Like the vast majority of Monster cables, this is just over priced. There is not difference between the quality of signal of this cable and a 5 dollar cable.

Tubular Bells picture disc.
The cover design was by Trevor Key, who would go on to create the covers of many Oldfield albums, and was inspired by Magritte’s “Castle in the Pyrenees”.[citation needed]
The concept for the triangular bell on the album cover art originally came from the idea of a bell which had been destroyed. Oldfield had come up with this when he had dented the set of Tubular bells used to record the album when playing them.
The “bent bell” image on the cover is also associated with Oldfield, even being used for the logo of his personal music company, Oldfield Music, Ltd. The image was also the main focus for the cover art of the successive Tubular Bells albums. Tubular Bells has also been issued as a vinyl picture 2001 VINTAGE FENDER TELECASTER DELUXE ASH USA TELE RARE disc, showing the bent bell on a skyscape.
The album cover for Tubular Bells was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of “Classic Album Cover” postage stamps issued on 7 January 2010. Significance Virgin
Oldfield approached (and was rejected by) many other established record labels. Some of the rejections were because they believed the piece to be unmarketable. Oldfield then played his demos to some of the Engineers at The Manor; they along with their boss, Richard Branson decided to give Oldfield a chance. Virgin Records released Oldfield’s debut album Tubular Bells as its first album; hence the catalogue number V2001 (although V2002 and V2003 were released on the same date).
The significance of this album to the Virgin empire is not lost on Richard Branson, who named one of his first Virgin America aircraft, an Airbus A319-112, N527VA Tubular Belle,. Prior to this Virgin Atlantic had named a Boeing 747-4Q8 , G-VHOT Tubular Belle, in 1994.
Virgin reissued the album a number of times including in 2000 for a HDCD release, and in 2001 for a SACD release. The HDCD release contained liner notes by David Laing, and the SACD release notes were by Phil Newell and Simon Heyworth.
The 50th Anniversary edition of the music magazine Music Week features the album in the official Top-Selling UK albums 19592009 at No. 35, noting it as the only entry that did not yield a hit single. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #9 in its list of “40 Cosmic Rock Albums”. The Mail on Sunday free edition
On 22 April 2007 a British newspaper, The Mail on Sunday, gave away 2.25 million free copies of the full original Tubular Bells to its readers; this came in a card packet displaying the original artwork.
EMI (owners of the Virgin Records label) earned between 200,000 and 500,000 from the promotion. The Mail on Sunday claimed that their promotion increased sales of the album by 30%; however industry sources noted that this was not a significant rise for the title at the time. This cover-mount deal came prior to the album’s transfer from Virgin/EMI back to Oldfield.
Oldfield attacked EMI in the press for agreeing this deal with The Mail on Sunday, not having been consulted about it. He also stated that he felt that it devalued the work. In a poll conducted by Music Week, to whom Oldfield wrote a letter about the situation, 89.9% of people supported Oldfield’s view that EMI and The Mail on Sunday should have at least asked him about the cover-mount promotion. Mercury reissue
In 2008 when Oldfield’s original 35 year deal with Virgin Records ended, the rights to the piece were returned to him, and were transferred to Mercury Records On 15 April 2009, Mercury announced the transfer of Oldfield’s Virgin albums to the label, and the first album, Tubular Bells, was re-released in June 2009. Tubular Bells was released on various formats, which include an original vinyl, a new remix, a 2CD edition and DVD. There were also bell ringing events on 6 June 2009 at 6pm (a reference to 666, the Number of the Beast). Overdubbing
Mike Oldfield played most of the instruments on the album (see below), recording them one at a time and layering the recordings to create the finished work. Many of his subsequent albums feature this technique.

Has anyone met Madonna, or seen her up close?
I don’t mean in concerts, i mean spoke to her (like hi)–or just stood next to her. I saw her at work once, i work in a gallery in London (Wallace collection) she was with Guy richie, at first i thought 2001 VINTAGE FENDER TELECASTER DELUXE ASH USA TELE RARE it was his daughter or something because she was no more than 5ft she was very skinny and had 2 plats and a massive puffa jacket, it was in 2001 and she was preggers, she looked right at me and asked how old the vintage chair was, there were no bodyguards, i thought i was in a dream because it was just her and me talking, and im a huge fan, and she was just like any other visitor except i knew she was Madonna, she was so petite and pretty in a cute way. i cherish that day always.

