Oasis’ classic third album ‘Be Here Now’, originally released on 21st August 1997.
‘Be Here Now’ was produced by Owen Morris and Noel Gallagher and recorded at Abbey Road, Ridge Farm, Air, Master Rock and Orinoco Studios between November 1996 and April 1997. Originally mastered by Mike Marsh at The Exchange; the album was then remastered in 2016 by Ian Cooper at Metropolis Studios.
As well as ‘D’You Know What I Mean?’, the band’s 3rd No. 1 single, the album features the ambitious 9-minute ‘All Around The World’ plus evergreen classic ‘Stand By Me’. The epic elements of ‘Be Here Now’ are contrasted by the heartfelt introspection of ‘Don’t Go Away’ and the surreal psychedelia of ‘Magic Pie’.
‘Be Here Now’ stands as a unique album in the Oasis catalogue with its unrepentant excess and supersize swagger. 25 years on, it enjoys legendary status as the sound of a generation-defining band at their absolute peak.
This remastered version makes this classic record sound even MORE legendary!
Like every album in the reissue series, 'Be Here Now' will be released as a deluxe edition with three CDs and special bonus content, some of which has never been released, in addition to the standard CD and LP versions. This includes, in addition to the album, a CD with various demos and live versions, as well as another CD with a total of 14 Mustique demos. Noel Gallagher had written part of the songs for 'Be Here Now' in 1996 on the Caribbean island.
