"Oasis: Fade In-Out, possibly recorded in June 1996 in Mustique in the Caribbean, released on the album Be Here Now, on Aug. 21, 1997

"The first part of 'Fade In/Fade Out' was recorded in a little fucking shack on the beach. We were drunk one night [in the Caribbean], and I borrowed his slide guitar and tried to play this solo, and it was absolutely dreadful. So he sat down and played it and got it in one take. He's actually a really good guitar player." - Noel Gallagher on Johnny Depp.

A year after joining Oasis on the Help project, Johnny and Kate Moss were hanging out with them in Mustique. An excerpt from an item in the December 1996 Select explains the setup there:

Have you ever found yourself in archetypal rock 'n' roll situation and laughed out loud?
"Tell you what, I went away to Mustique to write the album. Johnny Depp and Kate Moss turned up because Meg's known Kate for years. Now they were staying in Mick Jagger's house. This is really fuckin' surreal, right? Meg and Kate are on the back getting fuckin' pissed as arseholes, Johnny's in this little adjoining room writing a script for this film, I'm sat in Mick Jagger's fuckin front room with an acoustic guitar writing a song for the new album, looking around at all these original Andy Warhol paintings, going, Fucking hell..."
(See The Oasis Masterplan Archive for the whole article). It is believed that the 1996 photo of Johnny, Kate, Noel and Meg shown in the Gallery is from this trip.

The album mentioned was Be Here Now, which was released in August of 1997, and the album contains slide guitar work done by Johnny during the Mustique trip. Here is an article that may have been from Q magazine, in which Noel Gallagher talks about the songs on Be Here Now, including Fade In-Out"

"Oasis: Fade Away recorded Sept. 3, 1995, released on Help: A Charity Project for the Children Of Bosnia (Warchild Charities) on Oct. 17, 1995.

"Conceived as a charity for orphans of the Bosnian war, every song on Help was recorded on one day and released a week later. The rapid turnaround was inspired by John Lennon's belief that "records should be like newspapers," a theory he brought to life with "Instant Karma," a single recorded on a Monday and released the following Saturday. Eighteen artists were recruited to record their contribution on Sunday, September 3, 1995, with each song running no longer than three minutes and 45 seconds. The day commenced with Noel Gallagher recording a slow, reflective version of "Fade Away" with Johnny Depp on guitar. It ended with Gallagher joining Paul Weller and Paul McCartney for a take on the Beatles' "Come Together," bringing together three generations of British pop royalty. In between those two contributions came 18 other songs -- two more than expected, since Sinead O'Connor and the K Foundation (formerly the KLF) turned in tracks unannounced at the last minute. Given the rapid nature of the project, it isn't surprising that some songs on Help are slightly below par. What is surprising is how many songs are very good, even bordering on excellent. Radiohead's "Lucky" equals the best on their fine 1995 album, The Bends (it would later be a highlight on OK Computer), The Boo Radleys turn in a first-rate track and Suede's cover of Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding" is moving. Blur, appearing under their original name Seymour, contribute a kitschy instrumentals, which will probably baffle anyone but dedicated fans. "Come Together" doesn't quite live up to expectations, yet it's charming, much like Help itself. It may have its faults, but it is one of the best, most consistent charity albums ever recorded." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide"
