Description

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON ONE OF THE RAREST MIKE OLDFIELD RECORDINGS. THIS IS A BBC TRANSCIPTION SERVICES DISC FROM THE BBC "IN CONCERT" SERIES.THE "IN CONCERT" NO IS 206 (SIDE ONE) AND 207 (SIDE TWO) THE CN NO IS 3393/S AND THE MATRIX NO IS 145475(207) AND 145473 (206). THIS IS ALIVE RECORDING MADE BY THE BBC AT WEMBLEY DURING MIKE OLDFIELDS EUROPEAN TOUR WITH DAVID BEDFORD CONDUCTING CHOIR, ORCHESTRA AND OTHER MUSICIANS AND FEATURES MADDY PRIOR. THE MUSIC FEATURES BOTH "INCANTATION" AND "TUBULAR BELLS"

WHEN THE BBC PUT THEIR RECORDING ON TO TRANSCRIPTION DISC THEY PRESSED UP TWO DISCS BOTH WERE THE SAME CONCERT BUT BECAUSE OF THE PLAYING TIME LIMITATION ON ONE SIDE AND SO THE DISCS COULD BE USED BY DJ'S ON OTHER BBC SERVICES THEY PRESSED "INCANTATION" ON THE THE PART ONE SIDE OF BOTH DISCS AND "TUBULAR BELLS" ON THE OTHER SIDE OF BOTH DISCS. THUS ALLOWING THE DJ TO START THE SECOND DISC AS THE FIRST WAS RUNNING OUT SEGWAYING THE TWO PARTS OF THE RECORDING TOGETHER.

UP FOR AUCTION IS ONERECORD OF THE TWO DISC SET WHICH COVERS THE FIRST PART OF THE PERFORMANCE OF EACH PIECE OF MUSIC. I HOPE ALL OF THAT MAKES SENSE AS IT IS INFORMATION PASSED ON TO ME BY A HUGE MIKE OLDFIELD COLLECTOR (FELIX FROM SPAIN) REGRETABLY I DO NOT HAVE THE SECOND DISC BUT AM AWARE THAT THE LAST SET SOLD FOR OVER £400.00. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.

DISC COMES IN A WHITE ALBUM TYPE INNER SLEEVE.

BY THE WAY IF THAT MERDE IN FRANCE ANTOINE ROLLAND (MARRINPOEY) TRIES TO BID ON THIS I SHALL PERSONALY TRAVEL TO ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX AND CUT OFF HIS COJONES.

LOW START AND NO RESERVE SO BID HIGH AND FREQUENTLY.

DUE TO THERE BEING BIDS ON THIS ITEM I CANNOT REMOVE THE COMMENTS ABOUT ANTOINE WHICH APPEAR TO BE CAUSED BY SOMEONE HE KNOWS BIDDING IN HIS NAME FOR ANOTHER MIKE OLDFEILD ITEM EARLIER THIS YEAR. THAT PERSON NEVER PAID OR ANSWERED EMAILS HENCE MY COMMENTS. IF ANTOINE IS GENUINE THEN MY APOLOGIES TO HIM IF NOT THE POSE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON.
