The outtakes from the Monnow Valley and Sawmills Studios sessions offer a new insight into the process which led to the final version of the album, brimming with its raw attitude, energy and desire.  The band originally decamped to Monnow Valley on the Welsh borders to record the album, eventually abandoning what they perceived as overly technical and polished recordings which didn’t capture their essence.  Oasis then moved to Sawmills Studios in Cornwall for a re-recording eventually enlisting Owen Morris to complete the mixes of the now 8x Platinum album.

The Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) album is available to pre-order now on limited-edition deluxe 4LP and deluxe 2CD formats plus exclusive coloured vinyl – ‘Up In The Sky’ “Learning to fly” lyric inspired blue and white marble 2LP, and ‘Digsy’s Dinner’ “Strawberries and cream” lyric inspired pink and white marble 2LP. It will also be available on limited-edition blue cassette and digital formats. All formats include the 2014 remastered version of the album.
