Mike Oldfield / “Man On The Rocks” deluxe edition and box set

Mike Oldfield has revealed that in addition to the previously announced CD and double vinyl versions of his forthcoming album Man On The Rocks, a two-CD deluxe edition and a three-CD box set will also be available.

With the release now pushed back until 3 March 2014, fans will need to decide which format to go for. The two-CD edition offers a second disc of instrumental versions of the album’s tracks. The box set includes both discs from the deluxe and adds a third CD of original demos, along with alternate mixes of four of the album’s tracks. In addition this set comes with a 16-page CD size booklet, four art cards and two portraits of Oldfield, as well as a certificate of authenticity.

All versions should be available from the usual retailers (although they are not showing on all Amazon stores at the time of writing), but if you opt for the box set, you will need to purchase direct from Oldfield’s online store, since it’s an exclusive. It’s also worth noting that the music unique to the box set will not be available digitally.
