Nel 2014 Definitely Maybe compie vent'anni. Per celebrare l'evento è appena stato inaugurato il nuovo sito degli Oasis (che non esistono più: Noel è solista, Liam ha fondato i Beady Eye). Nei prossimi mesi verranno ripubblicati i primi tre album del gruppo, a partire proprio da Definitely Maybe (c'è anche un Super Deluxe Boxset da 100 sterline, il tutto in vendita dal 19 maggio). Ma la vera chicca - in vendita a 10 sterline in edizione limitata - è il demo in cassetta realizzato dalla band nel 1993; dentro ci sono otto pezzi: Cloudburst, Columbia, D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?, Strange Thing (lato A) / Bring It On Down, Married With Children,
Fade Away,
Rock ‘n’ Roll Star (lato B).
Definitely Maybe was originally released in August 1994 and was an immediate critical and commercial success. The fastest selling debut album ever (at the time), it went seven-times platinum in the UK (over 2 million copies), and sold 5 million worldwide. Containing the classic debut single Supersonic, released April 1994, and subsequent singles Shakermaker, Live Forever, and Cigarettes & Alcohol. The album was remastered in 2014 by Ian Cooper at Metropolis Mastering, London.
Your chance to own a replica of the original cassette distributed by the band before they were signed. This cassette is being manufactured to order and is a strictly limited edition. The cassette features remastered versions of the original recordings and includes exclusive sleeve notes written by Definitely Maybe’s producer Mark Coyle. This cassette is available for a limited period only. The cassette is a pre-order that will ship from the 7th April 2014.
Due to the exclusive nature of this cassette, customers will be limited to a maximum of 2 copies each.
Sul nuovo sito ci sono anche molte chicche da nostalgici del Brit Pop. Lo spot televisivo di Definitely Maybe, ad esempio. O la storia dei loro concerti più celebri, partendo - ovviamente - da Knebworth Park (qui tutto il concerto).
