MIKE OLDFIELD  "BOXED"   -  VINYL 12" QUADROPHONIC LPs x 4 with different mixes!!

A great copy of 1970's UK ORIG. BOX SET OF 4 "QUADROPHONIC COMPATIBLE" LPs BY MIKE OLDFIELD - Virgin Recs. VBOX1 - complete with booklet and polylined inner sleeves of 4 different colours - everything in great condition and very conservatively graded......with numerous well known names accompyaning Oldfield - eg. Viv Stanshall - from Wikipaedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxed_(Mike_Oldfield_album) ="The traditional hornpipe melody "The Sailor's Hornpipe", which was the finale from Tubular Bells, has an extended speech from Viv Stanshall, which is from the recording sessions at The Manor Studio" - "Boxed is a compilation album written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield, released in 1976. It features SQ system 4 channel quadraphonic remixed versions of his first three albums (Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn) and some collaborations.""Boxed features quadraphonic remixed versions of his first three albums. Oldfield later explained that instead of being true 4 channel sound, the initial quad remix of Tubular Bells, released few months after the stereo version, was a "strange fake out-of-phase system", because it was so complex a mix without automation.[1]The quad remix of Tubular Bells on Boxed was entirely different and true 4 channel sound (later released on SACD). The Boxed-CD version still contains the SQ-encoded quad mixes and plays as normal stereo without a quad decoder. The SQ quad remix Hergest Ridge was the only version of the album available on CD (until 2010 Mercury Records reissue, Deluxe Edition), as Oldfield disliked the original vinyl mix.The traditional hornpipe melody "The Sailor's Hornpipe", which was the finale from Tubular Bells, has an extended speech from Viv Stanshall, which is from the recording sessions at The Manor Studio (see Tubular Bells original ending)."
