"Can you SEE it Now" is a perfect crescendo to the build up of a good idea ...in the head of a mastermind

I love who put the weight of the world on my shoulders. You can really hear the pain in Noels voice and lyrics on that one.

One of my favourites has always been “If We Shadows”, from Be Here Now’s deluxe. Only a demo with Noel on acoustic but it actually works. Very strange lyrics and clearly unfinished but the melody is so haunting that it’s stuck with me for years. I’d love to hear someone finally talk about it.

Just when I thought I'd heard every rare oasis track. You blow me away with yet another selection of absolute hidden gems

I'm a hardcore Oasis fan and I haven't heard of most of these. Thanks for highlighting these tracks!

Funnily enough, that "Get on with it" at the beginning of Talk Tonight (US Release) is the EXACT same recording as the one at the beginning of "The Masterplan." Thank you, to the #1 Oasis Nerd!

Wow, I had never heard of Who put the Weight.... this is even more crazier than the B sides saga! just releasing gold like that! Great video James

Thank you!! Great video

Great video and have a great gig!

The "Get on with it" is actually on the end of "Round Are Way" on the US single (it's the same for the UK version). It appears again at the beginning of "The Masterplan". I wonder if at some point "Round Are Way" and "The Masterplan" were ment to be joined together on the single but then they put "The Swamp Song" between them instead. I always found it weird that the "Get on with it" was used twice on the single that way.

I consider myself a pretty huge Oasis fan but these are new to me, this is one of your best Oasis videos. I feel like I'm rediscovering them.

Boy With The Blues (on Spotify on the NCIS soundtrack 2009) and I Believe In All from the Japanese version of Dig Out Your Soul (on KZfaq). Both great tunes. Think both were written by Liam.

Excellent recommendations!

Another great video bro, thank you

I’ll definitely be there to support your band. Proper love all your vids. Really appreciate them 👍

Smashing video.

This was great! I'd forgotten all about Carnation; I love that cover. As always, thanks!

Top class as always, James 👏

One of your best videos yet - we'll done 👍 worthwhile for that version of Rockin Chair alone

For the UNKLE Beachhead mix of Cast No Shadow, there exists a promo CD with the finished mix and the instrumental mix, and using phase cancellation between the two, you can isolate Noel's vocal track. So it is entirely possible to improve the sound of Noel's vocal track!

I think it's worth mentioning "Shoot Down" by Prodigy which features Liam's vocals on it.

Great video as always! Hoping for a video on mansun. One of them forgotten bands no one ever seems to talk about

I knew all of them, "Within You Without You" might be one the best covers ever

One of my favourite obscure Oasis songs is “Solve My Mystery”, which was later released by Noel as “Revolution Song”. It is essentially the same song but in my opinion the original was way better in terms of arrangement and Noel’s singing.

Hah. How funny that I got this video recommended to me on an Oasis song I had never heard before and was recently released on the official Oasis channel. Wasn't disappointed either as I indeed did not know any of the songs you listed! You have a very wholesome and soothing voice. Liked and faved!

Looking good clean-shaven, man!

Two more fun alternates to note: Where Did It All Go Wrong? (Semi-Acoustic Version) - Epic promo CD, not sure if it ever got a UK release. Alternate mix of the album version with a more stripped back approach. The Hindu Times (demo) - from the DVD single. Most of the demos are just demos but this is practically a different song. Much darker lyrics in a Gas Panic vein. "The ghost that is your soul, it leaves me cold, babe/'cause you get so high you just can't feel it/got no sunshine, just got rain". Drugs're bad, mkay?

You gotta love Oasis because they really honour so many great bands too. Bonehead once said its all the best bits of all the best bands rolled into one.

An interesting fact both Noel Gallagher and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer wrote approximately 50 songs before taking the rock world by storm. They both chose the path of the songwriter, which turned out well for them and their fans. Rivers was a shredder and metal head before. He has some serious chops to go with his songwriting expertise. Also I've observed that both fan groups nerd out over their b-sides, which at times are as good or better than their a-sides. As always good stuff. I'll be going down this rabbit hole in the description section.

Who Put The Weight.... has been one of my favourite Oasis songs ever since I first heard it about 17/18 odd years ago.

Who put the weight is soo good. Excellent video, thanks for this. I hadn't ever heard some of these. What a gift. Heres a prayer that these brothers can come together again. I dont care if oasis never get back together. I just want them to bury the axe.

James, have you ever did any digging into how/why Gem managed to get on vocals for the Heathen Chemistry Tour? I saw them a lot on that tour and always saw Gem with a mic and did some vocals, however the mix was always too low that i could never hear him. He never said anything into the mic and none of the bootlegs i have heard you cant even hear him. I am just wondering if there was any way of finding out how exactly it came about and why it also then ended on that only tour.

