Xela Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just to bring it into Musical Chat, from the song thread. 25 years ago to the date. @Genie @villa4europe @lapal_fan @NoelVilla @Brumstopdogs @sharkyvilla Genie: Quote I can’t imagine how they felt as this came out. The absolute pinnacle. I got 2 tracks into Liams latest album and had to turn it off. Absolutely horrendous, it’s slowly chipping away at what Oasis was. It was the peak! The build up and hype to the album was insane. Knebworth in '96 and this a year later. The beginning of end really. The classic Oasis line up. Was never the same afterwards with the newcomers. They may have been better musicians but peak Oasis was more about the band being greater than the sum of their parts. Plus Noel should never have allowed anyone else to write! I barely listen to Liam's and Noel's solo stuff anymore, but the first 3 albums (and the Masterplan) will always be special to me. Sharkyvilla: Quote It came out the day before my 12th birthday and was my first album so I'll always love it. The coke-fuelled gigs from that era are great too I was 18! I remember getting the 114 bus into town (mate) and going to the big 5 storey HMV in the Pavilions on High Street. I think the bottom floor was just Oasis. I love the album. Flawed but that doesn't bother me. I had it on in the car this morning full blast as I went to Lichfield. I'll admit it, I think Magic Pie is still a good song! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I remember going along to Our Price on the Monday thinking it was out and being gutted it wasn't, then being surprised my brother getting it for my birthday on the Friday. I never did know why they released it on a Thursday. Probably just because they could. Sold 696,000 copies by the Sunday and over 800k in its first 7 days. Also as Noel said, they broke the record for most CDs returned and refunded as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that cocaine wasn’t going to snort itself. I also think by the time of releasing a fourth single, there had a been a mood shift with the album and the band. He always had the habit of chucking away would be hit songs, but I think he possibly avoided a bit of a headache with that one, as I can’t imagine The Real People would have been too impressed with it being a Wonderwall sized hit and not being given any acknowledgment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Had a look, the Japanese single came with a live recording of C&A, sad song which had only previously been released as a bonus track on DM and the war child Help album recording of fade away Sad Song is another one, don't think it would have been as commercially successful as don't go away but to only have it as a bonus track on a vinyl release, didn't even make the masterplan, is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could have had another couple of albums out of them, but the whole b-side thing adds to their appeal from that era! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what have K-Klass done to James Barton to not be on at WordRemovedFields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Watching this 90’s ‘cool cymru’ thing on BBC 1. The Stuart Cable 1990’s Stereophonics were bloody good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
