Every Oasis B-Side Released, From “Supersonic” to “Falling Down”

Oasis did not merely contribute to Britpop. For a few reckless, hugely productive years, they set its pace. The A-sides made them unavoidable. The B-sides made the catalogue feel bottomless.

At the peak of Oasis mania, the Gallagher brothers supplied the headlines, the fights, the swagger and the absurd scale. Behind that circus, Noel Gallagher was writing at a rate that few major rock songwriters have ever matched. Some of the strongest songs in the Oasis catalogue were never placed on the albums at all. They were tucked behind CD singles, seven-inch releases, international editions and limited packages.

The good oil on the Oasis catalogue is that there is enough material here for another version of The Masterplan. The best of these tracks are not mere curios. They are foundational Oasis songs: “Acquiesce,” “Talk Tonight,” “Listen Up,” “Half The World Away,” “Rockin’ Chair,” “Stay Young,” “Going Nowhere,” “Let’s All Make Believe” and, above all, “The Masterplan.”

For listeners willing to follow the less obvious routes, the street of dreams runs far beyond the seven Oasis studio albums. The CD single era gave the band room to release acoustic songs, hard rockers, oddball demos, covers, live tracks and fully finished songs that would have strengthened almost any record in their discography.

The central point: Oasis B-sides were rarely filler during the 1994 to 1998 period. They were the overflow from an extraordinary writing run. “Some Might Say” alone came with “Talk Tonight,” “Acquiesce” and “Headshrinker,” a release strong enough to make most bands’ greatest-hits collections look thin.

Essential acoustic side

“Talk Tonight,” “Half The World Away,” “Rockin’ Chair,” “Going Nowhere” and “Idler’s Dream” show how much emotional weight Oasis could generate when the noise dropped away.

```

Essential loud side

“Listen Up,” “Acquiesce,” “Headshrinker,” “Stay Young,” “Flashbax” and “Let’s All Make Believe” carry the same scale and confidence as the biggest A-sides.

The defining deep cut

“Rockin’ Chair” is one of Noel Gallagher’s most vulnerable songs. “The Masterplan” is the grander statement, but “Rockin’ Chair” may be the more human one.

Commercial Oasis Singles and Their B-Sides

This archive follows the main commercial single run, while also noting international releases, digital-era singles and special packages that form part of the wider B-side story.

