Oasis: Definitely Maybe (30th Anniversary Edition) review: Oasis masterpiece gets a supersonic reboot, writes ADRIAN THRILLS


What had been shaping up as a big week became a truly momentous one on Tuesday morning with the confirmation that Liam and Noel Gallagher were reuniting for of stadium shows next summer.

The Manchester group — an era-defining force in the Britpop boom of the 1990s — split after a backstage row between the Gallaghers in 2009, and the pair have since spent an inordinate amount of time publicly slating one another while pursuing successful solo careers. Oasis, back in their prime, played with a style and panache that elevated them above their peers — and today's deluxe reissue of Definitely Maybe is a timely reminder of that singalong swagger: 30 years on, it remains their masterpiece. Its 12 songs fly by in 36 minutes, taking in new wave guitar-pop (Taste), slinky R&B (Bed Chem), acoustic folk (Slim Pickins) and American soft-rock (Juno).
