HW: Damned by the curse of Green-pea Soup

[Chris Allen]

The live T.Bells is worth listening too, even if you have the original,
there's some nifty interpretations on there, plus other material from later
recordings which makes it worth it.
As far as I'm concerned, whilst I loved the Exorcist, I thought the way
Tubular Bells was used in the film was terrible.  It sounds like a bad
afterthought, roughly stuck in by a deaf and tasteless producer!
T.Bells is, after all, a piece written about the English countryside.
So I reckon the LP is infinitely better.  Mind you I grew up listening to it
