Oasis to reissue first three albums
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the release of Oasis’ landmark debut album, Definitely Maybe, the Britpop icons have announced plans to reissue their first three albums: Definitely Maybe, 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory, and 1997’s Be Here Now. The band will also release a 12-inch of Definitely Maybe‘s first single, “Supersonic,” for Record Store Day.
The deluxe Definitely Maybe reissue will be released May 20 via Big Brother Recordings. It will include b-sides, demos, live versions and previously unheard recordings.
