The iconic 1994 album will be re-released as new limited edition album formats, featuring previously unheard Monnow Valley versions and outtakes from Sawmills Studios.
Oasis are set to release a new, deluxe, limited edition version of their debut album Definitely Maybe to mark it's 30th anniversary.
