Mike Oldfield / “Crises” and “Five Miles Out” reissue buying guide

Mike Oldfield / Crises box set

As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, Five Miles Out and Crises, Mike Oldfield’s 1982 and 1983 albums for Virgin Records are being reissued on 2 September 2013.

Now that all the details around track listings and formats have come to light, we thought it was worth revisiting exactly what your options are for each title.

Crises

Crises is being issued in four formats: two-CD deluxe edition, a single CD remaster, vinyl LP and a three-CD/two-DVD box set (not four-CD/DVD as first suggested).

Box Set
In the box set the first CD contains the remastered album plus Moonlight Shadow (2013 ‘unplugged mix’), Shadow On The Wall (2013 ‘unplugged mix’), MistakeCrime Of Passion (Extended Version), Jungle Gardenia, Moonlight Shadow (12″ version) and Shadow On The Wall (12″ version). Discs two and three contain twelve tracks as performed live at Wembley Arena on 22nd July 1983 on the Crises tour. Disc four is a DVD which includes Moonlight Shadow from BBC TV’s Top Of The Pops and video of some tracks from the concert mentioned above. The fifth and final disc is a DVD which contains a 5.1 surround sound mix of the Crises album. Full track listing at the end of this post! The box set comes with what looks like a hardback book.

Deluxe Edition
This is a two-CD set, actually discs one and three from the box set, packaged in the usual way.

Five Miles Out

Things are much simpler with Five Miles Out which is being reissued in three different formats.

Mike Oldfield / Five Miles Out deluxe edition

Deluxe Edition
A three disc set: two CDs and a DVD. Disc one contains the remastered album plus Waldberg (The Peak) and Five Miles Out (demo).  The second CD is eight tracks as performed Live In Cologne in December 1982 on the Five Miles Out tour. The DVD contains the album remixed for 5.1 surround sound. It should be said that this represents excellent value for money.
