Oasis Re-issue 'Definitely Maybe' For 20th Anniversary


Despite fevered speculation that Oasis may have been announcing a reunion this morning, the news when it came, was that they are to re-issue the classic 1994 debut album 'Definitely Maybe' to mark its 20th anniversary.

The remastered version will be released on May 19 and will also include rare and unreleased recordings. The reissue is the first in the new Chasing The Sun series from Big Brother Recordings, with Oasis's follow-up albums 'What's The Story (Morning Glory)?' and 'Be Here Now' to also be re-issued later this year.

This new  20th edition of 'Definitely Maybe' will be available as a standard CD and digital download of the original album, a three-disc Special Edition version including the rare recordings and demos, a 12" vinyl LP featuring all the bonus CD content as a free download, and a Deluxe Box Set which features the LP and the CDs. It has also been revealed that the band will re-issue their
single 'Supersonic' as a 12" vinyl to coincide with this year's Record Store Day on April 19.
