Big Brother Recordings Ltd will release limited-edition collector’s formats to celebrate the silver anniversary of Oasis’ compilation album The Masterplan.

Twenty-five years since the original release, November 3 will see new formats made available including CD, cream cassette, and limited-edition double vinyl formats (heavyweight silver, green and black marble and black).

The new formats feature remastered audio, taken from the Chasing The Sun reissues - available for the first time as one collection. Pre-order here.

The Masterplan is a collection of B-sides originally featured on singles from Oasis’ first three albums, Definitely Maybe (1994), (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995), and Be Here Now (1997).

Watch the album trailer here.

The album includes “Half The World Away,” from the “Whatever” CD single, which later found fame as the theme tune to the comedy series “The Royle Family.” Guitarist/singer/songwriter Noel Gallagher has often described title track “The Masterplan” as one of the best he has ever written. It also includes “Talk Tonight,” a solo acoustic recording by Noel.

The Masterplan charted at No. 2 in the UK Official Album Chart UK selling more than 100,000 copies in its first week of release in 1998. It went on to be certified UK triple platinum and has sold over three million copies worldwide. Pre-order formats here.
