Quote (equinoxe @ June 16 2012, 02:08) | BTW have anybody noticed, that if you enter the QE2 vinyl edition you have '2000 Digital Remaster' after every track? Can it be true, that this applies also the Platinum album and the CD editions? So we even don't get actually new 2012 remaster of the albums but a 2000 remaster?? Now i'am confused.... |
Well spotted and looking at the blurb, it doesn't say anywhere that these are remastered!!! "Like the previous releases in the series, Mike Oldfield has been closely involved in their assemblage, selecting material, approving masters and adding material from his archive to make the packages definitive editions." All the earlier ones had 'remastered' somewhere, even if it was just on the track listing. However, on another website: "The 2012 remastered edition contains three bonus tracks – a live studio session of Platinum, a 2012 mix of North Star by Mike and the single A side, Blue Peter. The second disc of the Deluxe edition, which contains an interview with Mike in its 16-page booklet, features nine previously unreleased tracks recorded on the Platinum tour at Wembley Arena in May 1980." and: "The 2012 remastered edition contains three bonus tracks, the single edit of Wonderful Land, the live B-side ‘Polka’, and a 2012 reworking of Sheba, entitled Shiva. The second disc of the Deluxe edition, which contains an interview with Mike in its 16-page booklet, features nine previously unreleased tracks recorded on the QE2 tour in Essen, Germany in 1981."
