Amarok

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of this much loved Mike Oldfield LP, a personal favourite of the artist, a double LP edition, half-speed mastered by Miles Showell is being released. Originally presented as a sixty-minute suite of music, split into two halves on single vinyl, here, with approval of Mike, we have splitting the album into four 15 minute edits, in order to optimise audio fidelity, with expanded artwork. Mike again plays almost everything on the album, including 'Long Thin metallic hanging Tubes' as listed on the sleeve; a punning reference, of course, to 'tubular bells'.
