www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=news&idx=698Not so sure about their claim that the Cigarettes & Alcohol demo has "never been heard before", as there was a demo version released on an NME cover tape in February 1994 (available from my website by the way, plug, plug etc.). So, either that was a lie, they're releasing the same demo, or they're releasing an alternative demo version.

I have to say this is fucking pointless. Is just sticking it to the fans and completists. Why release an 11 year old B-side?? Especially one that has already been re-released before on a B-sides compilation album (complete with video to promote it on MTV etc)?
The band can moan about the record company forcing them into it and blah blah blah but Noel is entirely complicit in it and it's bollocks, frankly.
Unamused.

Why is the track list of this single a surprise to anyone? First of all Noel doesn’t like the idea of new material on best of’s. Secondly, he’d be an idiot to give away new songs on the very last sony album

Pointless, absolutely pointess. Personally I have several dozen live versions of Some Might Say, and a demo of Cigs and Alch, which comes nowhere near the original.
And I've always thought the charm of Acquiesce and The Masterplan was that they were B-Sides that very few non Oasis fans would've heard. And IMO The Masterplan sounds a tad dated. The whole Stop The Clocks thing is just a complete farce and could do the band more commercial harm than good in the end.

what makes it even more pointless is its got too many b-sides to quality for the uk singles chart and really promote the song....if they were going to do that it could have atleast been some decent material.

if it was in the singles it would get more airplay and a great tune would recognised more.
