Amarok [HDCD]
1.  Amarok [HDCD] by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "Amarok: Many people's favourite Oldfield album, but I just can't get beyond Thatcher's voice. This is Oldfield's Marmite CD; You'll either love it or hate it."
Used & New from: £3.07
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews)

Tubular Bells 2003
2.  Tubular Bells 2003 by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "Tubular Bells 2003: Flat re-recording of the original album that is as faithful as possible. But it just has none of the sparkle of the original."
Used & New from: £3.98
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

The Millennium Bell
3.  The Millennium Bell by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "The Millenium Bell: Oh dear. Too much of a formula; too predictable. Just doesn't work. Avoid the Millenium concert DVD as well."
£5.57   Used & New from: £1.35
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Earth Moving
4.  Earth Moving by Mike Oldfield

Discovery
5.  Discovery by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "Discovery: Another from the phase of CDs with one longer piece and four or five  shorter songs. To France is good, but the rest..."
Used & New from: £12.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Orchestral Tubular Bells
6.  Orchestral Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
