OASIS - DEFINITELY MAYBE 2LP (Gatefold LP Jacket, Remastered)

Remastered edition of Oasis' classic debut album. 'In 20 years' time, people will buy DEFINITELY MAYBE and listen to it for what it was. That's what is important.' Noel Gallagher, August 1994. Remarkably confident words from a guitarist on the eve of his band's debut album release. But Oasis were always certain in their abilities - and the public were just as clear the five-piece were on the right track. Let's get the statistics out of the way. On it's release in August 1994, DEFINITELY MAYBE sold a record-breaking 86,000 copies in it's first week, the highest first-week sales for a debut album in Britain. It has since gone on to sell 5 million around the world. Over the course of their eight albums until disbanding in 2009, Oasis sold over 70 million albums. More importantly, the songs sound as fresh and relevant today as they did 20 years ago. A hunger to escape will always sound vital, especially if it's sung as mesmerically as Liam Gallagher and written with the urgency of Liam's older brother Noel.

RMFN Notes:

"Definitely Maybe is one of my favorite albums ever made for so many reasons. The biggest reason of all is how the album was mixed & produced sonically. People who only know Oasis for their ballads like Wonderwall & Don't Look Back In Anger will be blown away by how loud & clear Definitely Maybe is, specifically the guitars. Noel & Bonehead create a wall of sound with their riffs that was unheard of when they crashed into the scene. Definitely Maybe only has 1 acoustic song and is an incredible rock & roll album that has stood the test of time for 30+ years now. I can not recommend this album enough for rockers & metalheads alike; the riffage on this album will blow you away." - Chris
