Oasis Delivers Thrilling 'Morning Glory (Unplugged)' Ahead of 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
On Wednesday morning, September 24, Oasis dropped a thrilling, stripped-down version of their iconic title track "Morning Glory" from their 1995 sophomore album. The song, titled "Morning Glory (Unplugged)," is part of the upcoming 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" set to release on October 3.
The acoustic rendition was produced and mixed by Noel Gallagher and Callum Marinho from the original master recordings at Noel's London studio, Lone Star Sound. The track puts the focus directly on Liam Gallagher's urgent vocals until a mid-song guitar solo takes center stage.
"Moonage Daydream" producer and longtime Oasis collaborator, Mark "Spike" Stent, praised the new version: "Noel has done an incredible job in stripping back this classic song to its bare essentials. It's a testament to the timeless quality of 'Morning Glory' that it still sounds so vital and relevant today."
