Oasis’ 'Definitely Maybe' to be expanded for 30th Anniversary reissue in August

On August 30, new deluxe reissues are set to be released via Big Brother Recordings to mark the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ 1994 debut Definitely Maybe.

These include tracks from the discarded original recording session at Monnow Valley Studios, along with outtakes from the album recorded at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall, newly mixed for the first time by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho.

The album also includes an unreleased demo version of “Sad Song.” Originally released as a bonus track on the LP, this alternative version features Liam Gallagher’s vocals.

The package features new artwork by the original art designer Brian Cannon for Microdot and original sleeve photographer Michael Spencer Jones, plus new sleeve notes from Creation Records boss Alan McGee and journalist Hamish MacBain.

It is available to pre-order now on Limited-Edition Deluxe 4LP and Deluxe 2CD formats plus exclusive colored vinyl – “Up In The Sky” “Learning to fly” lyric inspired blue and white marble 2LP, and “Digsy's Dinner” “Strawberries and cream” lyric inspired pink and white marble 2LP. It will also be available on Limited-Edition blue cassette and digital formats. All formats include the 2014 remastered version of the album.

The original album has sold over 6 million copies globally and is the second official most streamed album of the 90s in the UK, beaten only by its successor (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.
