Oasis, everyone’s favorite band of rich, unhappy Brits, will next reissue their 1997 album,Be Here Now.
As part of their “Chasing The Sun: 1993-1997” series, which also saw the re-release of Definitely Maybe and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, the latest reissue will come fully stocked with B-sides, live recordings, and 14 previously unreleased demos originally recorded in the Carbbean. Noel Gallagher even provided a new remix of “D’You Know What I Mean?”.
“As the years went by I’d started to accept that the songs on Be Here Now were in fact insanely long… too long,” he admits in a press release. “Someone (I can’t remember who) had the idea that we re-visit, re-edit the entire album for posterity’s sake. We got as far as the first track before we couldn’t be arsed anymore and gave up … it does sound fucking mega though!”
The album will be available on CD, vinyl, a Special Edition CD, and a Super Deluxe Box Set that includes the CDs, vinyl, a coffee table book with new liner notes, a vinyl of those aforementioned demos, and some Oasis merchandise. All of that will be out October 7th via Big Brother Records, honoring the 20th anniversary of the album’s first recording sessions.