James ! THANK YOU for this amazing ultimate fan info! Shakermaker is one of myfavorite songs -for example- BUT you confirmed the -shall we say -INSPIRATION😂- for the melody❤❤❤

Still have the album (and GOAL album which is horrendous) and single re the Carnation single. It was a strange time as they were almost incognito. This appeared and I just had a feel that something wasn't right within the band, I don't know what. Just felt weird. I didn't realise the band as we knew them were never going to be seen again. And on a sidenote, the Carnation cd being that weird clear disc thing as a precursor to the SOTSOG's singles is geekily noteworthy 😂

Did I dream this but was there a song called the Cage as a hidden track at the end of an album.

"Trip Inside" from the Mustique Demos is an unknown instrumental masterpiece in my opinion

How about purple parallelogram? not sung by Noel but co written by him. That’s another good one, when he was writing great songs for fun.

I LOVEEE THE GOAL SOUNDTRACK

Aaaah Class list ... 2 there I didn't know of .... that Goal CD ....

I cannot believe as a life long oasis fan that I've never heard that Unkle remix of cast no shadow.

Cheers james i thought id heard them all but i stand mistaken So job done fella 👍 Im off to listen to them Geezer man

“Birth of an Accidental Hipster” the most rarest of them all

Hi James, great video. Could you do one for super rare oasis covers? Noel doing bitter sweet symphony is one of them for me 😊

My man dig up some gems up there

James you look WAAAAAAAY better with longer hair. Keep it growing mate.

I love that film Goal

Whoa! Clean shaven!

A few other ones come to mind. I really like this one Where Did It All Go Wrong? (Semi-Acoustic Version). The demos from the Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe The Truth DVD singles are also interesting.

nice brother, appreciate all you do. Also the no beard look is great. What are your thoughts about Suede?

I always ❤ that version of carnation festuring OCS and weller. It used to appear on mtv2 back in the day

There’s another song where Noel referenced All the Young Dudes: Don’t Look Back in Anger. During the refrain (so sally can wait…) there’s a guitar playing the notes of the melody “all the young dudes…” That’s specially audible in the SACD remix. There’s also some similarities in the chord progression of these two songs.

Great idea James. Your clearly an Oasis obsessive, any chance you could do more of these for other bands or singers? Im thinking for other Manchester bands of the era like Stone Roses and The Verve.

You could have also mentioned the instrumental hidden track at the end of Heathen Chemistry after a few minutes of silence after Better Man. A nice relaxing psychedelic tune, a bit Pink Floyd-y. And if you are considering non-Oasis releases, I would recomend checking out the Death in Vegas song Scorpio Rising, sung by Liam. I love that song. Some other ones I'd suggest checking out are the SOTSOG demos with Noel on vocals, particularly Go Let It Out and Who Feels Love. There's also a demo version of Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is, with Noel on vocals.

The 'Get on with it' at the start of Talk Tonight is the same as talking part at the start of The Masterplan

I got the fever from the stand by me single is a corker.

Noel did Merry Xmas Everybody for the Royle Family I believe, it’s on a Christmas Special.

3:24 The cast no shadow from the excellent “Sitting here in silence” gig is this version right? One of my favourite Noel performances.

I have all of these songs way back then. Shakermaker I was able to download through Napster

Great video as usual. However, surprised you didn’t notice that can y see it now is essentially. mucky fingers slowed down. You can pretty much sing the entire song over it.

In my opinion, the demo version of "Stop The Clocks" is the best thing. The only thing that I edit from this song is the outro. Instead of it, the repeating and fading out of the last word of Noel "sound". Like an echo. Follow by "Those Swollen Hand Blues" and "Who Put The Weight Of The World On My Shoulders". Cheers.

I’ve had Pass Me Down the Wine in my head for a couple days now. That is another great one from the great ones (Oasis). ATM, I forget if that’s a Liam or Andy song…think it’s Liam… 🤔

Who Put The Weight Of the World on my Shoulders was one of the early oasis tunes I knew

See The Sun is in my opinion one of the best Oasis songs ever. It's a crime it has never been properly recorded and released. I understand its vibe is quite "madchester" and didn't fit Definitely Maybe, but they should have put it out as a B-side like they did with Alive and Cloudburst.

All the young dudes over the outro was the in the live version- similar to shakermaker I think it was just removed to prevent having to pay out a fortune to the original writers

James, hope you can do a video discussing the rare Vox CD singles box set

one rare I had but can't find any more is into the night a slow acoustic tune (noel sung) wish he'd release it anyone else hurd or know a thing more about it?..what about strange thing.

