I’m not going to say anything negative about “yet another” Mike Oldfield classics re-release – only note that this time around it is NOT another Tubular Bells version… This year it is all about two just as interesting releases, Hergest Ridge (1974) and Ommadawn (1975).

Amazon.co.uk has now begun taking pre-orders on the Deluxe Editions of these albums. According to their track lists, Hergest Ridge includes In Dulci Jubilo (For Maureen), Spanish Tune and demos of Part One and Part Two. Ommadawn includes a ‘lost version’.

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 is May 24th. There will also be vinyl editions available.
