Yep, i think we all are. So much has happened over the last couple of days. I think they are providing us with little hints for whats to come as well. They are uploading more Knebworth videos onto youtube. They even uploaded Acquiesce from Budokan 1998. Its obviously from the master source and not the bootleg version we all have so something might be happening with that for the BHN remaster. Exciting times ahead for sure.
I don't seem to be able to keep track of all the things going on. It's kinda overwhelming! haha
me too - just came home and had to order the cassette and the 6cd-version, more to order soon

One of the most exciting days to be an Oasis fan.
An amazing DM boxset, the tape reproduction, the possibility to get Mustique in a few months!, the news that Noel is already recording strings for HFB#2 and that Brian Cannon will be part of it, the Half the world away demo, a really cool website and new videos uploaded with amazing quality!

Thanks for that list of things to be excited about! I was needing it!
To celebrate the twentieth year since the release of their debut album, Oasis will be re-releasing their first three studio albums over the course of 2014. All three albums have been meticulously remastered and will be released, in chronological order, with a carefully selected collection of rarities and additional tracks culled from Oasis label Big Brother Recordings and the band’s own archives.
‘Definitely Maybe’, the band’s debut album, will be released on the 19th May, with ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ to follow later in the year. Each album will be made available as a special edition 3 CD set, heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, and extremely limited deluxe box set (including both formats plus a 56 page hard back book, bonus 7” and exclusive memorabilia) as well as standard CD and digital formats.
regarding the demo cassettes:
It was a disused warehouse and there were different businesses in there. And The Real People had this ground floor rehearsal space, where you walked in and they had all their gear set up, and upstairs they had a telly. And we used to go there, play local band nights and hang out with The Stairs, The La’s, The Real People. They bought an eight track and I’m not sure they really knew how to use it properly, so we brought our mate Mark Coyle over one weekend. We put a few mics out and recorded maybe ten or fifteen songs. They were the songs on the original demo that we gave to Alan McGee. Great times. On the demo of Columbia there’s a snippet of Tony Benn talking. We were just flicking through the radio recording it, and he was on. If anyone produced it, it was Mark Coyle. He put out the mics and was twiddling the knobs. The Real People were drinking beer, punching the air and going “this is great!” – Noel Gallagher, 2014
To celebrate the reissue of Definitely Maybe we are now taking orders for a strictly limited edition run of replicas of the famous ‘Union Jack’ cassette of the first demo recordings made by the band. Featuring the original running order, all 8 songs on the cassette have been re-mastered and the cassette includes sleeve notes from original producer Mark Coyle.
£10 postage seems a bit steep, anyone know where the stuff is shipped from?
