Guilty (Mike Oldfield song)

"Guilty" is a single by English musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1979 on Virgin Records.

It is notable for being Oldfield's first obvious attempt to capitalise on a current musical trend, in this case disco.

The UK 12" edition was originally issued on pale blue vinyl.

The composition came from Oldfield's desire to create an up-tempo tune based on a more interesting chord structure than was typical for disco music; it is built on the circle of fifths chord sequence previously used as the leitmotif of the musician's previous album Incantations.

A promo video for "Guilty 2013" was released by earMusic, which features a shortened version of the "Guilty Electrofunk Mix" from the Oldfield/York remix album Tubular Beats.
