Oasis (2) – Definitely Maybe

This is a beautiful clean pressing. The sound is solid and clear as played on my Linn Sondek LP12 and there is no background noise.

people weren't kidding about this: the detail on this absolutely smashes every CD and digital version I've heard. Don't have a modern pressing to compare it to, but given the reviews, I doubt any of them top this.

It’s well known that these 2014 “remasters” dont at all represent the album. Any OG or the 2009 press truly represent and showcase the power of this album. This remaster isn’t necessarily as bad as the morning glory or be here now remasters, but it just isn’t as full of life or power that the OG and 2009’s are. Having said that, those are very expensive atm.

But we are only here for the 2 bonus discs. These are AWESOME! Although I wish they included the overdubs on disc 4, but the obvious focus for this disc is Liam’s vocals. this is so cool. This is essential for serious fans of oasis or this album. And they sound fantastic. Hopefully we get a similar treatment this year with morning glory.

Definitely disappointed in the lack of thought with this box set, this should’ve included a gatefold of the original album. All that is included is the 4 discs, the box set and flip out and 4 inner sleeves included with the four discs. The box set and flip out is very flimsy. If you read this and think I’m just a complainer you can wank off somewhere else because I got this for like $90 USD, that’s a lot of money DUDE!

Having said that If you are looking to learn the lead guitar parts, disc 4 is perfect for a karaoke practice track that because there is no lead guitar. This is super cool all around.
F for discs 1&2, but A+ for discs 3&4.

Loved this when it was released in 1994. Got it on vinyl - which drew derision and goading from my mates who all ditched their vinyl collections and bought only CDs. I have the Damont pressing which was the only version if you bought it ‘94 or early ‘95 anyway. However, I find some of the raving commentary about its great sound quality a bit surprising. At the time, anybody with a half decent hifi system and a ing interest in what was good production and sound quality, knew and moaned that the production wasn’t great and many tracks suffered from harsh and quite thin texture. Particularly Rock and Roll Star was almost grating to the ears compared to other better engineered and pressed recordings on vinyl. Just compare it to some other releases of the early ‘90s. Anyway, still a great album and proof that abandoning vinyl would leave me gloating to my mates 30 years later, some of them forking out for new turntables and discs now!

Anybody any comments on the sound of these? Thanks a lot

Compared this against my original CD and found the vinyl to have smiley face eq with not much difference in dynamics. Kinda preferred the CD.
