A box set reissue of Oasis' classic album (What's The Story) Morning Glory will be available next Monday, Sept. 29.
In the meantime, the band's marketing department is in full effect, with the most recent gem being an original 1996 interview with Noel Gallagher. Check out Noel in all his stoned glory (via NME):
As Rolling Stone reported this summer, Liam wasn't happy about the reissue for the band's debut Definitely, Maybe. "HOW CAN YOU REMASTER SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY [BEEN] MASTERED," he tweeted. "DONT BUY INTO IT. LET IT BE."
Noel, on the other hand, was slightly more cheery about the idea. "I'm proud of everything that we ever did," he told RS. "I mean, some songs are pretty sh*t, and there's a couple of periods you'd rather forget, but I think on the whole... I think we made three great albums and four good ones, which is not bad out of eight. Kind of a 50 percent record. That's pretty good, I think."
The super deluxe box set version of What's The Story includes several interesting collectibles. Here's a list from the band's website:
- Collector's Coffee Table Book (56 pages)
- 7" Vinyl (demos of "Hello" and "She's Electric"
- 12" Vinyl (Replica of promotional 1995 12")
- Cassette (Replica of promotional copy)
- Roll With It Cigarette Papers (Original 1996 promotional item)
- 180 gram double 12" Vinyl in gatefold sleeve (Heavyweight of (What's The Story) Morning Glory)
- Deluxe 3 x CD Album (Deluxe CD remastered with B-sides)
- Postcards & Art Card Set (Three postcards and a 12" x 12" card)
Of course, there will also be three discs of music, too. You can check out the full listing here.
