The Times newspaper reported that Mike Oldfield took back his rights to his brilliant trademark work, Tubular Bells:
“This will be a landmark year for the musician and composer, now 54. In personal terms, it has brought an addition to his family in their new hillside home high above the Balearic island’s capital. And career-wise it will bring not only the release of his frist fully classical album, Music of the Spheres, but the return to his control of his first and most famous recording, 1973’s Tubular Bells. “I can still remember being in the kitchen of the Manor at Shipton-on-Cherwell (then owned by the fledgling entrepreneur Richard Branson), about to sign this two page contract,” he says. “Some pointed out that it was for 35 years, but I couldn’t get my head around the fact. I was just 19 and couldn’t conceive of 2008 ever arriving. Now, of course, it’s here.”
