very good condition. and quick delivery good service and great seller. The masterplan is one of my treasured favourites and i am slowly but surely adding more and more to my oasis collection. thank you
A distillation of the four greatest British groups of the last 20 years (the Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Jesus And Mary Chain and The Stone Roses), Oasis were always so much more than the clumsy revisionists their critics tried to paint them as. It's no great insight to say that these B-sides were frequently equal to, or better than, the single they were meant to be supporting, it's just amazing how often: 'Aquiesce', 'Half The World Away', 'Stay Young', 'Fade Away'... the list just goes on.
I think Oasis were one of the greatest bands around during the early to mid 90,s and this album of the B-sides proves the standard of song writing these guys have, to bring out a no1 album of b-sides is second to none, A great album well worth having.
I hadn't thought much of singles and B-sides until I discovered Oasis. But the quality of them is sometimes even better than the album tunes. Tunes like 'Acquiesce', 'Talk Tonight', 'Fade Away', 'Stay Young', or 'The Masterplan' have become live classics and Oasis fans love them equally as the hits from 'Definitely Maybe' or 'Morning Glory'. My favourite ones, 'Listen Up' and 'The Masterplan', give me indescribable feelings every time I listen to them. This compilation of the best Oasis B-sides could have easily been a regular album and it could be one of the best.
Most of my favorite gems lie in the B-sides from the singles that oasis released.. This is really Noels Masterplan at work, I could listen to this every day word by word and great to sing along to.. B-side are usually a just a stuffing to fill the CD often sounding rushed or remixes, Each Track created with as much passion as the rest of em' Manchesters finest- Oasis.. If you love Oasis and do not own all the singles THIS IS A MUST!!
Most of the tunes on this ablum should have been singles ( i mean they are that good they had number 1 written all over them) the album is excellent i mean what band do you know that could make a world class album just out of the b sides?? my only problem with the album is that non ever got released in their own right which is a real shame because unless your a true fan or not bought this album you may never have heard them and some show just how good oasis are, however i think the fact none got released is what makes this album that bit special
I have always adored Oasis, but have never had the money to purchase all of the albums. I owned most, but not all, and when I seen The Masterplan here on eBAY, I just HAD to have it.
The album itself contains all of the B-Sides that should have been made singles themselves, Acquiese, Talk Tonight...
It also contains the epic I Am The Walrus, a cover of The Beatles great track, only faster, louder and more rock 'n' roll.
Although it doesn't have "D'yer Wanna Be A Spaceman" on, (Which, in my opinion is the ALL TIME GREATEST B SIDE) it is compensated by Stay Young which is equally as good.
Another one to watch out for is 'Half The World Away' which later became the theme tune to the BBC's comedy series, The Royle Family.
All in all, a GREAT CD for ANY Oasis fan. Definately worth purchasing.
