to put it for sale. Probably he sent me this item by mistake among the real Oldfield collection? Anyway, I did a search in internet with the name of this item and mike oldfield at the same time to see if I can find something and I found the following where a reference to Mike Oldfield appears on the right column: https://andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com/album/the-inside-of-a-mirror

  CDs Boxes 3CD 1976 Boxed CDBOX1 Germany. June 11, 2023, 8:49 a.m. Fèlix Mercader Hello Gianluca. I went to check the Facebook group and the entry about Boxed CD. And I can’t tell you a good answer cos I don’t know. I collect covers and visual things more than having a big interest in different mixes, versions, etc. What I would recommend you is to check a couple of places. The MOWD at https://www.mike-oldfield.es/mowd/ and also Rainer lists in my website where sometimes there are comments about different mixes when Rainer knew. In this case in particular, the best you can do is to go to the Facebook page to the boxed cd entry and ask Lee Thomas if he can add a photo of his item where that UDEN serial number appears. He says he has it so to add a photo will be easy for him. I have the feeling he is referring to a serial number directly printed in the CDs of the 3cd box, in the “matrix” area. If you check my own copy here with the magnifying glass or the photos of cds in the MOWD, then maybe you understand what I mean (check the CD photos, the center of them, there are some info, probably the serial number that Lee refers to). But I would ask him to be sure cos I don’t really know.

  LPs Germany Vinyl LP 1973 Tubular Bells 87541XOT (different label with previous one) Germany. May 1, 2023, 2:43 p.m. Rainer Münz Hi Felix, I agree. These tiny differences makes records like this collectable. The one without LC number is for sure the older one. The first edition on green/red label in my opinion. Not really rare but nobody really searches for such items. Someday one come accross them and keeps them, happy that a normal item is an addition to the collection. At least this happened to me.  
  LPs Germany Vinyl LP 1973 Tubular Bells 87541XOT (different label with previous one) Germany. May 1, 2023, 10:16 a.m. Fèlix Mercader Hi Rainer/All Yesterday I bought in a local small fair this Tubular Bells German lp. Please compare it with this other one also from Germany and same catalogue number: (http://argiers.pythonanywhere.com/detail/3385/). They look the same right? Please check backcover bottom right of both items for a very small change (lcnumber). And also the labels. On both labels there is a tiny difference too (ignore the name of the previous owner in one of them of course). What do you think? Not rare, but I love these small differences.
