The second disc of the Deluxe edition – which features an interview with Oldfield in its 16-page booklet – contains nine previously unreleased tracks recorded during the Platinum tour at Wembley Arena in May 1980.
The 2012 remastered edition contains three bonus tracks – a live studio session of Platinum, a 2012 mix of North Star by Oldfield and the single A-side, Blue Peter.
It was Oldfield’s first album to feature shorter songs, including a beautiful version of George Gershwin’s I Got Rhythmand a new arrangement of North Star by Philip Glass. Recorded in part at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the mood of Oldfield’s fifth album especially reflects the bustling dynamic of the city in the late Seventies. Like the previous releases in the series, Mike Oldfield has been closely involved in their assemblage, approving masters, selecting and adding material from his archive to make the packages definitive editions. Universal Music Catalogue/Mercury Records are delighted to announce the fifth and sixth in Mike Oldfield’s critically acclaimed reissue programme, Platinum and QE2. En esta ocasión son las de PLATINUM & QE2.Ĭelebremos este acontecimiento, ya habitual en Mike Oldfield… Fiel a su cita, poco antes del verano, para el 23 de Julio, ya llegan las esperadas reediciones.
