Hello! After a brief break (is 5 years considered brief?) I've rejoined the forum! Previously, I ran a site called Oasis Discography dedicated to all of the great Oasis artwork. That site has been dormant for years - but now it's back!....kind of. For the past month or so, we’ve been busy getting the backend up and running for the new and improved discography site. It’s officially ‘launched’ but only with Supersonic and the Columbia white label demo at the moment. You can check it out here. oasisdiscography.com. It’s a soft launch (at best) given the fact that there are only 2 releases up so far. This time around, we've tried to write up original content for each release (see Supersonic for an example.) However, w ith so much content to write we’re going to release these slowly over the next several months, if not years. Of course, as new releases are complete I plan to share with everyone here as well as our Facebook and Twitter page.
All of the artwork has also been reworked to get as close as we can to ‘pristine’ copies of the original Brian Cannon 12” artwork.
Long story short, we've got a lot of work ahead of us and we need help! So, if anyone would like to help tell the story of a classic Oasis single or album please feel free to contact me through the forum or by email at info@oasisdiscography.com My plan was to have a few more releases ready before posting this, but hey, why wait?. Getting the forum's input is invaluable, so any feedback is welcomed and if anyone have any desire to contribute to the writing, again, just let me know. As you can tell from Supersonic, we’re trying to put a lot of time into all of these and really generate some interesting original content. Thanks again and let me know what you think. |

Thanks everyone!
We're still playing with the layout of the entries - right now there is a 'test' image on the Supersonic. Ideally we could find images related to each single. Obviously, the more obscure/rare pics the better but anything related to the specific song would work.
Any idea where I should post looking for help on sourcing images?
Also, anything you guys see so far that you don't like or that we should change, add, delete, etc?

Yes, I've spoken with David from Oasis Recording Info - he's got a great site! Thanks everyone. We're working on finishing up Shakermaker now. Should be out soon. |

Not sure if this is the best place for this - or if it should be it's own topic but the new oasisinet.com is actually using a lot of our old scans and artwork! I know, how would I know it’s my artwork and one of the millions of copies floating around online - or even an original? Take a look at the artwork for D’You Know What I Mean? on inet (http://www.oasisinet.com/#!/music/album/dyou-know-mean). That’s one of our old scans. If you also look at the attached pictures of my copy you’ll notice the scratches in the foil logo between the ‘a’ and ’s’ and above the ’s’ are identical! Yep, a very small thing - but it was kinda cool to know that a copy of D’You Know What I Mean bought in Wichita, Kansas in 1997 would end up on the official website 17 years later! Although to be honest, you'd think they would be able to source those images from the originals! |
