bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: May 09 2003, 18:25 I was just wondering if anyone else had multiple copies of the same albums/songs just because they have some differences, for example i have 3 cd copies of TSODE just because one has the cd-rom track and the other has a different cover, and the original realease, the same can be said for TB, i have an original 1973 pressing, a re release, picture disc etc, am i the only one out there!   -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top

I personally don't have duplicates of any CDs, but there were a few times where i wanted just one CD in a 3BOX set, and the other two would be duplicates, but i never went through with it (those box sets are damn expensive!. I think the only reason why i would get a duplicate on purpose would be because there was somekind of different track listing on it. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 10 2003, 16:08 While I am addicted to collecting Mike Oldfield stuff, I don't have 2 copies of 1 album as of yet. One I would get right off is the newer version of TSODE with the CD Rom track. I only have the first one with the crescent. I like the artwork on that one better than the other, though. Though I'd still want the newer version. -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things. If all the world was blue there would be no colour blue."

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 10 2003, 20:33 Yes, I also got multiple CD's of Mike. I have the whole Mike Oldfield collection of his "old" cd's, plus the whole collection of the remaster cd's. And I almost have the collection on vinyl (which has been released on vinyl though). I have about 5 or 6 tubular bells versions, from vinyls to picture vinyl to cd to SACD ). I also have copies of Five Miles Out and Crises because they are from Disky and have some altered graphics. And I'm considering to rebuy Tr3s Lunas because the inlay has had a bad cutting job. But I don't need help. Go see Rainer's collection! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 11 2003, 17:06 Oh, by the way: I also have two exactly identical copies of Tres Lunas, 'cause I found a ruffled booklet in the first. Brandon: contact me privately, maybe we can reach an agreement. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 11 2003, 18:26 That's same thing happened to me Ugo, about the TL booklet!! You can read about it when you scroll up here. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 13 2003, 15:28 I don't know if it's the same thing that happened to you, Blue, but my first TL booklet was not badly cut - it was ruffled, i.e. crumpled, full of obviously unintended marks of foldings. And as I am crazy enough to care for CD booklets just as much as I care for CDs , I bought another copy of TL the very next day. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 13 2003, 17:44 Yeah me too about the booklets. Oke, mine had a bad cutting job. You know what happened when I bought the Amarok cd? I was at my local record shop ordering this Amarok cd. Had to wait a few weeks and it finaly arrived. So I wen to the shop and the guy behind the desk opens the cd, takes out the order bill and by accident crumbles my booklet a bit!! I can't handle this. Luckly you can't see very well, but I still have to buy a second TL copy. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Sysiyo Group: Members Posts: 245 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: May 14 2003, 04:10 I haven't got multiple copies of any MO albums yet (though I plan to buy QE2 remastered version soon), but I have got multiple copies of two David Bowie albums. I've got the 1999 reissue of Ziggy Stardust, as well as the 30th Anniversary Edition. You might think that it makes sense because the anniversary edition has a bonus disc, but I already had majority of those tracks in other formats. Another double is 1. Outside. I originally bought the version 2 that omist one track from the original and adds a Pet Shop Boys remix of Hallo Spaceboy. A year or so later I bought version 1, for three times the price I payed for version 2, just top get that one track (which was great, though). Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 14 2003, 09:06 Oh, by the way: I have three copies of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon [Shine On boxed set CD, 25th Anniversary CD, 30th Anniversary CD], and two yet again exactly identical copies of Five Miles Out, both Disky. Those stupid guys at the online shop fooled me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
