Not sure if im posting this in the correct section but... TIME FLIES… 1994–2009 - 14th June 2010’ 1 April 2010 “Oasis will become the premier gilt-edged rock ‘n’ rollers of the age; they will irreversibly change the way you walk and talk, the way you dress… the future’s assured. The past is gone. This is now. Listen. That’s the story.” (NME 1995) “I consider Noel to be the finest songwriter of his generation.” (George Martin) ‘Time Flies’ is the complete singles collection celebrating the work of Oasis from start to finish. Released on 14th June through Big Brother Recordings, the songs that comprise this album span fifteen glorious years walked tall alongside a staggering seven consecutive number one albums. 1994’s ‘Definitely Maybe’, 1995’s ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’, 1997’s ‘Be Here Now’, 2000’s ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’, 2002’s ‘Heathen Chemistry’, 2005’s ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’ and their last from 2008, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’. Starting with their irresistible debut, ‘Supersonic’ and finishing with their very last release, ‘Falling Down’, the album features all 26 singles - 23 Top Tens including 8 No.1's. A deluxe version of ‘Time Flies’ features all 36 videos ever made (all previously unreleased) including versions made for the UK and America, as well as the last ever recorded Oasis live show from The Roundhouse in London on the 21st July 2009. April 1994 it begins. Effortlessly, the classic singles, ‘Supersonic’ and ‘Shakermaker’ provided a tangible feeling that something was happening; then came ‘Live Forever’, where we saw a young Liam Gallagher nailed to a chair in that bizarre video and somehow the notion that one of ours could again excite, incite and not to mention, sell millions of records was very real. They virtually reignited an ailing industry and revitalised the global music scene. They did this by becoming “the most complete pop group on the planet”. They knew it too; as Noel Gallagher, the band’s principal songwriter, simply explained, “We’re not arrogant, we just believe we’re the greatest band in the World.” His younger brother who went on to become one of the ‘greatest frontmen of all time’, once remarked, “There’s Elvis and me. I couldn’t say which of the two is best.” Oasis owned attitude, and noise and confusion often followed. Early on, Noel said, “All I know is that the gigs are selling out and we’re probably gonna get in loads more trouble on this tour…” It was this kind of self belief and ambition that flung the world open to Oasis. From their landmark 'arrival' performance at T in the Park in 1994 to the now legendary gigs at Maine Road, a weekend of history-making at Knebworth, world famous venues that included sell out shows at Madison Square Gardens and the Hollywood Bowl, and stadiums from Wembley to River Plate, Argentina and beyond, as well as just about every single festival here and abroad, Oasis rapidly grew but never lost their high cool. How many bands manage that - and why? Undoubtedly, millions identified, aspired, shared the dream of the boys from Burnage making very, very good. Their outspokenness and the very real relationship of Noel and Liam kept us enthralled and amused. At times, it provided real drama, but nevertheless the humanity shone through more often than not. So what is there left to say about the greatest rock 'n' roll band of our time? These could be the best days of our lives. And they were. And they still are. Oasis entertained on every level. At every concert tens of thousands united to sing along to, be moved by, be energised by and reminisce with this incredible set list - a definitive chronicle of a generation, national anthems, a series of musical lunar landings. Remember whose eyes you were looking into when you first heard ‘Wonderwall’? Who had their arm around you during ‘Don't Look Back In Anger’? Who did you steal a glance from during ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’? Mosh with to 'Lyla'? Who did you want to ‘Live Forever’ with? And why did it all work so well, for so long, all around the world, for so many people? For a time, they did change the way we walked, we talked, the way we dressed. For Oasis it was always so simple. Liam Gallagher comments, “I’m totally proud of everything we’ve done… I liked the crazy times and the not so crazy, I liked it all, man.” And Noel Gallagher sums it up by saying, “The fact that we kept it together for so long is testament to our love of the music. It’s from the heart.” TIMES FLIES… 1994 - 2009 Supersonic Roll With It Live Forever Wonderwall Stop Crying Your Heart Out Cigarettes & Alcohol Songbird Don’t Look Back In Anger The Hindu Times Stand By Me Lord Don’t Slow Me Down Shakermaker All Around The World Some Might Say The Importance of Being Idle D’You Know What I Mean? Lyla Let There Be Love Go Let It Out Who Feels Love? Little By Little The Shock Of The Lightning She Is Love Whatever I’m Outta Time Falling Down Keep checking back to Oasisinet for all the latest info on 'Time Flies'. www.oasisinet.com/NewsArticle.aspx?n=801

We all know that a singles collection is coming, but is it an April Fool's joke? I mean, that track list order is horrid and is it TIMES FLIES or TIME FLIES?
Either way, I want that Roundhouse show! I'll buy it.

This collection just shows how bad Noel was at picking singles to release.

Probably an April Fool's joke. However, they would never joke about a singles release (imagine all the complaints if it's false), so I think they'll announce a proper singles collection later this week (WITH a decent track list and maybe a gig where Liam DID sing the entire setlist)
edit: I checked the Oasisinet Archive and they never made an April Fool's joke before, so, who knows...

It is weird that they would announce this on April Fool's Day, but I'm pretty sure this is no joke. I've never known Oasisinet to joke around on April Fool's Day before so I doubt they would start now. It's also not like companies to announce completely plausible products on April first, because the point is to be funny, and stuff like that isn't. Now if they were to say something like Liam's new band was going to be a hip-hop/rap album with all of Liam's vocals being put through autotune, then that would be something.
Although looking at that track list makes me hope that at least that part is an April Fool's joke.

Either way if this is a joke or not, Liam did say that there's a singles collection being released in the summer. If this is it, or not remains to be seen. Either way, I'm buying it for my collection..

Lots of videos would be missing, CS, SMC, Whatever, etc... anyhow, i wanted a dvd of a recent gig, but i wanted it to be from one of the stadium concerts, maybe Slane or Heaton Park or something, maybe even from Saturday Night @ V-Fest. The Roundhouse again! ? oh wel.... probably will end up buying it regardless.

Agreed though, was hoping for a DVD of the summer 2009 (stadium) tour.

Last year on April 1st, the NME stated Kasabian would perform 'God Save The Queen' at Wembley Stadium, before an England football match. I see this as another cheap joke. Mind you. Oasis are robbing bastards.

What puzzles me the most is the fact that Sunday Morning Call ain't on the "official" tracklist. Why would they make a great song like that into a hidden track. Now I ain't got anything against She's Love, but if they absolutely have to make a track a hidden track, that's the one they should use.

Do you guys think the Roundhouse gig will be released as DVD as well as CD or just as one of them?
