I bought the German 7" single of Gimme Back yesterday.
It's one of the few singles I didn't have (still looking for the 12" too).
I have all the German 7" releases,
except for Mike Oldfields single and Don Alfonso
(very rare and expensive) and William Tell (rare and rather expensive too).
In Dulci Jubilo doesn't exist in a German release I think.
I have the Benelux edition, even Germans sell this one on ebay.
And I think Portsmouth was never a single in Germany or Benelux.
But it could be a very rare sleeveless release ... never saw it.
From Cuckoo Song on I have them all.
Even the 1979 live single (taken from Exposed),
the 1981 Wondeful Land, the 1982 7" and 12" ep
(Family Man / Mistake), Magic Touch and Innocent.
Only Gimme Back was missing until yesterday.
My vinyl collection is purely based on Mikes Virgin years.
I focussed on the German releases of his singles and albums.
I have all the existing 12" singles too, except Gimme Back.
Rare German 12" singles are the 1979 live single, Magic Touch, Innocent and Holy.
My copy of The Time Has Come is a French release (will replace it one day).
I have all the regular albums.
Hergest Ridge is still a UK release (will replace it someday).
Tubular Bells is a Benelux release (will replace it too).
I don't have The Orchestral Tubular Bells and Boxed anymore.
The Orchestral wasn't officialy released as a MO album,
but as a Royal Philharmonic Orchestra release.
I had Boxed, but it was the UK release.
I also sold my Airborne (US 2LP) copy (but I ripped it to mp3 first).
Same with the Virgin V sampler (Don Alfonso) and the Take 4 ep.
