They also have a single disc edition of Ommadawn, which includes In Dulci Jubilo, First Excursion, Argiers and Portsmouth, plus there's a single disc edition of Hergest Ridge which currently has no track listing. The release date given for all three is May 24th 2010. Update March 28th: What Records is now taking orders for 180 gram vinyl editions of Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn.

And yes, would also sound to me like it was the fabled tape-wore-out original Ommadawn recording. But maybe thats just wishfull thinking -------------- TB Ultimate #363 Platinum #101 QE2 #749 Back to top

The one thing I'm most curious about is the HR demo versions. I didn't think they did demos because the finished version sounds a bit demo-ish. And now we'll all know exactly what Spanish Tune is. Certain people here claim to have heard it and said it's just an excerpt from the album, so this will be very intersting   Lars T -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Certain people here claim to have heard it and said it's just an excerpt from the album, so this will be very intersting. Apparently Mike did a demo of Hergest Ridge and sent it anonymously to Virgin - but they guessed who it was immediately. This will be very interesting indeed as it will be stuff he home taped soon after arriving at The Beacon. Spanish Tune, as far as I'm concerned, IS an extract from the album released in promotional single form (VS112). The "lost" Ommadawn will be what remained of the early version before Mike had to rerecord it. There have been partial outings for this version on the films Reflection and All You Need Is Love and they did sound quite different to the final released product. Again a must have in my opinion.

In that case, it would truely be an "ultimate" edition. Back to top

Drealm Group: Members Posts: 170 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Mar. 27 2010, 23:55 As I can understand after reading the FAQ about Spanish Tune, this song was not sure to exist...and now the veil is lifted and we will have it for the first time ever? Is that right? Back to top

That would strongly suggest that what we were promised about the original mix being on the CD was true... With any luck, we might be able to get full confirmation from Universal in the next week or so (though no promises...). We were told something off the record about the artwork, but haven't heard anything about the audio content lately. Thanks to everyone who's been spotting these things! Back to top

HuanCry Group: Members Posts: 303 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Mar. 28 2010, 09:35 No wonder I didn't find the single cd version of HR when its not currently listed as a 'Mike Oldfield' product ! I wonder what the extra tracks are ...if any ?     Back to top

Atane Group: Members Posts: 66 Joined: June 2007 Posted: Mar. 28 2010, 12:01 Amazon site indicates that the Ommadawn deluxe edition will have 3 CD's... This would explain why its price is the same than the price of the Deluxe H.R: Product details Audio CD (24 May 2010) Number of Discs: 3 Format: Box set No info about this third CD... Back to top
