Oasis have released the ‘Live Forever’ version from the abandoned Marrow Valley Studio sessions ahead of the 30th anniversary release of the ‘Definitely Maybe’ album.
The limited edition deluxe ‘Definitely Maybe’ 30th Anniversary release includes the 2014 remastered album plus the previously unreleased and discarded original recording session from Monnow Valley along with outtakes from Sawmills Studios plus a demo of Sad Song featuring Liam’s vocal – all recently mixed for this release by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho.
The Monnow Valley and Sawmills Studios recordings were noticeably absent from the 20th anniversary edition of ‘Definitely Maybe’. Oasis booked the Monnow Valley Studio in Rockfield in late 1983 to record the album with Noel Gallagher’s friend Dave Batchelor producing. That didn’t work out so they went to Sawmill Studios in Cornwall to re-record the tracks in January 1994 with Noel producing alongside Mark Coyle. That also did not work as planned so Owen Morris was recruited to produce and that became the final album.
‘Definitely Maybe’ 30th anniversary edition will be released today 30 August 2024. The original album was released 29 August 1994.
