i love Platinum. Should be a great reissue with the bonus live disc.
QE2 looks good too and if they'd do Five Miles Out I'd be a happy camper.

Instead of the Platinum album, the US market got a 2-LP set titled Airborn. The first album was Platinum, possibly remixed, plus the non-LP single "Guilty." The second LP was another live version of "Tubular Bells (Pt. 1)" and some of "Incantations." AFAIK, the bonus LP has never been reissued in any form, including on CD. Would've made an appropriate addition to this new deluxe edition.

Image

Record One:
1. Platinum Part 1 - Airborn 4:59
2. Platinum Part 2 - Platinum 4:56
3. Platinum Part 3 - Charleston 3:11
4. Platinum Part 4 - North Star/Platinum Finale 4:36
5. Guilty 3:48
6. Into Wonderland 3:36
7. Punkadiddle 5:39
8. I Got Rhythm 4:35

Record Two:
9. Tubular Bells - Part 1 - Live 23:40
10. Incantations - Studio And Live 19:26

I agree Jimbo-although this is for the UK market so I understand why they didn't. But if US releases get UK only bonus tracks, why not here?
Either way, this looks really nice and I've always like QE2 as well.

From musictap.net:

If you had been hoping tht the upcoming Mike Oldfield remasters expected in th UK on July 23 would hit American shelves, well, you’re a lucky sort. On August 13, Hip-O Records will reissue these UK assembled classic Oldfield titles. Platinum (1979), and QE2 (1980) as well as another album, a ‘best of’ called Two Sides: The Very Best of Mike Oldfield are all scheduled for the same date.
