PETALING JAYA, Aug 25 — Iconic English rock band Oasis will be release secret early versions of songs from the first recording session of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe by the end of this week to celebrate the album's 30-year anniversary, amid speculation the band may reunite. Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher said the tapes with unheard cuts of anthems like Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Rock 'n' Roll Star were early recordings from Monnow Valley Studios in south Wales that had been lost for almost 30 years, as a result of being 'mislabelled' and that he had only heard the recording six months ago. While Gallagher and the band thought it sounded “great”, management felt they lacked the raw intensity of their live sets resulting in the songs being re-recorded and released, resulting in Definitely Maybe went on to become the UK's then fastest-selling debut album of all time.
‘Definitely Maybe’ - Deluxe 30th Anniversary Editions Featuring unheard Monnow Valley versions and Sawmills Studios outtakes. Available on deluxe 4LP, 2CD, coloured vinyl, cassette and digitally with new artwork and sleeve notes. Released 30th August.
