Dear Chris Dewey,
I am a very big fan of Mike Oldfield and i love his music. I have nine albums of him and unfortunately i couldn't found more of them up to now. Do you know any site on internet which i find his albums in MP3 format freely?
By the way, do you know his residence? somewhere in UK?
Looking forward for your early reply.
Yours,
Reza

Hi Reza,
Unfortunately, I do not currently know of any legal sites where you can download Mike's music.
You can find more information about Mike's discography on our website at http://www.mikeoldfield.org. Many of the albums are available to purchase online at retailers like Amazon, and although you don't mention where you live, most record stores around the World are able to source Mike's music for special order.
Mike obviously prefers that we do not share his private address, but he lives in a large mansion in the countryside Buckinghamshire. The house also has a separate building with his recording studio in it.
Hope this is of some help?
Best regards
Chris
Hi again Chris,
Your reply was "crystal clear" and really helpful, thank you (P.S: This is one of his compositions that i die for).
Let me inform you that i live in Tehran/Iran, a county that many many things are up side down. Maybe strange for you, but there is no legal record store here that i can find his albums, in reallity these sort of music is forbidden here. Ridiculous, isn't it?
Anyway, I have a close friend who lives in Toronto/Canada and he will comeback Tehran in almost two months. If you inform me about Mike album's special offer around there, it would be beneficial.
looking forward for your early reply.
Yours,
Reza
(P.S: I like to know your opinion and I'll be pleased if you drop me a line about my country and my situation.)
Answer Glad this was of help. Mike's records can be a little more tricky to get hold of in Canada / USA, but they should be available to order.
I'm not aware of any special offers on Mike's albums in any stores, I'm afraid.
I hope you manage to get your hands on some more of Mike's music soon!
