Mike Oldfield Remaster Campaign Continues with "Crises," "Five Miles Out"

July 15, 2013 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Crises BoxUniversal's Mike Oldfield expanded remaster campaign begins with reissues of two of his more pop-friendly records: 1982's Five Miles Out and 1983's Crises, both of which will come packed with extras in September.

While both albums featured their share of ambitious and complex pieces like "Taurus II" and Crises' title track, there was an increasing presence of keyboards on both albums, notably the Fairlight CMI and Oberheim OBX synthesizers. On Five Miles Out, Oldfield made rare vocal appearances alongside Scottish singer Maggie Reilly, who'd first collaborated with Oldfield on 1980's QE2 and would work with him throughout the 1980s. Crises, meanwhile, features vocals from Reilly, British vocalist Roger Chapman and Jon Anderson of Yes.

While Crises yielded Oldfield's most successful single in Europe with "Moonlight Shadow," Five Miles Out yielded what is technically his most successful song in the U.S.: "Family Man," which was taken to No. 6 in 1982 by Daryl Hall & John Oates.

And what extras await you on the expanded editions of these albums? Find out after the jump!

Layout 1Five Miles Out will be released as a three-disc deluxe edition - two CDs and a DVD. The first disc features the original, remastered album augmented with non-LP B-side "Waldberg (The Peak)" and a demo of the title track, while the second features eight tracks from a 1982 live show in Cologne, France. The DVD features the original album, newly remixed by Oldfield in 5.1 surround sound, as well as a promo video for the title track.

Crises, meanwhile, gets quite the deluxe treatment, available as a five-disc box set. The remastered album is augmented on Disc 1 with non-LP singles "Mistake" and "Crime of Passion" (along with its B-side "Jungle Gardenia") and 12" mixes and new "unplugged" mixes of singles "Moonlight Shadow" and "Shadow on the Wall." Discs 2 and 3 feature another live show, this time from Wembley Arena in the summer of 1983. Finally, the box closes out with two DVDs: one of promo videos and live footage, the other of the album mixed in 5.1 surround sound.

Additional formats will be available, including single-disc remasters and newly-cut LP editions. (Limited colored vinyl variants will be made available, as well.) Crises will also be given a standard Universal Deluxe Edition release, distilling the live material to one disc. All configurations will be available in the U.K. on September 1, with Amazon U.K. pre-orders (and Amazon U.S. pre-orders for the deluxe editions) live now.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    It's interesting that the 1982 single "Mistake" is included with Crises, while its B-side, "Waldberg (The Peak)" is included with Five Miles Out. I wonder why they were separated.
