Mike Oldfield’s fifth album was partially recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and the title suite especially nods to the bustle of the city at the time. Impeccably arranged and produced, the album was released in November 1979. It was Oldfield’s first album that contained shorter songs, including a beautiful version of George Gershwin’s "I Got Rhythm", and a new arrangement of "North Star" by Philip Glass.
The 2012 remastered edition contains three bonus tracks: a live studio session of Platinum, a 2012 mix of "North Star" by Mike and the single A-side "Blue Peter". The second disc of the Deluxe Edition, which contains an interview with Mike in its 16-page booklet, features nine previously unreleased tracks, recorded on the Platinum tour at Wembley Arena in May 1980.
