Album Notes THE MASTERPLAN is a collection of Oasis B-sides of UK singles and EPs.Oasis: Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Bonehead, Alan White.Additional personnel: Paul Weller.Includes liner notes by Paul Du Noyer.After proving their staying power with 1997's BE HERE NOW, Oasis culls together b-sides and tracks which were previously available only as imports in the US on THE MASTERPLAN. This aptly titled collection fleshes out the legend, going back to older b-sides like "Fade Away" and "(It's Good) To Be Free" and newer flip-sides like "Stay Young." Opening with explosive live favorite "Acquiesce," THE MASTERPLAN will satiate the rabid completist but, with tracks as powerful as the slow-building anthem "Half the World Away," it's also sure to convert any newcomers. The ambitious (though, truth be told, not surprising) live cover choice of "I Am The Walrus" rounds out this energetic, often unexpected chapter in the story of this modern pop phenomenon. | |||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 08/09/08 by: 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 Review ID: 10000000008643616 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 01/09/08 by: 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.

Report this review 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.

Report this review 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.
