This is the one to Buy! *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2011* Tubular Bells was my first foray into Progressive music, and it has stayed with me ever since. I originally owned it on vinyl. That collection is long gone. I've been listening to music via MP3 and computer of late, so when I dug out and updated my old hi-fi equipment; I re-learned how enjoyable music is: straight from the CD. So I went in pursuit of Tubular Bells. Don't give the 2003 version a look - its horrific (somehow John Cleese does not add anything positive). Search for an original 1973 and in the US at least you'll pay close to $100. So enter the 2009 Deluxe Edition. I listened with joy to the original 1973 mix and relived my earlier pleasure. Only it was better, courtesy of some better Hi-Fi components.Then I listened to the 2009 re-mastered version. It's good. Very good. But for me personally; a little clinical. In the original mix, we hear Mike's breathing during some of the acoustic guitar passages. That's gone from the 2009 version, and somehow I miss it. The bells also seem somehow different and ring 'not true'. I'll stick with the original, and here's the beauty of this disc. Whether you are returning to Tubular Bells, or listening for the first time: you'll find a version on this disc that meets your needs. I haven't tried the 5.1 version, but for those with a good system then I would bet that it's very worth a listen.I also enjoy TB II and TB III, but if you have to own just one disc: this is the one to buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good to have, However... *by D***0 on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2012* I'm not sure I particularly liked the 2009 remix. I'm almost positive it's mainly because my ears are *SO* used to the original mix. It's the one I've been playing nearly non-stop since I discovered it, so to suddenly hear additional/ new instrumentation in the mix with the original, it just didn't sit right to my mind & ears. The additions sounded out of place. You could tell right away where 1973 ended & 2009 began.I guess I was under the impression that the 2009 version would be a *remastering*. Not an actual remix. I must've overlooked that in reviews.However, I'm also assuming the inclusion of the original 1973 mix *is* touched up aurally & sounds great to my ears. I don't (yet) own any sound equipment that's optimal for 5.1 Surround sound, but I can only assume it sounds incredible.I was truly in this for the dvd though. I saw some of this live performance on Youtube & was floored. I knew I had to own it. Worth getting for the dvd alone, IMO. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too much bass in 5.1 mix *by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016* Nothing to say about TB as such, only the 5.1 mix where the Sub-woofer signal gets way too high in places. Looking at the file in Audacity for TB part 1 it is clear that the Sub part needs to be attenuated. I did this myself with 5dB Sub reduction and it is much better. Note that I do not have my Subs turned up really loud, this is really and issue with the mix. A look in Audacity at any other song with good bass shows this to be true. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/22591072-tubular-bells](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/22591072-tubular-bells) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
