One of our local radio stations does "American Top 40 - The 70s" replays 
every Sunday - Basically, they pick an old AT40 show that played on or 
near <insert this sunday's date but in the 1970s here>, and play it as 
if it were "today". Just last weekend, Tubular Bells was on the chart 
for the show they played, and Casey did a bit of his "let's look a 
little closer..." patter about it. According to him, there were more 
than 270 overdubs involved in the making of Tubular Bells, making it (at 
that time - dunno if it still stands) the all-time record for overdubs 
on a single song.

Made me look at it in a whole new light - I've always liked it, but 
never really thought much about what went into making it.
