Track:Cigarettes & Alcohol (Demo)
Oasis release their Best Of album Stop The Clocks next Monday (Nov 20th) and in advance of that they've released an EP with 4 tracks, one of which is billed as an unreleased version of the single Cigarettes & Alcohol that was supposedly unearthed during the mastering of the album. Whilst this sounds very exciting, I'm unfortunately a bit of an anorak when it comes to early Oasis, so know that this isn't actually the case.In 1994 (I'm not exactly sure when) the NME gave away a free tape which included this demo version of Cigarettes & Alcohol. I think it was before they had even released their debut single (Supersonic) and so it was like the Holy Grail to me - a track by the band that I had a pretty good feeling I would love, that I could listen to whenever I wanted.It's a lot slower than the version recorded for Cigarettes & Alcohol, and has some (just discernible) bongos going on in the background. There's no real point to this post, other than to prove that I am obsessive about music, and therefore very much belong on MOG!I think that the EP is only out in the UK - I just got my gatefold 7" copy from the Oasis store this morning.
