An exhibition of rare photographs, artifacts and memorabilia of Oasis' early years will open in London next month to mark the 20th anniversary of the band's debut single 'Supersonic'.
Titled Chasing the Sun: Oasis 1993–1997, the exhibition will open at the the Londonewcastle Project Space in Shoreditch, London on April 11 and will run until April 22. It will be the first exhibition dedicated to the band. Entry is free.
Documenting many of the band's now legendary gigs, from Knebworth to Glastonbury to London's 100 Club, as well as the creation of their albums 'Definitely Maybe', '(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?' and 'Be Here Now', the exhibition will feature previously unseen images from photographer (and the exhibition's curator) Lawrence Watson, as well as Jill Furminovsky, Paul Slattery, Tom Sheehan, Kevin Cummins and Jamie Fry.
Also on display will be some of the instruments played on the band's early albums which have been loaned by band members themselves, as well as merchandise, artefacts from the album sleeves and rare video footage.
The exhibition is taking place to mark the reissue of the band's 1994 debut album 'Definitely Maybe'. A remastered version of the Manchester band's LP will be released on May 19 and will include rare and unreleased recordings. The reissue is the first in the new Chasing The Sun series from Big Brother Recordings, with Oasis' follow-up albums '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' and 'Be Here Now' to follow later this year.
The 20th anniversary 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-inch 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 debut single 'Supersonic' as a 12-inch vinyl to coincide with this year's Record Store Day on April 19.
That's an article about Aziz Ibrahim's 50th birthday party this week, with Bonehead among others in attendance. (Sounds like a great party!) I think it's interesting what he says about being nominated to do the PR for the DM rerelease. I was wondering why it is always him. Makes sense, though, if Noel and Liam are either busy and/or - in Liam's case? - not interested. Good for Bonehead anyways, as he can get a bit of attention for himself and maybe his own projects.

As per the official Oasis FB page. There is more info on the London opening times & there are plans to tour this exhibition & they will keep fans posted!
Goto the FB page & join the "event" to be kept up to date with info. I would think UK cities only whe/if announced.
This month's Q magazine has a couple of pages of info about the exhibition from Bonehead. It looks like it is going to be pretty special.
Bonehead is interviewed briefly about a few of the items. Including a photo of what was going to be the original cover for supersonic. The 3 Brit Awards they won in 1996 and the white suit jacket worn by Noel in the AATW video.
This is going to be an Oasis fan's mecca. A treasure trove of history, unseen pictures and memorabilia!
