No, I don't think that's getting into a debate -- for one thing, it
doesn't contradict (or even dispute) anything that I had said.  It's
giving an interesting pointer to some Oldfield/Ayers/Bedford music,
and I appreciate it.  Now do you have any idea where I could actually
*find* that?  :-)

Oh, and 1974 is, of course, some time after Tubular Bells.

And oh, yes, sorry, "Shadow on the Wall" is on Crisis, not on
Discovery (as my message said).  That fact had no bearing on the point
of what I was saying, however.  If it had, I don't imagine that I
would have made that mistake.  But one never knows...
