There's this supposed version of Some Might Say floating around youtube and the poster claims it is the version of Some Might Say that was recorded during the Whatever recording session in 1994 at Maison Rouge Studios but I am having my doubts as to its legitimacy. Now this was discussed here by Oasis Recording Info in an interview with Owen Morris, but unfortunately, the link for the demo is dead which makes the article confusing. The question posted by the interviwer relates to the Whatever recording session in 94 and Owen says that 'yes the demo in question was recorded at that session' however, he also says the demo is the version that was included on the import (I'm assuming Japanese) CD which directly contradicts the intervew Fran Healy did with Noel on absolute radio, linked here, where a different version of Some Might Say that Noel claims was recorded using the Verve's equipment and entirely by himself. This is also the version that is actually found on the import CD. Noel doesn't even make a mention of this other version of Some Might Say from 1994. What exactly is going on here? Is the Maison Rouge Studios version legit? To me, it sounds like a drunken karaoke cover of Noel with a delivery that is too choked off to be real but I'm willing to be corrected. The "Maison Rouge Studios" version The Japanese Import CD Also, I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this has been discussed adequately elsewhere. |

Am I missing something here?
To me the two you tube videos sound like the same version.
The official demo released on the Japanese single seems to have some lead guitar parts added to it and it has been mixed or produced.

So are you saying there are actually two Japanese import CDs that were issued or is there some other niche CD you purchased? I’d love to know more about this. I’m very surprised at this because the structure of the song is very different after the first chorus and there is no second verse sung over the accompanying chords in the version in question. If it is the same base version, there’s a lot more going on than just overdubs, sections are also cut. The vocal take therefore, is also different. |

It is... weird. I would say if this is Noel, it's another vocal take. Does not sound like an earlier version of the Japanese version, an unpolished first take, or maybe another guide vocal. If I had to bet, i'd say this is Noel, but Noel in the morning not really knowing how to sing his new song. The end of the song where he sings "You know what Some might say" are clearly Noel. Always thought the "demo" version released on the Japanese CD was actually an alternate version that Noel wanted to release. What's funny is that the Noel version sounds way more like the rest of the record than the "proper" version. (edit: apparently confirmed by discography experts  ) |

I remember we bought a storage with some oasis items that contains this and the Gem demos. Its not from a japanese single its taken from a recording from a tape that contains a jam, instrumental version from Listen Up and this raw demo take from Some Might Say. As you said it has some elements from the verdion we all know but its more in early stages. |

I appreciate the knowledge. I'm actually thankful this is legit because it really showcases how much Noel came on as a singer and how the song developed as time went on, from the 1994 version to the japanese demo to the final release. The japanese version is my personal favourite.
