A rare (I'm told) recording of Tubular Bells with Billiy Connolly doing the vocal bit, introducing the instruments bit like.  cloud9:

If you forced me at gunpoint to name my favourite record it would be '('Don't fear) the reaper' by the Blue Oyster Cult. From the the album 'Agents of Fortune'

This also includes 'Tattoo vampire' and 'ETI'

Wall to wall guitars.

Fantastic.  cloud9:

I also recommend' Cultosarus Ereuctus' by the same band.

"Don't fear the reaper" would definitely feature in my top ten and I'm pretty sure that it'll be played today now that you've reminded me. A pub/club in Southampton do lots of live music, I found out one week after the event that Blue Oyster Cult played there in June this year. I would have gone just to hear that track alone. The track also feaures at the start of the film "The Stand" (Stephen King) and whenever I hear it I associate it with the rook/crow sat on the fence post at the start of the film

Wouldn't be the Bassett Hotel , site of the original "Concord Club" (before it moved out to Stoneham) would it? I first saw Manfred Mann there waaaaaaaaay back when.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

No, it's The Brook, at Portswood http://www.the-brook.com/

The Concord Club still thrives, mainly jazz music I believe

Oh yes too

I still have a copy of Stratosphere and one other LP I can't remember the name of in a wooden chest full of old LP's. It was around that time that I discovered the music of Klaatu, still listen to them on CD

Then bury it again ~ quickly! Biggest load of tosh ever released! evil:

Think of this ~ Without Tubular Bells we might have been spared Sir Richard Branson ~ I rest my case.
