Have any of the audio editors here ever been able to successfully replicate the 45 version of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" from the LP version? I've managed to come pretty close. However, the electric guitar from 2:04 to 2:16 on the 45 sounds dry (no reverb) and does not bleed into the double bass passage that follows the guitar solo. By contrast, the electric guitar passage on the 25+ minute LP version seem to contain added reverb and does bleed into the double bass passage.
Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to edit the LP version to match the 45? |

| There was one posted on Skyline a while ago that I have. With no real knowledge of the original 45, I can't say how close it is to that, however. |

| Skyline Mastering is the company that mastered most of the Eric Records releases. Tom Daly owns it and does their mastering. He posts on BSN all the time. He usually has a "recording of the month" on his website with a song or version that's never appeared on CD, but I don't know that it's downloadable anymore. |

It is. In fact, he's now grants access to his "library" for a small fee. I haven't checked it out, but he also puts up the "obscure record of the week" on the public site. This week, it's "Desiderata" by Les Crane.

Todd, perhaps there's more than one LP version. I just heard a custom edit that Jim has (thank, Jim), and compared it to the 45 version. The custom edit sounds perfect, and I don't detect any reverb on the guitar passage...only the delay that is also present on the 45 version. |
