4 unusual facts about Tubular Bells III


The Complete Tubular Bells

This box set includes Tubular Bells 2003 (a re-recording of the original Tubular Bells), Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III.

Tubular Bells II 20th Anniversary Tour

Following this tour Oldfield did not perform until the premiere of his next Tubular Bells album, Tubular Bells III.

Tubular Bells III

"Man in the Rain" features sampled drums from "Moonlight Shadow", "Outcast" features sampled drums from "Shadow on the Wall" and "Far Above the Clouds" features sampled drums from the end of "Ommadawn part 1".

The very distinct similarity of "Man in the Rain" to the hit "Moonlight Shadow" was sometimes interpreted as Oldfield trying to retread old ground.
