Tony McCarroll On Recording Oasis' Definitely Maybe And More

No comments

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.”

Written by Tim Abbot, the MD at their label Creation, this explosive new edition takes you behind the scenes of Oasis at their most raw, most chaotic, and most iconic.

OasisDefinitely is Tim Abbot’s personal trip through the history of Oasis from his very first meeting with the band at the rundown offices of Creation Records to their huge worldwide tours and international fame. 

Packed with Never-Before-Seen Content

Inside the book you’ll find:

Rare, unreleased photos from Tim Abbot’s personal archive.
Unfiltered stories from the road, the studio, and backstage.
First-hand insights into Liam and Noel’s creative (and chaotic) dynamic.

Why This Book Matters

Oasis didn’t just change music—they defined a generation.

In the 1990s, Britain was searching for a voice—and it found it in Liam Gallagher’s snarl, Noel’s songwriting, and the no-holds-barred swagger of a band that never knew when to stop. But behind the headlines, behind the stadiums and the fights and the fame, there was a band of working-class lads with something to prove—and Tim standing in the middle of it all, capturing everything.

This is his story. Their story. Your story, if you were ever part of the ride.

OasisDefinitely lands on bookshelves August 1st you can pre-order it and some exclusive prints from oasisdefinitely.com.
