THE MASTERPLAN (Creation)

Noel recently said in an interview, "don't buy 'The Masterplan', it's shit. We don't need the money and it sounds like Fat Les anyway." Strong words indeed, but even so, comments like this are unlikely to dissuade fans from adding this B-sides to their Oasis collection. Manchester's most famous guitarist has been a bit hard on himself anyway; this collection is by no means 'shit' and there's some classics on their that most indie bands would give their right arm for - "The Swamp Song", "Acquiesce", and "(It's Good) To Be Free", among others) - never mind stick on a collection of B-sides. Worth it if only to remind you of those pre-"Be Here Now" days.
