What is included in the album?
The album contains a number of iconic Oasis songs, such as Acquiesce, which was originally included on the Some Might Say CD single, and Half The World Away, which was taken from the Whatever CD single and later became famous as the theme song to the adored comedy series The Royle Family.
The album’s epic title track was also originally included on the Wonderwall CD single as the fourth bonus track.
Additionally, the album includes Talk Tonight, a legendary Noel Gallagher solo acoustic track, as well as Stay Young, Listen Up, Going Nowhere, Fade Away, and Rockin’ Chair.
Remastered audio from the Chasing The Sun reissues, which are now available as a single collection, will be featured on each new format.
