Mike Oldfield First 3 albums re-release

Link would be great.

How about this.

Wow!! This is wonderful news. I think Ommadawn is Mike Oldfield at his peak; and it is easily one of my "deserted island" choices. I hope there is sufficient demand for these that will lead to later releases getting the surround treatment (Five Miles Out in particular, also QE2).

Thanks.

I like the new cover for Hergest Ridge

Please let Mike do DVD-A for these instead of lossy Dolby...or better yet Blu-ray versions.

Amazon UK shipped on Monday

Dulby Digital; I am afraid which is a shame as the mixes themselves are brilliant, as is the music. These are first time albums for me only bought them because there was a surroudn disc in the pack.

I broke down and ordered these to Canada from the Amazon UK site, which works out to 1/2 price of ordering from Amazon US or Amazon CA.

I loathe the fact that these surround mixes are delivered to us in the lowest possible manner, Dolby 448 Kbps (okay they could have gone with a slightly lower bitrate, but for all intents and purposes this is crap for music), but I need to hear them.

I will probably give them a once through and then sell them. Maybe it will take another couple years, but I can't imagine these won't resurface on Blu-ray Audio at some point. All that work to create a surround mix and then Dolby? It's so incongrous in the face of the previous SACD and DVD-A releases of TB and TB2003.
