  2. "In High Places" (Oldfield, Jon Anderson) – 3:33 (vocals by Jon Anderson)
  3. "Foreign Affair" (Oldfield, Maggie Reilly) – 3:53 (vocals by Maggie Reilly)
  4. "Taurus 3" (Oldfield) – 2:25 (instrumental)
  5. "Shadow on the Wall" (Oldfield) – 3:09 (vocals by Roger Chapman)

Side two

  1. "Crises" (Mike Oldfield) – 20:40

  


interesting that, on my old vinyl of Crises in Canada, "Mistake" was the first track, and it was a hit in Ottawa along with Moonlight Shadow.  Mistake isn't even on the UK version.   All the others songs are there, but "moonlight Shadow" was the last song on side 1.  

This is one of my very fave Oldfield "pop" songs, in its delectable 12" single version that I sadly no longer own

Like Jose(Catcher10)  I'm not a huge fan ....I do own Tubular bells, Ommadawn and Hergest Ridge but never play them. Oldfield is too mellow and repetitive for me. Dare I say... even boring at times. It surprises me somewhat that so many here seem to like his music....but there are a good deal of people who like what I call ambient or soundtrack type music.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Has anyone seen Fadalack's incredible live performances of Mike Oldfield's albums?
 
They're amazing! Thumbs Up
 
If you haven't yet seen Fadalack perform live, then Ommadawn is THE performance to see on Page 1 of this thread. You won't be disappointed. Wink

One of my brothers likes Britney Spears and Lady Gaga and he "only likes music you can dance to", so that says it all really. Smile

My wife buys me records all the time, she made me build the record units so I can display them and access them easier. She's a Peach!!!

I don't organize in any order at all, so by definition no organization. I like it that way so then I just flip thru till I find something catches my eye.
I just built some record storage bins, I need to build 2 more to fit more I have in boxes/crates, each holds about 450-475 records.

 
I didn't realise that second picture was a photo of your own private albums collection. I'm seriously impressed! Cool

Which one? Let me guess..... Ommadawn?
 
The good news is that all of Mike Oldfield's full albums appear to be on YouTube at the moment, so this seemed like the perfect time for a Mike Oldfield albums tribute. Smile
I've heard many of them, I do have some of them as digital downloads. I don't count downloads as part of a "music collection". You don't own anything, show me your digital files??

The man and his story is more interesting to me than his music. I have too much hard rock, heavy metal in me to really connect to his music.

I "hard copy" all my downloads onto CDs! Does that count for my "music collection"?
 

Yes, you get partial credit LOL.......At least you can show me a physical copy of what you bought.
