Notes

Cover helped by Bootleg the Irish Wolfhound from The Manor.
This album was recorded at The Manor in Spring 1974.

Originally Released on August 28th, 1974.
Remastered at Chop 'em Out, London - March/April 2000.

This is part of "Virgin Charisma" paper sleeve series.
Issued as a CD sized papersleeve album replica, with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese.

Despite not being mentioned anywhere on the release, this version contains the 1976 mixes from Boxed. The original 1974 mixes were not released on CD until June of 2010 on the Deluxe Edition.

This is a pressing from 2007 (probably re-pressing of this release), however the obi-strip shows the release date as 22nd, July 2004. There also isn't any informations about the HDCD format in sleeve notes or on the CD itself, but the release is basing exactly on the 2000 remaster, so we can assume the audio is in HDCD format as is the rest of Oldfield's "Virgin Charisma" mini LP releases.
