Tony McCarroll On Recording Oasis' Definitely Maybe And More

Tony McCarroll reflects on his memories of the 'lost' record ahead of the huge reunion tour.

A few quotes from the interview can be found below, read the full interview here.

On the time between the legendary May 1993 King Tuts gig where Oasis were discovered to recording the first take of Definitely Maybe was a long one with a lot of uncertainty.

“Most of us were still somewhat living our normal lives with work and so on,though we’d bagged a record deal there was a lot of toing and froing to agree to the record contract. Probably the longest few months of my life. It still hadn’t been signed and anything could’ve gone wrong. But we hoped for the best that one day we’d put pen to paper and finally get a record released. What we'd always dreamed of.”

 On the first Oasis recording session at Monnow Valley for 'Definitely Maybe'.

“It was a bit of a jolly up at first. Boys on holiday. Away from home and loving life. You soon learned that a studio can sometimes be a pressure cooker. You’ve got a job to do and must get on with it. Luckily, the drums were out of the way quite fast.”
