The Complete Mike Oldfield is a compilation album written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield. CD one is a collection of shorter pieces and CD two is excerpts from Oldfield's longer pieces of music. Each of these two parts is then subdivided again into two parts; The instrumental section, The Vocal section, The Complex section and The Live section.

Some versions of the vinyl have less or different tracks; "The Instrumental Section" is missing "In Dulci Jubilo" and "Portsmouth" leaving only nine tracks on that first side. More, alternative pressings of the vinyl replaced "Mistake" with 7" mix of "Pictures in the Dark".
