Where can I find the version of Sailors Hornpipe with the humorous commentary?
It can be found on Boxed. It was made for the original Tubular Bells, but didn’t make it. From the Boxed booklet: “At the time, the result was considered a little too bizarre to place on an album by a complete unknown, so it was replaced by an instrumental version. Now [the release of Boxed] seems as opportune a moment as any to take the antimacassar off the original, which can be heard in all its magnificent foolishness at the end of side two.” The Boxed version of Tubular Bells can also be heard as a multi-channel mix on the SACD remaster (this mix is only playable on SACD players, normal CD players will only play the original mix of Tubular Bells). On the SACD cover, Viv Stanshall is credited for the first time with “the Sailors Hornpipe commentary” in the list of instruments on Part Two.
