The Masterplan

VINYL FORMAT. A compilation of B-sides from Oasis' early work. Collects all the good stuff that audiences might have missed during the band's initial rise to fame.

"Critics and fans alike claimed that the best of these B-sides were as strong as the best moments on the albums, and they were right. None of the albums had a song that rocked as hard as 'Fade Away' (cleverly built on a stolen melody from Wham!'s 'Freedom'), 'Headshrinker,' or 'Acquiesce.' There was nothing as charming as the lite psychedelic pastiche 'Underneath the Sky' or the Bacharach tribute 'Going Nowhere'; there was nothing as affecting as Noel Gallagher's acoustic plea 'Talk Tonight' or the minor-key, McCartney-esque 'Rockin' Chair,' nothing as epic as 'The Masterplan.'" - All Music Guide
