Description

Mike Oldfield has hand signed this copy of the gatefold sleeve LP “Five Miles Out” on the front cover in blue ink.  Five Miles Out is the seventh album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1982, at a time when his music was moving away from large-scale symphonic pieces towards a more accessible pop style. It is one of the very few albums on which Oldfield sings lead vocals, as he is noted for not having any confidence in his voice’s qualities. The album uses the Fairlight CMI as a main instrument and produced two singles. Five Miles Out, the album, was more popular than Oldfield’s last few releases. It charted at #7 in the UK, whereas both QE2 (1980) and Platinum (1979) had failed to reach the top twenty. Oldfield’s commercial revival would continue with subsequent albums Crises (1983) and Discovery (1984). The album was recorded in Buckinghamshire in 1981 and 1982, and the Five Miles Out World Tour 1982 was in promotion of the album.
