Description

This 1976 Mike Oldfield "Boxed" set is an investment-grade masterpiece for audiophiles and serious collectors. This set is not a mere repackaging; it is a meticulously engineered archive featuring exclusive SQ Quadraphonic remixes overseen by Oldfield himself. Finding the notoriously fragile textured white box in this pristine, foxing-free condition makes it a definitive "Top Copy".

2. Premium Collector's Description

This is the holy grail for Mike Oldfield fans: a Mint, unplayed copy of the 1976 "Boxed" 4-LP set. This collection is legendary among audiophiles for its Quadraphonic remixes, which offer a deeper, more lush soundstage even when played on standard stereo equipment.

💿 The Definitive Audio Experience:

  • Tubular Bells: Features a unique Quadraphonic remix distinctly different from the standard stereo release.

  • Hergest Ridge: A Mike Oldfield remix that many enthusiasts prefer over the original 1974 version.

  • Ommadawn: A stunning Quadraphonic remix of Oldfield’s third masterpiece.

  • Collaborations: A rare compilation featuring David Bedford and Leslie Penning, including hits like "Portsmouth" and "In Dulci Jubilo".

💎 Collector’s Condition Report:

  • The Vinyl (MINT): Flawless "factory mirror" gloss with zero spindle marks; these records appear never to have been played.

  • The Box (Near Mint): The textured white box is remarkably clean and free of the brown age spots (foxing) that plague almost all other extant copies.

  • The Booklet: Includes the original 12-page large-format booklet featuring Al Clark’s essay; crisp with no creases or "thumbing" marks.

  • Inner Sleeves: All four original color-coded sleeves (Blue, Green, Yellow, and Lavender) are present and in perfect condition.

📖 Technical Identification:

  • Artist: Mike Oldfield

  • Label: Virgin Records (Classic "Two Virgins" logo)

  • Catalog Number: VBOX 1

  • Format: 4 x 12-inch Vinyl LPs (Quadraphonic / Stereo Compatible)

  • Release Year: 1976
