Mishen Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Oct. 06 2009, 09:26 I have an old LP of the London Symphony Orchestra that says it's produced by Mike Oldfield, I'm wondering if anyone has heard of it or has a copy, do you know anything about this one? I've never seen it referenced on an Oldfield site... I thought it could be another MO, but the co-incidence with William Tell is a strong giveaway... Back to top

Mishen Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Oct. 06 2009, 18:17 Curious, isn't it? The copy I have was distributed in New Zealand by Music World Ltd, copyrighted in 1982, but there's no information about the original release. The release number is MWTL-8004 and it lists as being available on Musicassette MWCTL-8004. The prominent use of Oldfield's name suggests they're trying to cash in on the reputation of Mike Oldfield - but it's entirely possible it's someone else with the same name. Seems an odd co-incidence though for another Mike Oldfield to be a recording engineer for the London Symphony Orchestra playing a piece that Mike released himself... Back to top
