In 1974, Mike Oldfield followed up his hit 1973 debut full-length Tubular Bells with the chart-topping Hergest Ridge. Five decades later, the English prog rocker is prepping a deluxe reissue of his sophomore album, the next step in Oldfield’s “first three” reissue series.
Set for release on June 27, the 2LP set is highlighted by Oldfield’s 2010 mix of Hergest Ridge, which is being pressed to vinyl for the first time. It also features a new half-speed remaster of the 1974 album mix by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, plus new artwork and a new liner quote from Oldfield.
Hergest Ridge: 50th Anniversary will also be available as a Super Deluxe Edition special Blu Ray Audio that offers even more experiences…
