For American audiences, the phenomenal worldwide success of Oasis was a little puzzling. That's because they only had part of the picture - unless they were hardcore fans, they didn't hear nearly three albums of material released on B-sides and non-LP singles. 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\u003ci\u003e Fade Away\u003c\/i\u003e (cleverly built on a stolen melody from Wham!'s \u003ci\u003eFreedom\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eHeadshrinker\u003c\/i\u003e, or \u003ci\u003eAcquiesce\u003c\/i\u003e. There was nothing as charming as the lite psychedelic pastiche \u003ci\u003eUnderneath the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e or the Bacharach tribute \u003ci\u003eGoing Nowhere\u003c\/i\u003e; there was nothing as affecting as Noel Gallagher's acoustic plea \u003ci\u003eTalk Tonight\u003c\/i\u003e or the minor-key, McCartney-esque \u003ci\u003eRockin' Chair\u003c\/i\u003e, nothing as epic as \u003ci\u003eThe Masterplan\u003c\/i\u003e. Most bands wouldn't throw songs of this caliber away on B-sides, but Noel Gallagher followed the example of his heroes the Jam and the Smiths, who released singles where the B-sides rivalled the A-sides. This meant many American fans missed these songs, so to remedy this situation, Oasis released the B-sides compilation \u003ci\u003eThe Masterplan\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Brother","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39751889584222,"sku":"","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/9763\/5678\/products\/download-2022-07-28T154945.900.jpg?v=1659019876","url":"https:\/\/offthebeatentracks.co.uk\/products\/oasis-the-masterplan-new-2lp","provider":"Off The Beaten Tracks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
