Nothing.

Well of course there is:

http://www.tubularbells2009.com/

Soon we can all buy Tubular Bells again. It's good to have several
copies as backup. ;-)

Too bad I'm not a huge J-M Jarre fan. He's performing this weekend in my
country. Could be interesting(*), but I'll pass.

Odd...
The site says only that they are accepting people's *interest* in the
ultimate edition.

And I registered and it said nothing about bing *sold out*.

I think this will be a *lottery* as it were.

be the first to purchase one of only 500 limited edition - SIGNED - copies.

Until Monday 18th, this is the only place you will find a link to buy
this product. On Monday, we'll be putting a link on the website and
making this offer available to all Tubular Bells fans worldwide. So
don't miss out and buy yourself a copy now...

I registered but hadn't received any email. However, I followed the link
provided on the Amarok mailing list and managed to purchase a signed copy
yesterday AM before they apparently sold out... looks like a matter of the
right place at the right time! But the lottery description would also
suffice!

See... The site makes it VERY difficult to actually FIND that link !

Either way... The ulitmate edition still looks nice.

Frankly... I'm not overly concerned about it being signed.
I've got some signed stuff, that does!

(Unless I get a *personal*... I'm not gonna lose sleep about missing
something like this.)

;' )

But WTF?? Only SMALL T-Shirts in the bundles!?

Won't be getting one of THOSE then !

Hard to believe, but I just sent off another �74.00 + to the Mike Oldfield
fan abuse & catholic river wideners club for yet another version of
something that is not for cloth eared nincompoops.
why do I keep doing it?
come on Joe, you're a man with a bit of time on your hands. Remind us why we
are here and why we keep on abusing our bank balance & our social standing
by supporting an ageing hippy who treats his fan base with undisguised
contempt. Good God, the man can't even be bothered to get in a half decent
supply of fat bastard size T shirts!
