Oasis - Definitely Maybe

They'd had a lot of trouble recording the album. I believe this version was recorded with Mark Coyle. He was their sound engineer and Noel was hoping that he'd get it right, because he knew what they sounded like live.

It wasn't to be of course, and in the end it was Owen Morris who came to the bands' rescue.
 
Ooo, interesting - will give that a spin.

Is it part of an official release being touted or just something that's surfaced randomly?

Na it’s just come about randomly but experience tells me these things are usually at least semi intentional.

30 years of Definitely Maybe coming up next year. Who knows what is in the offing.
 
Love the rawness and innocence in Liams vocals (especially Slide Away), don’t get me wrong it really needed the magic that Owen Morris provided but what a great listen 30 years later.

I’m sure as usual they will be loads of negative comments but cheers for posting Atypical and you’re right these things never really happen by accident.
 
Regardless of anyone opinions. If you grew up in the 90's Definitely Maybe and What's the Story are absolutely brilliant albums that define an era for young people in those days. Oasis were never the best band lyrically, but it wasn't about that.

Give me Wonderwall, Some Might Say and Rock n Roll Star over the Radiohead every time.

Slide Away is in my top three Oasis songs along with Supersonic and Acquiese.

Yes I think this version of Slide Away is awesome.

First saw them in October 1993 when they finished their 6 song support set with I Am The Walrus and left the stage to a wall of feedback. I thought at the time they were doing Walrus as they didn't hav enough songs of their own

I was one of the 200,000 people who saw them play Middlesbrough Arena in April 94 as part of the joint headline tour with Whiteout. I dont think I missed a Friday at the Arena in about 6 years and so plenty of bands come and go. I remember talking to Graham Ramsay, who booked them, both before and after the gig, he was raving about them whereas I was adamant that Whiteout were the better band and Oasis weren't all that.

That's why my career as an A&R man never really took off, especially when you look at some of the other bands I was determined would be massive based on their Arena shows, such as Blubber, Jocasta, Bis, 3 Colours Red ......
