It is not a "best-of" type compilation but rather an introduction to his eclectic body of works and his evolution as a composer from complex instrumentals to his most recent hit singles.
Originally issued on double LP, each side was themed :
⦿ A : The Instrumental Section - contains short pop/folk instrumentals from the 1970s and 1980s, many of which were non-album tracks, previously issued on singles very much sought-after by collectors.
⦿ B : The Vocal Section - contains all hit singles that Oldfield had from 1982 to 1984.
⦿ C : The Complex Section : contains excerpts from Oldfield's first 4 albums (1973-1978) when he composed sides-long instrumental works, plus an excerpt from his soundtrack for the film The Killing Fields (1984).
⦿ D : The Live Section - contains all previously unreleased live tracks from Oldfield's tours in 1981 and 1982 with The Mike Oldfield Group. For many fans, these tracks were the main interest of this compilation, the versions of the songs performed here are far superior to their original studio recordings.
CONDITION EXTRA Both Vinyl Records are described as Excellent in condition. There are a reasonable number of extremely fine hairlines & sleeve marks on each side of the records, none of which are feelable. Plays with below average background. The Gatefold Cover is described as Excellent & is structurally sound with no seam splits. Original Hype & Price Stickers on front. Light general wear with a little paper loss to the corners/edges.
