I have the UK import CD and it is missing the same few minutes at the
beginning of track three.  This is especially frustrating since there
is more than enough room on the disc for the missing music.

Virgin's packaging of the Oldfield CDs leaves much to be desired . . .
the CDs are frequently tracked differently than the jewel box says.
They did have the courtesy to release pretty much his entire catalog
on CD, though.  (As far as I know, only AIRBORN [which was supplanted
by THE COMPLETE MIKE OLDFIELD] and BOXED are as yet unreleased on
disc.)

Does anyone know what the Japanese MOONLIGHT SHADOW CD is?  I know
I've asked it before but nobody seems to know . . .
