In a brand new 30 minute interview, NOEL GALLAGHER returns to Manchester’s legendary Sifters Records to tell the story of Oasis’ iconic debut album Definitely Maybe. The film is released as the album approaches its landmark 30th anniversary on August 29th, followed by the release of deluxe editions of Definitely Maybe including previously unheard and abandoned versions from the original recording session at Monnow Valley Studios and outtakes from the definitive album sessions at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall, both recently mixed by Noel for the first time.
Watch Oasis – Definitely Maybe: Noel Gallagher in Conversation With John Robb below……
A fascinating insight, Noel discusses the difficult recording processes that led to the finished article of Definitely Maybe – a seminal debut album that is now widely regarded as one of the greatest. The interview, filmed at Sifters Records, where Noel and Liam Gallagher bought their albums long before Oasis formed, was immortalised in their single, ‘Shakermaker’, with Noel revealing how he wrote the infamous lyric in an off-the-cuff moment directly outside the shop on the way to recording it. “It’s one of those moments you wish you could capture in a bottle.”
With candid tales and anecdotes, Noel reflects on the band’s rise to fame through to their appeal today – including the power of their songs live, from when Oasis first toured Definitely Maybe from Europe to Japan, to the reaction they still receive at concerts now. Of Oasis’ enduring legacy, Noel summarises “it was a band made by the people”.
In August of 1994, Definitely Maybe’s release marked a critical moment in British youth culture and gatecrashed the Official UK Album Charts at Number One, becoming the fastest selling debut album ever at the time. Sonically defining an attitude of an era, thirty years on it remains an unprecedented classic and is as relevant as ever with Oasis being one of the most universally loved and influential British rock ‘n’ roll bands.
Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary) Deluxe Edition formats are released this week (Friday). Available to pre-order now on Limited Edition Deluxe 4LP and Deluxe 2CD formats plus exclusive coloured vinyl formats, cassette and digitally with all formats including the 2014 remastered version of the album.
