Ray Group: Members Posts: 857 Joined: Jan. 2000 Posted: Mar. 16 2006, 13:50 Sorry, Just got off a plane - jet lag (Stavanger to Aberdeen!!.  If you are new I should be clearer with my answers. Most of the albums are out on CD, but as you specifically ask for Singles.  Do you mean specifically single CD's or just those issued previosly on Single CD but now 'on' CD somewhere. I think alot of the earlier singles were included in the extended Elements 4CD boxed set.  I also have a few 4 track CD's of mixes and later stuff - like Tattoo, The last song on Tubular bells 2 which various voices - Billy Conelly, Alan Rickman etc., Also some house mixes of some songs The Bell I think - again from Tub2. I dont think I have seen Pictures in the dark as a CD single but it's on Mike Oldfield collection from 2002. I cant thnk of anything else just now.  Hope that helps. Cheers  Ray PS  I just noticed that elements 4CD set is not listed on the Discography on tubular.net, I'll submitt it if not one else does before the weekend - but i'll have to type it in - if anyone has got it electronicaly please mail me to saver me the effort. -------------- Looking out over the harbour in Peel.......

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 17 2006, 11:22 The extended version (or rather, the full version) of PITD is on a German compilation called EAMS (Vol. 11). And it's NOT a vinyl-to-CD transfer... it's a CD version. Or at least it sounds like it is. I wonder how did they get hold of the master... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

As for PITD, see my post above. Edit: Don Alfonso is indeed the video (mono) version. What a shame.   NEW EDIT: PITD on Platinum Collection is the long version. I just discovered it. This makes me very happy. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