I have only just realised I can see it now wasnt on the UK album. I got a pre release version of Don't Believe The Truth with I can see it now as the last track. I always thought it was supposed to be there. Didn't understand what you were on about in this video!😂

I want to hear a full early recording of All Around the World

I love the noel remix of Unkle the knock on effect with the led zeppelin sample 👍🏻

Heard all of them

They used to tag All The Young Dudes onto the end of Whatever live

The Quiet Ones is such a good one

Couple other things to point out from one Oasis nerd to another: The Japanese-only 2014 reissue bonus tracks are not exclusive to the 3CD edition - they're also on the Japanese 1CD edition. This holds true for all three Chasing The Sun reissues (which have the acoustic demos of Hello and All Around The World, plus the Saturday night Knebworth Wonderwall). Of course, they weren't as popular as the 3CD editions and are quite a bit harder to find. But if, like me, you already have the "normal" 3CD edition, and the Japanese 1CD edition is cheaper than the Japanese 3CD, you can save a bit of money. Can Y'See It Now? was also on a V/A comp called Brand Neu! in 2009. A much cheaper way to obtain the song! The American Wonderwall single has a different mix (possibly the Orinoco mix) of Wonderwall. It's the same alternate mix as on Stop The Clocks/Time Flies, except the channels are reversed. Talk Tonight is actually not a different mix; the difference in tone you're hearing is down to the mastering. It does of course use the original ending but I wouldn't call that an alternate mix, just an alternate edit. Ditto Rockin' Chair, which is the same mix but sounds quite different due to much darker EQ. Round Are Way and I Am The Walrus are the same mixes as the Creation singles, but the channels are swapped on I Am The Walrus for some silly reason. Also, all the songs except Rockin' Chair are less brickwalled than the Creation CDs - still quite loud and compressed, but with quite a bit more dynamic range than we're used to.

Bit random but does anyone know why the “don’t go away” single EP was only released in Japan and nowhere else?

The Cast No Shadow on GOAL kinda makes me think of a sort of a Cast No Shadow if made in the SOTSOG era, just the vibes are similar

I heard bits and pieces of a demo of One Way Road with an electric guitar in the intro, but I can't find the complete song anywhere. I think that would be interesting to find and hear.

Throwing “Boy with the Blues” in here. On spotify and a fantastic Liam-penned track.

It's like I got a new Oasis album!

I've always loved "I Can See it Now". The nearest Oasis ever got to krautrock!

Fade away on help cd is awesome

u ever heard Noel gallagher's/Oasis' version of Trouble by Cat Stevens? i can send it over, i for some reason have it saved here on my PC/storage of oasis b sides but can't find it online anywhere and want the world to know about it because it's simply beautiful and 1 of the best covers of Trouble

Isn't Can Y'See It Now? a hidden track on DBTT? I swear I have that song on CD somewhere.

Oasis have so many unknown fantastic songs and they shouldn't put into it early days B-sides. In my opinion Oasis is the best band ever about it and Noel is truly genius.

See you there

What I've always wanted to hear is Slide Away without fading out at the end.

Before the I am The Walrus Studio Version Got deleted off the web. I downloaded it and Liam sounds brilliant!

I can still hear the monitor mix of I Am The Walrus on my end. Must be a rare occurrence where the track got blocked in select countries.

See the Sun is a banger!

I remember hearing Merry Xmas Everybody on the radio at christmastime on Radio 1

Eyeball Tickler! Gem reminds the band on how to write punk rock

Not sure if you’ve mentioned it before James, but how about “boy with the blues” from the TV show NCIS. That’s a pretty obscure track

“All the Young Dudes” or “All The Young Blues” (as in Man City fans)? They did sing the latter in concert

I got on tape Noel doing a version of Hide your love away from a Gary Crowley session from 95 I think it was..The war child album version of dreams we had as children is cool...Live at Glastonbury 95 version of I'm the walrus is f***** awesome....

The Colour Of My Life, prob not many would of heard that

Does anyone remember Liam talking about a song he wrote as far back as 1996 called The Lost Chord? It never emerged but the year after he released that song he co-wrote with John Squire for the Seahorses. Noel also mentioned in 2001 a tune Revival that never surfaced and I think in those demos for Be Here Now there were two tunes called Everybody's A Winner and The Red, The White, The Blue which never got officially released.

A couple of very rare songs by Oasis (but not that great) are "Colour My Life", and the terrible "Life In Vein". I am not sure who wrote those songs. Both have Liam in the leading vocals

Some might say noel Gallagher in vox, drums, bass and guitar demo version is a favourite of mine

There is a song I found on limewiire decades ago called heathen chemistry in which Noel announces that his bell end smells of leather.. no shit. I cannot find it anywhere now

James, very important question, will you be going to Liam Gallaghers 30th anniversary of definitely maybe tour next year?

Great video again James, seems Noel was pretty friendly with James Lavelle, I'm sure he played bass somewhere on Psyence Fiction and Noels remix of Knock-on effect is brilliant.
