When Viv Stanshall was at Oldfield’s place, recording his into voiceover for Tubular Bells, there was an evening when he got completely rat-*rsed. Oldfield followed him round the house with a tape recorder running all the while, and the results ended up as a track on one of the albums. Can’t remember which one.

Viv Stanshall was the ‘Master of Ceremonies’ at the end of side 1 of Tubular Bells, introducing the various instruments that Mike was playing.

Roger,
OH NO! Not the LEG! Wonderful stuff. Still got the ‘Best of the Bonzo’s’. Classic.

Tubular Bells, side two, the hornpipe finale — but only on the vinyl Mike Oldefield Boxed set, AFAIK
