YEAR 2002

This year 2002 was really incredible. I bought a lot of ultra rare Oldfield vinyl items as Guilty 10'' promo USA, Don Alfonso 7'' Italy, 13 LP box 1974-1983 Sweden, Guilty 7'' Hong Kong, LP Platinum with Sally, etc, etc:

1 December 2002: Very interesting Five Miles Out vinyl LP from Poland. It is NOT foldcover and different backsleeve. Thanks Francesc !!

11 November 2002: My friend Jens sent to me this single. The vinyl is the VS101 english edition and the sleeve is a folded paper (opened by 3 sides) with the same cover and the same backcover. Some options are possible: 1) an England reedition, 2) a fake England edition or 3) the real first Mike Oldfield single from Sweden. Reasons to think that maybe this single is really a swedish pressing are: 3.1) this single is quite possible to find it in scandinavian record fairs and 3.2) a lot of swedish singles in the 60's and until 1975 were the England vinyl with this folded paper with the same cover and backcover than the England edition cover.  So I think this single maybe is the real first swedish single. Can anyone help me to find the real answer ?
