It is stated that this recording was in fact performed by Scottish National Orchestra on May 5^th, 1976 at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, also conducted by David Bedford with Steve Hillage on guitar. The extract form the "Orchestral Tubular Bells" is recorded live and presents the original arrangement that was finally rejected by Mike himself for the studio album.