Some young, fresh, earnest Canadian dudes who write simply and cleanly about their experiences growing up.
Canadian cynicism. Reflect on exactly what those words mean or, for that matter, whether they belong together at all.
SCTV?
An extended version of the Weather Channel?
Punk skiing?
You cannot be sad listening to these guys. You cannot hold onto a loss of hope for our race. And, in their engaging way, we have to look at our own assumptions and values.
Likeable, cheerful, and listenable. Lovers in a dangerous time is a cut on this album, and it describes this bunch so well.
I’d buy the album if I had a million dollars, for sure.
What a great book. Almost as great as other RR books. It’s always cool to see rock stars of the past like Clapton, Stewart and Billy Joel make great strides on the Adult Contemporary chart. In this book you will see how well all the pop acts have done with soft rock radio in the last 40 years. From Perry Como to Jim Brickman, from Rita Coolidge to Enya. The book even has a great section of the AC hits from 1955-early 1961.
My only complaint is that with the growing success of adult-rock music, I kind of wish Record Research would have put a special bonus Adult Top 40 section (based on research from Billboard’s Adult T40 chart). It would have fit in well with this book. It may be another ten years for another revision of this book but enjoy this one while it is totally up-to-date to 2002.
An excellent book with tons of information and insight. It’s great to see the many different types of artists who have landed on the Adult Contemporary charts and also great to see my favorite AC group the Carpenters ranked as one of the most successful of alltime.
As always with Joel Whitburn’s Record Research books, the detail is spot on – exactly what it says on the tin. A fascinating insight into the changes that have occurred in what is considered “adult” music over 4 decades. Way back in the sixties, the phrases “easy listening” and “middle-road” were applied to what is now called the “adult contemporary” chart – that gives you a good indication as to the sort of music that generally qualified in those days.
I particularly like the fact that B-side details are also given, which seems to be the case with the latest issues of the RR singles books.
Whether or not this volume is of interest or use to you depends on what you want to use it for. If you merely want to scan it for interest and entertainment, then get the volume that addresses the Hot 100. If you need it for research purposes, or your interest goes beyond the pop charts, then this is a fabulous book.
Billboard Books & Joel Whitburn & his Record Research team have Indeed come up with a treasure trove of AC chart INFO. This body of work is a must have for those of us who Love”Soft Rock”.Or Better Still,as the Record Research motto on the back of the book says”for those who have a HEART for the Charts.Has Listings of the 200 most succesful AC Artists.This book also cross references w/ Pop Chart Information under ea.Artist.I Love This Book!I can’t Wait for updates to this,It’ll be Awhile!ENJOY!
The price at Amazon was about 1/4 elsewhere for the same memory stick. I was a little worried that the product was not what I thought it was, but it is great.
Haven’t had any issues with the card. data transfer is simple with the USB reader. Not a fan of the M2 since its not really a “standard” but I needed it for my phone and its working great.
I purchased this product for my husbands cell phone, the phone recognized the card and it has been working so far.
I got this for an old phone and it wouldn’t work for my new one. But, it gives ample space and memory for a beginner.
purchased it about a month or two ago got here in like 4 days i think works great though and it was priced very fair
Great product, super price and fast delivery. I wish we had more product like this for resonable price!
Despite the carefully worded description of the physics of light transmission, I found the TOS to TOS ILS200-1M made a significant difference in the sound quality compared with that of the OEM cable supplied by SONY. While the explanation of the physics is correct, the writer doesn’t allow for variances due to execution. For example, very minor impurities in the materials that make up the body of the signal distribution unit can cause enough back flash to degrade/contaminate the signal even at the speed of light before it arrives at its destination. The wavelength of light and the frequency of this noise are not related. Granted, in most consumer quality FO cables, this is a very minor component of the delivered signal; does that justify spending $40-60 more for a HQ cable? That’s a matter of personal preference and the capability of your biological sensors. In my case I think it was worth it as a luxury.
Nothing special…good high-quality cable, works great. Ends even come protected with little condom caps to prevent scratching the end fiber.
