which I bought new when it came out in, IIRC, 1973.I never, ever liked it; and so I never played it much. I grant you that it's well-recorded; but it's still "audiophile rock" to me.
Just like JATP is "audiophile jazz."
Then there's "Roxy Music" which I would call "extreme audiophile rock." Foolishly, I bought the SACD because everybody raved about it. I had never heard it before, and I've only heard it once since then. That was enough.
I should give it away to somebody who has "Tubular Bells" in 3 different recorded media.
