 The excerpt was made by staff at Atlantic Records, the American distributors of Oldfield's label, Virgin Records, and was made from bits and pieces of the first 8 minutes of the album, often resulting in abrupt transitions that did not occur in the original version.The abruptness of the edits is a combination of the choice of excerpts, and physical tape splice editing.This version also suffers from a loud hum, which is clearly audible in the quiet opening section, and is not heard on the album.
