Album Cover
Mike Oldfield
Platinum

Album UK 1979 on Virgin label
Rock (Folk Rock, Prog Rock)

This entry is only for versions of the album with the track "Sally", which is only on initial LP pressings with "-B-1" or "-B-2" in the B-side runout groove. Some later pressings (such as those with "-B-3" or "-B-4" in the B-side runout) have "Sally" printed on the label and cover, but actually contain "Into Wonderland". Please check your copies thoroughly before listing them for sale or adding to your collection - if they do not have a "-B-1" or "-B-2"matrix, then please list them under another entry. The entry for all later UK pressings is here: Platinum. "Sally" was reportedly removed at Richard Branson's request, as he apparently did not like the song.
