Album History
In 1994, Oasis were seen as a distant echo of the moribund 'Madchester' scene which had exploded in the early 1990s. Unlike other Madchester bands who indulged in experiments with funk, dance or hip-hop, Oasis presented themselves as a relatively straightforward rock and roll band. Along with bands like Blur and The Verve they seemed to encapsulate a new wave, one which did not yet have a name. By the end of the year the media coined the term Britpop, of which Definitely Maybe retrospectively became one of the pivotal albums.
Many of the songs had originally appeared on Oasis' Live Demonstration demo recorded in Liverpool the year before with Chris and Tony Griffiths of The Real People. The main recording sessions took longer than expected, with the bulk of the album having to be recorded three different times with Mark Coyle producing, before Owen Morris came up with a mix that everyone was satisfied with.
The album cost nearly £85,000 to produce, a huge amount of money for a debut album at the time.
The album title, according to Noel Gallagher, comes from a poster he saw in a pub, although he cannot remember what the poster was advertising.
Release and reception
The release of Definitely Maybe was preceded by a third single, "Live Forever", which was released on August 8th 1994. Live Forever was the group's first top ten single. The continuing success of Oasis partially allowed Creation to ride out a period of financial straits. The label was still £2 million in debt, so Tim Abbot was given only £60,000 to promote the upcoming album. Abbot tried to determine how best to use his small budget. "I'd go back to the Midlands every couple of weeks," Abbot said, "and people I knew would say, 'Oasis are great.
This is what we listen to.' And I'd be thinking, "Well, you lot don't buy singles. You don't read the NME. You don't read Q. How do we get to people like you?'." Abbot decided to place ads in publications that had never been approached by Creation before, such as football magazines, match programmes and UK dance music periodicals. Abbot's suspicions that Oasis would appeal to these non-traditional audiences were confirmed when the dance music magazine Mixmag, which usually ignored guitar-based music, gave Definitely Maybe a five-star review.
Definitely Maybe was finally released on August 29th 1994. The album sold 100,000 copies in its first four days. On September 4th the album debuted at number one on the British charts. It outsold the second-highest album The Three Tenors In Concert 1994, which had been favoured to be the chart-topper that week, by a factor of 50%. The first-week sales earned Definitely Maybe the record of the fastest-selling debut album in British history. Cigarettes & Alcohol was released as the fourth single from the album in October. Noel Gallagher said Slide Away was considered as a fifth single, but he ultimately refused, arguing, "You can't have five [singles] off a debut album.". However, Slide Away was later used as a b-side to the non-album single Whatever, along with Half The World Away and (It's Good) To Be Free.
Legacy
In 1997 Definitely Maybe was named the 14th greatest album of all time in a Music Of The Millennium poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 2005 Channel 4's '100 Greatest Albums' countdown placed the album at number six.
In 2006, NME placed the album third in a list of the greatest British albums ever, behind The Stone Roses and The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead. In a recent British poll, run by NME and the book of British Hit Singles and Albums, Definitely Maybe was voted the best album of all time with The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band finishing second and Revolver third.
Q magazine readers placed it at five on their greatest albums of all time list in 2006 and in that same year NME hailed it as the greatest album of all time.
In a 2008 poll by Q and HMV in 2008, Definitely Maybe was ranked first on a list of the greatest British album of all time.

This Feeling By The Sea - A New Festival Headlined By The Lathums And Red Rum Club
The rock ‘n’ roll club night, record label and tastemakers This Feeling and Bridlington Spa, the largest indoor venue on the Yorkshire coast are proud to announce details of their biggest festival event to date. This Feeling By The Sea will bring an enviable array of leading guitar bands and next wave talents to Bridlington Spa on August 18th and 19th, led by headliners The Lathums and Red Rum Club.
This Feeling’s George Holmes commented, “We're buzzing to be hosting a huge summer party at Bridlington Spa in the iconic 'Royal Hall'. Having played host to the likes of The Rolling Stones in the ‘60s to Oasis in the ‘00s, it's time for the next generation of rock ‘n’ roll stars to take the stage.”
Mark Lonsdale, General Manager, Bridlington Spa said, “We’re delighted to be partnering with This Feeling in bringing this new annual weekend festival to the venue and town. Bridlington Spa is the home of live music on the Yorkshire coast, and we’re excited to be able to provide a platform for new and emerging bands. Over the two days, you will be able to see 14 bands, performing to a potential capacity 3,800 crowd, this is one not to be missed!”
