Ommadawn is one of the best albums of all time.
Thanks Mike, years and years of pleasure for me. 37 years or so, wow I'm old

[cuchullain]

Basically too good to be admitted into the pantheon of 'critically acclaimed' popular music. A genuine masterpiece.

[johnbeagley]

This is the best album from the 70s, closely followed by Incantations. He nailed it with these albums.

I've always said that Mike Oldfield doesn't play the Guitar....he simply makes it sing for him, beautiful, unique, inspiring.

[peterclarke]

my Christmas present in 1975 I was 11 yrs still my favourite of all time.

[carbonbased]

Now 57, and I still copy Ommadawn onto my car's player every once in a while. And a good day ends best with driving home and... Ommadawn. Sends shivers down the spine. This is a very-very exciting version, I'll buy it and swap it for a while. Thanks.

how sweet this lost version...its came back to the magic

[DarrinSnider]

Funny. I listened and thought, "Meh, okay." Then I remembered and put my LEFT earbud in as well.

I'm a purist, and rarely do I think "alternate versions" are worthy. THIS is amazing!

[badams]

I really like this gentle, softer version, a LOT. Thanks for the upload! 👍

[FLDT-Alain]

Amazing version of this masterpiece, thanks a lot. A refreshing rediscovery of a tune whose every
note I know by heart. I shall certainly consider buying this album if it's still to be found.

[rusca]

So pure, so emotional strong ..a pearl !!!

[pufflejr]

I say I say I say, this was a treat to listen to! Love you Mike

[cismercier]

What a wonderful alternative version of my favourite album of all times. Didn't know it existed. I wouldn't have liked it from anybody else than the master himself.
Well, maybe except for the conversation between two drunken farmers in a muddy field, which is possibly an acquired taste.

[sidensvans]

Wonderful and timeless . A visionary, a genius .

[arturogarcia]

I recommend to listen to Mike's Return to Ommadawn interview. There Mike explains the origin of this "lost version".

[irinamihajlovic]

Lost version to be saved of this masterpiece. Thanks.

[k.boorack]

wersja mocno alternatywna, mocno nasiąknąłem tą oryginalną z winyla - teraz jakbym słuchał tego któryś z pierwszych razów - emocje jak w '70.

[constantinkostenczyk]

To My Lady Miki with love ....soul and heart ....o parere doar ... Dna Mihaela Kostenczyk, a familiei cu acelasi nume ....La Multi Ani !

[robcheerful]

It's good but we got a much better version after the tape broke.

[corradoargiolas]

Che bellissimo brano...e disco....peccato che non ne ha fatto altri così
