Be Here Now 25th Anniversary

Product Information

the concept of “my people” feels a tad strained, while the fine line between “right now” and “some time in the next month or so” crumbles into dust. It’s not clear why this is ever a controversial question, given how rock bands suck at not rocking; nobody ever suggests a baseball team should send nine dudes out there to play croquet (though the Red Sox should consider it). was produced by Owen Morris and Noel Gallagher and recorded at Abbey Road, Ridge Farm, Air, Master Rock and Orinoco Studios between November 1996 and April 1997.

As he told the Guardian in 2000, “I must have wasted years sitting there with the curtains closed talking about bullshit—aliens, pyramids, debating ‘did they really land on the moon, let’s watch the footage again in slow motion’ or ‘crop circles’ — what’s that all about? He’s not kidding— Be Here Now is the album you would play for a Martian who just landed in your yard and asked what cocaine is. While making Be Here Now, Noel bought a fancy London mansion that he dubbed “Supernova Heights,” with the name emblazoned in stained glass. It’s a statement that could only have been made in this time and place, by this band, with this quantity of toxic chemicals. They’ll play all three guitar solos, ‘course they will, because it’s got my name on it and I rule the fucking world!Helicopters hover loudly in the mix, ready to do an emergency rescue mission to save the lads in case all their genius rockness causes rioting in the streets. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. While history hasn’t been kind to the album, from a critical point of view, Be Here Now was certainly a commercial Colossus.

Top up your Oasis CD collection with this new rerelease of 'Be Here Now', the band's third and "most colossal" sounding LP, in the words of one Noel Gallagher. Be Here Now (which got reissued for the 25th anniversary) stands as a monument to the days when rock stars could release an old-school mess like this in the purest confidence that people would stampede over each other for the chance to scoop it up at full retail.
