Oasis "Be Here Now" Big Brother RKIDLP85C New and Sealed 2 × Silver Metallic Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition Remastered 25th Anniversary Reissue, housed in a gate-fold sleeve and released on August 18th 2022. The LP is new, sealed and unplayed, so is in mint condition.
"Be Here Now" is Oasis' third studio album, first released on 21 August 1997 by Creation Records. The album was recorded at multiple recording studios in London, including Abbey Road Studios, as well as Ridge Farm Studio in Surrey. Although most tracks retain the anthemic quality of previous releases, the songs on "Be Here Now" are longer and contain many guitar overdubs. Noel Gallagher said this was done to make the album sound as "colossal" as possible. The album cover features a shot of the band members at Stocks House in Hertfordshire. It is the last Oasis studio album to feature founding members guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan as the two left in 1999.
Following the worldwide success of their first two albums, "Definitely Maybe" in 1994 and "9What's the Story) Morning Glory?" in 1995, the album was highly anticipated. Oasis' management company, Ignition, were aware of the dangers of overexposure, and before release sought to control media access to the album. The campaign included limiting pre-release radio airplay and forcing journalists to sign gag orders. The tactics alienated the press and many industry personnel connected with the band and fuelled large-scale speculation and publicity within the British music scene.
Preceded by the lead single "D'You Know What I Mean?", "Be Here Now" was an instant commercial success, becoming the fastest-selling album in British chart history and topping the albums chart in 15 countries. It was the biggest selling album of 1997 in the UK, with 1.47 million units sold that year.
