By 1997, Oasis were at the pinnacle of their success and had become omnipresent in British youth culture. The appetite for ‘Be Here Now’ was immense and it was amid this overheated anticipation that they made arguably the most eagerly awaited record since the heyday of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Strange how different experiences of sound quality users posting in this forum about this album have had listening to this version of the album. My experience is that it is certainly much better than the CD version I own.

Released at midnight on Thursday 21 st August 1997, at a time when most albums were released on Monday, ‘Be Here Now’ sold a staggering 400,000 copies on the first day in the UK, with 663,400 sales in just 3 days. It was No.1 in fifteen countries and remained at the top of the UK Album Chart for 4 weeks. To date, it has the most album sales in the first seven days of release in UK Official Chart history and has sold over 8 million copies globally. I get why people might not like this one. I've put on "All Around the World" on once at a party and was getting the looks asking "when will this end?" I, for once, love long songs. As a matter of fact, I've put together my own mixtape of the first half of Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Pleasuredome made up entirely of their 12" singles. I love long songs that let you get lost inside of them. Again, something entirely left to preference.
