According to Universal Music Canada press release:

Quote
For 2012 we present Two Sides: The Very Best Of, a brand-new 2CD TV-advertised compilation curated by Oldfield himself alongside personal track-by-track sleeve notes.

As a special bonus, each purchase will be entitled to free download of an exclusive live performance this year.


Live performance? MOTS Bilbao concert? Or did they actually rescued more concerts from 1980-1981 tours?

Ooh, what's this then I wonder? Annoying if you have to buy the 'Two Sides' disc to get it though...
(Why do we have to keep buying the same stuff over and over again just to get the odd new thing as a 'bonus'. Just give us the new stuff separately! )

This sounds like a new live performance ("this year") to me. I hope so, anyway.  :)

So do I. It might just be the time limit for accessing the download though.  :/

"EXCLUSIVE live performance this year" ?

Is this a local invited audience near his home ?

It seems CD1 will contain a Multimedia track containing a weblink to download some live recording.

It's so 2001...

Anyway, let's see what they offer us.

Thanks for this information. As I don't like the track listing and the artwork I wouldn't have paid any attention to this release... Now I'm forced to purchase it .

Two Sides

That's what the marketing execs are hoping for.  :(
I don't know how I could justify buying all the same tracks again - and some that I already have multiple times - just to get a weblink for a 'free' download. It's got to be a pretty special download!  :O

Obviously not.

Multimedia track containing that special weblink is listed on any European online store.

What about this then!

EDIT
I now see it was already mentioned in Tubular Talk on July 22nd, but it has 16 tracks unmixed tracks of Tubular Bells for the first 14 minutes or so. Great to hear them in isolation and to be given the chance of a remix.

According to that press release the shiva track is being omitted
from the QE2 deluxe release, I wonder if thats why the release has been delayed.

Well I cut my order back to Platinum and Two Sides. Can't say I'm all that impressed. I would have been happier with a double (or even triple) live album. Can't get the live version of TB1 unless I buy QE2 Deluxe - what's deluxe about the old album plus some live tracks?

'The Complete' was such a perfect piece of work in such a perfect moment, that no other later compilation will be able to equal it.

"Complete" agree.