Friday night headliners Red Rum Club are the ideal band to close a seaside summer show, their sun-kissed indie-pop big on bright, exuberant melody and given a joyous mariachi-tinged twist courtesy of trumpeter Joe Corby - as heard on their critically acclaimed Top 40 album ‘How To Steal The World’.
This Feeling By The Sea’s Saturday night headliners are The Lathums, who cemented their status as one of the scene’s leading bands when their previous album ‘How Beautiful Life Can Be’ shot straight to #1. They’re now set to supercharge their continued rise with their brand new album ‘From Nothing To A Little Bit More’, which was released on Friday and has been previewed by the singles ‘Say My Name’, ‘Turmoil’ and ‘Struggle’.
Red Rum Club commented, “Buzzing to be playing the big room in Bridlington Spa this summer for This Feeling. A great group of people who got behind us in the early days. We know we will be sharing a stage with the next up and comers of the UK music scene.”
The Lathums added, “It’s a pleasure to be invited to play Bridlington Spa, we can’t wait to play some new tunes from the album. We'll see you soon for a little dance.”
The Friday line-up will also feature belting rock ‘n’ roll from The K’s; anthemic local heroes The Feens; two This Feeling Records bands, a fresh take on stories ‘80s and ‘90s influences from Rosellas and the Supergrass-meets-Buzzcocks rush of Spangled; and storytelling indie-rock from Komparrison.
The Saturday bill will then be completed by the infectious entertaining The Lottery Winners; dreamy psychedelia from CVC; This Feeling Records’ next wave talents Overpass (who recently played with Inhaler) and Rolla (fresh from hitting arenas with Kasabian); plus high energy indie-poppers The Lilacs.
Bridlington Spa will provide a beautiful, historic home for This Feeling By The Sea. The bands will be performing in the magnificent 3800 capacity Art Deco Royal Hall. Located just a few steps away from the beach, the venue is also perfectly positioned for fans who would like to make the festival part of a long weekend away. It’s also a fitting choice as a venue as it represents a leap forward for several of the festival’s artists. Red Rum Club, The K’s, The Feens, Spangled and The Lottery Winners are all stepping up to the significantly larger Royal Hall, having previously performed at Bridlington Spa’s 250 capacity new music room Sessions.
Tickets are on sale now and priced at £25 for Friday, £30 for Saturday, or £50 for the weekend.
More details here.
This Feeling By The Sea is the latest project from the new music champions, whose support has helped the likes of Blossoms, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Gerry Cinnamon, The Struts and The Lathums on their way to greatness. In addition to their record label and club nights, This Feeling have also curated stages at festivals including Isle of Wight, Truck and Y Not?, presented the Rewired Festival, and released several editions of their annual ‘Big In…’ vinyl compilation of the best new bands around.

Three stunning remixes from Pattern Recognition, the debut album proper (and UK album dance chart #1) from GLOK, the electronic alter ego of Andy Bell from shoegaze pioneers Ride. The remixes were completed by different artists at different times, but these kindred spirits have produced a trio of tracks that come together with a righteous symbiosis that Lord Sabre himself would have revelled in.
First up, Sean Johnston (A Love from Outer Space) and Duncan Gray (Tici Taci), in their Hardway Bros meets Monkton Uptown guise, deliver a monstrous dub version of That Time of Night. While the original was a luxurious electro groover, this remix will make speaker stacks crumble to dust with its immense bassline and seismic effects, while Shiarra’s intoned vocals seem to come at you from another dimension entirely.
Next up, Richard Sen returns to GLOK remixing duty, tasked once again with turning one of Andy’s sprawling 20-minute album openers (he did the job on Dissident last time out) into a relatively concise number perfect for the nation’s dancefloors and rave tents. Richard never disappoints and he repeats the trick by taking Dirty Hugs to the Krautrock-disco, setting some of Andy’s delicious guitar licks over a propulsive, hypnotic groove.
Last but by no means least Tom Sharkett, guitarist with Manchester synthpoppers WH Lung, has channeled the ALFOS chug into his throbbing re-version of album closer Invocation. Tom has recently been signed to Optimo Music and his remix would easily slot into one of Johnny and Keith’s epic, eclectic DJ sets.
