Since EMI owns Virgin, there must be transactions between Virgin and Disky... Virgin must have "given" some back catalogue to Disky, such as Mike's non-remastered records. -------------- Rejoignez la Tubular Mailing List francophone ! http://www.tubular.free.fr/tubular.php Back to top

And if you look here in the cd stores you can find nothing but Disky cd's of Mike. I have Orchestral Tubular Bells, Five Miles Out, Crises and Earth Moving on the Disky edition (some of them I also have on normal Virgin edition). Indeed, the cd's are cheaper and they have a slight differences in the artwork. But the sound quality is the same as the normal cd's I guess, because they were launched before the remasters. Interesting though, I never actually thought about quality differences. Maybe I'm going to try soon! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Aug. 31 2003, 14:28 Disky launched 2 packs of three MO CDs each one. But the record shops sold them as single CDs too. The content of each pack is: Pack 1: -Ommadawn -The Orchestral Tubular Bells -Earth Moving Pack 2: -Five Miles Out -Crises -Heaven's Open I very much doubt you can find any other MO title with the Disky record label. And I suppose that the audio content is the same as the normal (non HDCD) releases of this records with only slight differences at the artwork. Back to top
