Anyone else notice some mistakes e.g. only one of the folk covers is credited Trad. arr M Oldfield, and in others Mike is credited as a co-writer!

Also, 'The Space Movie' clips are Pt3 and 4 of 'Incantations' NOT as they list!

Were there videos for Cuckoo Song, Arrival, Sheba as it was a double 'A' side with 'Wonderful Land' and Mistake?

Were there any alternative videos, or tv clips subsituted for the original promos?

Yeah does anyone here know what's 'missing' - apart from the alternative Innocent and the other To France.

Having asked that, I'm very happy with what we have been given on Elements which is a very good exercise in 'tidying-up'.

On the mistakes front, Wonderful Land is credited to 'Jerry Lardon' - someone must have been contemplating bacon bits for his/her salad at the time (it should, of course, be Jerry Lordan).

It's noty unusual in the record business to give such credits to cover tracks, if the musician making the cover changes the original enough to warrant such a change. A good example is Jethro Tull's Bourée which is credited to Johann Sebastian Bach and Ian Anderson. (I'm not familiar with the originals in this case so I can't say if this what they've done, but it is possible).

There's a mistake in the credits for "William Tell Overture" - Mike is credited as writer along with Gioacchino Rossini. AFAIK he didn't write a single note! :D
