Oasis have announced a limited-edition vinyl reissue of ‘Some Might Say’ to mark the track’s 30th anniversary. Find all the details below.

The classic single was released on April 24, 1995 as the first preview of the Britpop band’s second album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’, and earned them their first UK Number One.

It came with two of Oasis’ best and most notable B-sides – ‘Talk Tonight’ and ‘Acquiesce’ – along with ‘Headshrinker’. These three cuts all subsequently appeared on the group’s 1998 compilation album ‘The Masterplan’.

Oasis are set to release a limited-edition collector’s pearl-coloured, numbered 7″ vinyl of ‘Some Might Say’ on Friday April 25. Per a description, the record will “celebrate the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ seminal” first single from ‘…Morning Glory’.

It’ll boast remastered versions of ‘Some Might Say’ and ‘Talk Tonight’ on the A-side and B-side, respectively. Check out the preview image in the post below, and pre-order your copy here.

‘Some Might Say’ was the last Oasis recording to feature drummer Tony McCarroll. For the band’s second performance of the single on Top Of The Pops, Alan White replaced McCarroll behind the kit.

Noel Gallagher has called the track “the archetypal Oasis song”, saying that it “defines what Oasis is”. Read NME‘s ’18 things you might not know about Oasis’ ‘Some Might Say’’ blog here for more.
