I don't organize in any order at all, so by definition no organization. I like it that way so then I just flip thru till I find something catches my eye.
I just built some record storage bins, I need to build 2 more to fit more I have in boxes/crates, each holds about 450-475 records.

I didn't realise that second picture was a photo of your own private albums collection. I'm seriously impressed! Cool

One of my brothers likes Britney Spears and Lady Gaga and he "only likes music you can dance to", so that says it all really. Smile

I just added Fadalack's Live performance of Tubular Bells to the beginning of this thread, and if you haven't already seen them, you're in for a treat. Thumbs Up

Has anyone seen Fadalack's incredible live performances of Mike Oldfield's albums?
 
They're amazing! Thumbs Up
 
If you haven't yet seen Fadalack perform live, then Ommadawn is THE performance to see on Page 1 of this thread. You won't be disappointed. Wink

Like Jose(Catcher10)  I'm not a huge fan ....I do own Tubular bells, Ommadawn and Hergest Ridge but never play them. Oldfield is too mellow and repetitive for me. Dare I say... even boring at times. It surprises me somewhat that so many here seem to like his music....but there are a good deal of people who like what I call ambient or soundtrack type music.

interesting that, on my old vinyl of Crises in Canada, "Mistake" was the first track, and it was a hit in Ottawa along with Moonlight Shadow.  Mistake isn't even on the UK version.   All the others songs are there, but "moonlight Shadow" was the last song on side 1.  

This is one of my very fave Oldfield "pop" songs, in its delectable 12" single version that I sadly no longer own

I bought the Crises boxset for the live material, not really a fan of the album itself

^ Yes, that's right - "Mistake" was on the North American version of Crisis, but was presumably missed off the British version of Crises by mistake, although the "Mistake" has now been rectified and it's now included on the CD reissue of Crises as a bonus track, so crisis over. Smile

Whilst it's certainly true that Hergest Ridge is mellow and repetitive,  I definitely wouldn't say that about Tubular Bells and Ommadawn. Wink

I love minimalist jazz and ambient music so I have no issue with repetition and mellowness in Oldfield.

Hergest Ridge is the only Mike Oldfield album I've heard that I'd describe as mellow and repetitious. I think Mike Oldfield just wanted to chill out for awhile by retreating to the seclusion of Hergest Ridge on the England/Wales border after being overwhelmed by the enormous success of Tubular Bells.
