Release

It was released on 8 June 2009 in the UK as a 2CD package, with the new mix of the Tubular Bells album, along with related bonus tracks, taking up the whole of disc one. The album contains recordings that were originally released by Virgin Records.

It was advertised on television, where the actor Tom Baker, known for his role as the Doctor in Doctor Who, provided a voice-over. The advert featured short excerpts from "Moonlight Shadow" and "Family Man" as well as Tubular Bells. Some versions of the advert also carried a tag-line on the end, as a promotion for Father's Day gifts at the Asda chain of supermarkets. Tom Baker had previously provided a voice-over for The Best of Tubular Bells advert in 2000.[1]

The album was BBC Radio 2's record of the week for the week commencing 15 June 2009.[2] With being a record of the week, Radio 2 played "Family Man" on Monday, "Moonlight Shadow" on Tuesday, "Foreign Affair" on Wednesday, Tubular Bells on Thursday, and "Five Miles Out" on Friday.

Charts

The Collection charted at number 11 in the UK Albums Chart during its second week, after entering the chart at number 25.[citation needed]
