steve hurst Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: Dec. 2000 Posted: Dec. 17 2000, 04:42 My brother-in-law is Oldfield mad.. I would like to get him something special for his birthday. He has mentioned in the past, the 7" Oldfield single "Froggy went a courting". Is this a rare single or not?, does anyone know of a decent site that would sell such mysterious records? Cheers Back to top

You could try requesting it, but I also recommend that you try gemm.com They list items from heaps of different retailers so there's a good chance it might be available there. Back to top

The 'label' calls itself Tartan Productions. No idea where you can get that one, though. I got it from a record fair (if that word exists...) Back to top

I have an mp3 of it which is excellent quality (e-mail me if you want it), but I guess you asked about it because your in-law wants a geniune 7" copy as part of his collection (am I right?).

Scot Group: Members Posts: 17 Joined: May 2001 Posted: June 10 2002, 02:54 Hi! There's a very rare version of Froggy Went A-Courting, where "The owls did hoot and the birds they sang" is sung by Mike Oldfield. (by the other version it's sung by Bridget St. John). I would like to find this rare version too. Can someone help me (mp3 or an internet address)? I'm making now a Non-Official Complete Mike Oldfield, with all of Mike Oldfield's songs. Thanks!
