Oasis - The Masterplan (CD 1998)

I have always adored Oasis, but have never had the money to purchase all of the albums. I owned most, but not all, and when I seen The Masterplan here on eBAY, I just HAD to have it.

The album itself contains all of the B-Sides that should have been made singles themselves, Acquiese, Talk Tonight...

It also contains the epic I Am The Walrus, a cover of The Beatles great track, only faster, louder and more rock 'n' roll.

Although it doesn't have "D'yer Wanna Be A Spaceman" on, (Which, in my opinion is the ALL TIME GREATEST B SIDE) it is compensated by Stay Young which is equally as good.

Another one to watch out for is 'Half The World Away' which later became the theme tune to the BBC's comedy series, The Royle Family.

All in all, a GREAT CD for ANY Oasis fan. Definately worth purchasing.

Most of the tunes on this ablum should have been singles ( i mean they are that good they had number 1 written all over them) the album is excellent i mean what band do you know that could make a world class album just out of the b sides?? my only problem with the album is that non ever got released in their own right which is a real shame because unless your a true fan or not bought this album you may never have heard them and some show just how good oasis are, however i think the fact none got released is what makes this album that bit special

B-sides !! - most bands would struggle to get 1 decent albums as good as this one. The album rocks all the way through, it's surprising that this is 10 years old , the songs grace any collection - the older they get the more they become classics

I bought this album for one song only, Masterplan. I heard it on Stop The Clock and fell head over heels in love with it. Now, what I wasn't expecting was the tracks that I haven't heard to be as good, but they are. I especially like 'Going nowhere' which is typical Oasis work, and now one of my favourites and most played. I you are an Oasis fan and haven't got this, why not? Thats what I asked myself when I heard it, 'why haven't I bought this earlier?' An added bonus for me being a huge Beatles fan was the inclusion of 'I Am The Walrus', and this version is no worse than the fab fours. Five stars from me.

i love oasis so i really wanted to get this cd,it arrived in couple days i wanted to buy it on ebay cause u get things lots cheaper thanx carlxx

CD with Oasis B-sides - fantastic collection, better than some of their leading titles. One word BRILLIANT!!!!

Maybe he heard Oasis's versions of "I am the walrus" - the fab live on through Oasis without doubt imo!
But spose that's their Masterplan!

very good condition.

The masterplan is one of my treasured favourites and i am slowly but surely adding more and more to my oasis collection. thank you

A distillation of the four greatest British groups of the last 20 years (the Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Jesus And Mary Chain and The Stone Roses), Oasis were always so much more than the clumsy revisionists their critics tried to paint them as. It's no great insight to say that these B-sides were frequently equal to, or better than, the single they were meant to be supporting, it's just amazing how often: 'Aquiesce', 'Half The World Away', 'Stay Young', 'Fade Away'... the list just goes on.

I think Oasis were one of the greatest bands around during the early to mid 90,s and this album of the B-sides proves the standard of song writing these guys have, to bring out a no1 album of b-sides is second to none, A great album well worth having.

I hadn't thought much of singles and B-sides until I discovered Oasis. But the quality of them is sometimes even better than the album tunes. Tunes like 'Acquiesce', 'Talk Tonight', 'Fade Away', 'Stay Young', or 'The Masterplan' have become live classics and Oasis fans love them equally as the hits from 'Definitely Maybe' or 'Morning Glory'. My favourite ones, 'Listen Up' and 'The Masterplan', give me indescribable feelings every time I listen to them. This compilation of the best Oasis B-sides could have easily been a regular album and it could be one of the best.
