Following an expansion of their debut album that kicked off a major catalogue expansion project, Britpop legends Oasis will continue their "Chasing the Sun" reissue series with an expansion of 1995's (What's The Story) Morning Glory? in September.
Morning Glory continued Oasis' run of U.K. critical and chart success as well as expanding their influence through the rest of the world. Singles "Some Might Say" and "Don't Look Back in Anger" were native No. 1s, while "Roll with It" and "Wonderwall" went to No. 2; "Wonderwall" was a Top 10 hit in America while "Champagne Supernova" hit the Top 20. Altogether the album sold somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 million copies worldwide, 4 million of those in the States (their biggest seller here).
As with the reissue of Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory will be available in several formats:
- The original album will be available on CD and LP, newly remastered by Ian Cooper at Metropolis Studios in London
- A three-disc edition features the album with a bonus disc of B-sides (many of which are found on 1998's The Masterplan) and another disc of 14 unreleased live tracks and demos
- A super deluxe box pairs the three CDs and LP with additional vinyl (replicas of the original "Some Might Say" 12" single, a replica 12" promo featuring a cover of Slade/Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel the Noize" and a remix of "Champagne Supernova," and demos of "Hello" and "She's Electric" on 7" and cassette, respectively) and a 56-page hardback book featuring liner notes by Neil McCormick

Again it's the vinyl & deluxe version mp3's for me.

As disappointing a reissue package as the first album. They are missing out a real opportunity to dig deep in the vaults where loads of great stuff lies. Pass.

Gotta have this one as this was the album that proved that Oasis was truly amazing in the states.
