1996 Oasis - (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? Jan 12 2008 by Jade Wright THIS was the album that catapulted Oasis from being a successful Britpop band to international megastardom. Their second album shot straight to the top of the charts, selling 347,000 copies in its first week. Recorded in less than two weeks, it contains arguably the band’s two most famous songs, Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger, along with Champagne Supernova and their first UK number one single, Some Might Say. Another track, Step Out, had to be removed from the album at the last minute. The song, sung by Noel Gallagher, was intended to have been the original track 8 (after Some Might Say and before Cast No Shadow), but was removed because the chorus was similar to that of Stevie Wonder’s 1965 track Uptight (Everything’s Alright). The band played several massive open air concerts in the UK during 1996, which included two nights at Knebworth in front of a combined audience of 250,000 people. Over 2.5 million people had applied to buy tickets. Noel reflected that it wouldn’t be possible to top this. “For a six-week period building up to that gig we were the biggest band in the world,” he said “We were bigger than, dare I say it, f***ing God.” On the album cover a man is seen brandishing what looks to be a record in its sleeve. This is in fact the master tape for the album. The man in question is Owen Morris, the producer. The photo was taken on Berwick Street in Soho, a London. The other man is BBC London’s Sean Rowley. Selling over 19 million copies, Morning Glory was named fifth greatest album of all time in the Music of the Millennium poll and was ranked eighth in Q’s 100 Greatest British Albums.
