What extra/unreleased material is included on the 30th anniversary edition of Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’?

With the imminent expected news that Oasis are set to get back together with a series of UK headline shows in the pipeline, interest in the band is increasing on an exponential level.

“8am -27.08.2024″ was the loaded message posted late on Sunday night by both Liam and Noel Gallagher which suggests that details of what this proposed reunion involves will be revealed then. The ‘Oasis to reform’ bandwagon kicked off initially by the UK based Sunday Times claiming that, according to “industry experts”, the brothers “appear to have settled their differences and, if the truce holds, Oasis will reform to play a series of massive concerts in London and Heaton Park (Manchester) in 2025.”

Oasis are one of the most iconic names in recent popular music culture after they exploded on the music scene in England in the early 90s and went onto become a generation defining musical phenomenon.
