Crime of Passion (Mike Oldfield song)

The front cover features a sepia photograph of Mike Oldfield's mother Maureen, who died in January 1974, ten years before the release of this single. The song was released between Oldfield's albums Crises and Discovery. == Music video ==

The music video for "Crime of Passion" takes place in a surrealistic children's play room featuring books, giant letter blocks (some arranged to spell out the song’s title), a doll on a swing, a drumming soldier and a clown. Oldfield performs in a 'mechanical' fashion with Ovation and Fender Stratocaster guitars, while Palmer sits on a block and sings. The video is available on the Elements – The Best of Mike Oldfield video. == Track listing ==
