Exposed is a live album by Mike Oldfield from the year 1979.
Background
The album is a collection of recordings from Oldfield tours in Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and England in the period March-April 1979. It reached the UK number 16 in the charts.
Subsequently, a double - CD version was released. Also under the name Exposed appeared later, in 2005, the DVD version of the concert at Wembley Conference Centre in London.
The song was released Guilty between albums and Incantations Exposed as a single.
Originally the concerts were recorded during the tour so that the musicians involved knew nothing about. As such, they could be paid less money. As the musicians then found out in the meantime, they were paid only for their performances, but not for the same recording. The recordings proceeded anyway, and the album was finally released.
On the cover of a film strip is shown in the photo Mike Oldfield can be seen in the concert hall. This will ( baring German, exposed but also exposed in the photo technology) on the ambiguous title exposed reference.
Exposed was taken with the help of the Manor Studios and mixed at London's The Townhouse.
