Children of the Sun is the 1969 album by British folk duo The Sallyangie; siblings Mike and Sally Oldfield. The album was produced by Nathan Joseph, founder of the record label Transatlantic Records. The album was reissued in 2002, with bonus tracks and a second disc, and again reissued on 26 September 2011 by Esoteric Recordings. The album pre-dates Mike Oldfield's debut solo album, Tubular Bells, by 4 years and Sally Oldfield's Water Bearer by 9 years. All songs written by Mike and Sally Oldfield.

This album comprises a classic collection of early recordings by Sally Oldfield with her then 15 year old brother Michael. The music, which was recorded in 1968, serves as a fascinating record of the two Oldfields who have now carved enormously successful individual careers in their own right. Musical arrangement for two violins, viola, cello and harpsichord on "Lady Mary" and "Midsummer Night's Happenings" are by David Palmer. Matrix, Runout: YS-7020-A-1. Matrix, Runout: YS-7020-B-1.

Mike would of course go in a just a few years to make Tubular Bells and Sally didn't do a solo album until 1978's Water Bearer (worth checking out if you're a Mike and/or Sally Oldfield fan). Song Of The Healer would be reused by Sally on Water Bearer and is probably the proggiest track on the original album. The bonus disc in my CD version has three guitar improvisations, about 15 minutes worth altogether, from Mike, you might hear some formative Tubular Bells bits.

The Sallyangie's Children of the Sun album has its charm, but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting to collectors as it is had it not marked the first appearance on record of Mike Oldfield and Sally Oldfield. Even by the standards of the late '60s, it's fey, naïve British folk with touches of pop in Ray Warleigh's flute, Terry Cox's percussion, and David Palmer's arrangements.

melody of you
Not that it's very important, but I have a copy of this Italian version with the same label identification number and can't find 1979 anywhere, just 1968...
