Limited Super Deluxe Edition 180g Double LP, 3CD,
Cassette, 7", 12", Plus Memorabilia Box Set!
Remastered from Original Tapes!
Includes the Hits "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova!"
This Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set contains b-sides, early demos and
soundcheck recordings from the Oasis archives.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is the second studio album by the English rock
band Oasis, released on October 2, 1995 on Creation Records. It was produced by
Owen Morris and the group's guitarist Noel Gallagher. The structure and
arrangement style of the album were a significant departure from the group's
previous record Definitely Maybe. Noel Gallagher's compositions were more
focused in balladry and placed more emphasis on "huge" choruses, with the string
arrangements and more varied instrumentation on the record contrasting with the
rawness of the group's debut album.
The record propelled Oasis from being a crossover indie act to a worldwide rock
phenomenon, and according to various critics, was a significant record in the
timeline of British indie music. The band's most commercially successful
release, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? sold a record-breaking 347,000 copies
in its first week on sale, spent 10 weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart,
and reached number four in the US Billboard 200. Singles from the album were
successful in Britain, America and Australia: "Some Might Say" and "Don't Look
Back in Anger" reached number one in the UK; "Champagne Supernova" and
"Wonderwall" reached number one on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart; and
"Wonderwall" topped the Australian and New Zealand singles charts.
In the ensuing years, critical consensus toward the album generally turned, and
it is now considered by many to be a seminal record of the Britpop era. The band
did an extensive world tour in support of the album over several months in 1995
and 1996. The most notable of the band's concerts were two performances at
Knebworth House in August to a combined crowd of 250,000 people. The album was
honored as the Best British Album at the 1996 Brit Awards. It has sold
approximately 22 million copies worldwide. It won the award for the best British
Album of the last 30 Years at the 2010 Brit Awards, and appears on several lists
as one of the greatest albums of all time.
