Single / Album Release Dates Apr 2, 2005 8:17:24 GMT -5

Why do Oasis now release their albums so soon after the release of the first single?

I think Morning Glory was released quite a while after Some Might Say and Roll With It and closer to the third single Wonderwall. There was a build up to the album and it wasn't all given to us in the space of a couple of weeks.

If they released DBTT after the 2nd/3rd single most fans would buy all the singles and the Album. More sales, more interest and therefore more airplay.

A lot of fans don't bother buying the singles after they have got the album. Therefore the single sales are hit, they get less airplay, it seems as though there is less interest in the band and the casual fans don't bother buying the albums.

Am I missing something?

And single sales help the Album sales don't they?

I have benn thinking about if it's a sales strategy from Noel's side to make good B-sides. I mean it can't hurt right?
I just don't know of any band that makes b-sides like Oasis.

Post BHN are good too Let's all make belive, (You've got) the heart of a star, Gas panic demo (Jap single) My generation, Idler's dream.

gas panic (japanese version eh?) intriguing - but nto worth paying imported prices for methinks, oh well, guess I'll never know

as for the main point - yeah I see what the initial poster was saying - but on the other hand it could (in some people's minds) work the other way around - as in - you hear one song you like, but you don't like the next two singles, so you don't go and buy it later then anyway - whereas if it were out earlier you would, and the extra singles would just incite those who forgot about it -

as for two weeks prior to the album I think that's perfect timing - what I don't get is that lyla is going to start being played now - and the album doesn't come out for 2 months! that sounds like a really, really long time

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
