Oasis announce 30th anniversary reissue of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

Oasis have announced details of deluxe formats of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? to celebrate the album landmark’s 30-year anniversary.

Standing out as one of the all-time era-defining great rock albums, Oasis’ second LP was first released on 2 October 1995 on Creation Records and propelled the band to worldwide success. Following just 14 months after their debut Definitely Maybe, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? was hugely successful and was awarded Best British Album at the 1996 BRIT Awards.

This special anniversary format follows last summer’s release of the 30th Anniversary Edition of Definitely Maybe and will feature new unplugged versions of Cast No Shadow, Morning Glory, Wonderwall, Acquiesce and Champagne Supernova.

The new unplugged versions were produced and mixed by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho from the original master recordings at Noel’s studio, Lone Star Sound, in London.

Listen to the new interpretation of Acquiesce below:

All Your Dreams Are Made

The deluxe album features new artwork shot by original sleeve designer Brian Cannon and new sleeve notes. Exclusive coloured vinyl formats will be available, including indie record store exclusive Cast No Shadow inspired Crystal Clear 3LP, HMV Morning Glory inspired blue marble 3LP, Amazon Exclusive Wonderwall inspired sepia marble 3LP, and official store exclusive Acquiesce inspired neon orange 3LP. All formats will include the 2014 remastered version of the album alongside the new bonus versions.

The announcement comes as Oasis commence the most sought-after tour on the planet this year with their Live 25 tour. Unprecedented demand for tickets further underlines the ever-growing appeal of their music, with fans from 158 different countries applying for tickets to the UK shows when they went on sale last summer.

The global tour commences at Cardiff Principality Stadium on Friday, before heading to Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin in the UK, and then continuing worldwide.
