Yesterday I got the news about the new editions of Platinum and QE2. That made me visit Amazon.co.uk and there I saw the news about this upcoming release called "Original Album Selection".

Does anyone have more information on this 6 CD boxset?

This is a box set of the first 6 remastered albums. I have a version of this box set by The Cure which has their first few remastered albums in mini LP type sleeves. It's a cheaper way of buying the single disc versions of the albums.

Here's a link to a UK store listing the Mike Oldfield Original Album Selection: http://www.spincds.com/coming-soon/original-album-selection-6cd

Thanks Neil-H

I suspected it was something like that. Nice little collection.

According to the track listing on that linked page, these discs are the Deluxe editions without the bonus discs? Does this mean that they feature the 2010 mixes for 'Hergest Ridge' and 'Ommadawn'?

I've got the original 'Tubular Bells' and 'Ommadawn' albums on CD and the rest of this bunch on vinyl, but I'm thinking of getting this box for having them all on CD. But it feels odd if the 2010 mixes (and bonus tracks) are on the discs, if the cover art is the same as the original LP...
