CD Reviews

Oldfield Platinum Collection

Peter Franklin | Australia | 01/15/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I play this 3 CD set often. It is a particularly good representation of Oldfields work squeezed onto a compilation.

There are a couple of "extended versions" that will appeal to avid collectors, like me, who may not have come across them before.

It doesn't say that the tracks are remastered, but maybe they are, as the recordings seem bright and "present".

Very worthwhile for anyone that has one or two Oldfield albums and needs to investigate further, or even for a collector that "needs" to have one of every conceivable version!"
