Oldfield, Mike | QE2 | CD

Mike Oldfield is an English multi-instrumentalist and composer, born in Reading, Berkshire, on 15 May 1953. His music blends progressive rock, folk, ethnic or world music, classical, electronic and New Age styles, and more recently dance, and is often elaborate and complex in nature. He is best known for the 1973 album Tubular Bells, which established Virgin Records, and for the 1983 single Moonlight Shadow.

QE2 was originally released in October 1980, and this 2012 stereo remaster on Mercury includes covers of Wonderful Land by The Shadows and Arrival by ABBA. It also includes a live recording from the 1980 European tour, a B-side from the same year and a previously unreleased track.
