Oasis, everyone’s favorite band of rich, unhappy Brits, will next reissue their 1997 album, Be Here Now. As part of their “Chasing The Sun: 1993-1997” series, which also saw the re-release of Definitely Maybe and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, the latest reissue will come fully stocked with B-sides, live recordings, and 14 previously unreleased demos originally recorded in the Carbbean. Noel Gallagher even provided a new remix of “D’You Know What I Mean?”. “As the years went by I’d started to accept that the songs on Be Here Now were in fact insanely long… too long,” he admits in a press release. “Someone (I can’t remember who) had the idea that we re-visit, re-edit the entire album for posterity’s sake. We got as far as the first track before we couldn’t be arsed anymore and gave up … it does sound fucking mega though!” The album will be available on CD, vinyl, a Special Edition CD, and a Super Deluxe Box Set that includes the CDs, vinyl, a coffee table book with new liner notes, a vinyl of those aforementioned demos, and some Oasis merchandise.