```

Year	Single	A-Side	B-Sides / Extra Tracks	Why It Matters
1994	Supersonic	Supersonic	Take Me Away; I Will Believe (Live); Columbia (Demo)	The debut single already arrived with a fully developed second layer. “Take Me Away” gives the release a softer, more reflective side, while the live and demo tracks make Oasis sound like a band with more material than they could contain in one release.
1994	Shakermaker	Shakermaker	D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?; Alive (8 Track Demo); Bring It On Down (Live)	One of the earliest signs that Oasis viewed the B-side as its own creative arena. “D’Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?” remains one of Noel’s most charming early songs, a memory piece disguised as a singalong.
1994	Live Forever	Live Forever	Up In The Sky (Acoustic); Cloudburst; Supersonic (Live)	“Cloudburst” alone makes this a vital release. The acoustic version of “Up In The Sky” also shows how quickly Oasis learned to recast their own material without losing its identity.
1994	Cigarettes & Alcohol	Cigarettes & Alcohol	I Am The Walrus (Live); Listen Up; Fade Away	One of the most loaded singles of the first era. “Listen Up” and “Fade Away” are major songs in their own right, while “I Am The Walrus” captured the band’s Beatles obsession in gloriously public fashion.
1994	Whatever	Whatever	(It’s Good) To Be Free; Half The World Away; Slide Away	A stand-alone event single that plays like a miniature Oasis compilation. “Half The World Away” became a permanent fan favourite, and “Slide Away” gives the release enormous emotional weight.
1995	Some Might Say	Some Might Say	Talk Tonight; Acquiesce; Headshrinker	This is the release that explains the Oasis B-side legend. “Talk Tonight” is intimate and bruised, “Acquiesce” is one of the band’s defining brotherhood songs, and “Headshrinker” is pure live-wire aggression.
1995	Roll With It	Roll With It	It’s Better People; Rockin’ Chair; Live Forever (Live)	The Blur chart battle obscured how strong this package was. “Rockin’ Chair” gives it real melancholy, with Liam singing one of Noel’s loveliest and most exposed melodies.
1995	Morning Glory	Morning Glory	It’s Better People; Rockin’ Chair; Live Forever (Live at Glastonbury ’95)	An overseas commercial single which largely reuses the “Roll With It” companion material. It is more an international extension of the Morning Glory campaign than a wholly separate B-side package.
1995	Wonderwall	Wonderwall	Round Are Way; The Swamp Song; The Masterplan	An absurdly generous release. “The Masterplan” became the ultimate example of Noel Gallagher placing a masterpiece behind a global hit. It later grew into one of the band’s greatest songs, period.
1996	Don’t Look Back In Anger	Don’t Look Back In Anger	Step Out; Underneath The Sky; Cum On Feel The Noize	“Step Out” and “Underneath The Sky” give this release serious force. The Slade cover also makes the band’s glam-rock DNA impossible to miss.
1996	Champagne Supernova	Champagne Supernova	Slide Away	An Australia and New Zealand commercial single rather than a standard UK release. The package is lean, but “Slide Away” is powerful enough to make the pairing feel complete.
1997	D’You Know What I Mean?	D’You Know What I Mean?	Stay Young; Angel Child (Demo); Heroes	“Stay Young” is the prize. Fast, huge and immediate, it is often ranked above several tracks that made it onto Be Here Now.
1997	Stand By Me	Stand By Me	(I Got) The Fever; My Sister Lover; Going Nowhere	Another astonishing B-side haul. “Going Nowhere” is fragile and quietly devastating, while “(I Got) The Fever” and “My Sister Lover” show how broad the Be Here Now overflow really was.
1998	All Around The World	All Around The World	The Fame; Flashbax; Street Fighting Man	The B-sides are more interesting than the album single’s notorious excess. “Flashbax” is particularly dreamy and strange, while the Stones cover takes Oasis back to one of their core influences.
1998	Don’t Go Away	Don’t Go Away	Cigarettes & Alcohol (Live); Sad Song; Fade Away (Warchild Version)	A Japanese commercial single that works as a reflective archive package. The mix of live material, old favourites and the War Child version of “Fade Away” gives it a retrospective texture.
2000	Go Let It Out	Go Let It Out	Let’s All Make Believe; (As Long As They’ve Got) Cigarettes In Hell	The first Big Brother release and one of the strongest later B-side packages. “Let’s All Make Believe” is widely regarded as one of the best Oasis songs of the post-1990s era.
2000	Who Feels Love?	Who Feels Love?	One Way Road; Helter Skelter	A slimmer release than the old days, but “One Way Road” gives it bruised atmosphere. The Beatles cover again shows how Oasis used their influences as part of the release identity.
2000	Sunday Morning Call	Sunday Morning Call	Carry Us All; Full On	A more inward Noel-led package. The mood is weary and reflective, far removed from the all-conquering confidence of the Morning Glory years.
2002	The Hindu Times	The Hindu Times	Just Getting Older; Idler’s Dream	“Idler’s Dream” is the standout, a fragile and unusual Oasis recording that has almost no direct equivalent elsewhere in the catalogue.
2002	Stop Crying Your Heart Out	Stop Crying Your Heart Out	Thank You For The Good Times; Shout It Out Loud	The B-side stockpile had thinned, yet there is still real value here. “Shout It Out Loud” has long had a reputation as a later-period song deserving more attention.
2002	Little By Little / She Is Love	Little By Little / She Is Love	My Generation (Live)	Oasis’s only double A-side. The old three-song B-side avalanche had disappeared, but the Who cover keeps the group’s classic-rock lineage present.
2003	Songbird	Songbird	(You’ve Got) The Heart Of A Star; Columbia (Live)	Liam’s first Oasis single as a songwriter. “The Heart Of A Star” is one of the most quietly respected songs from the later years.
2005	Lyla	Lyla	Eyeball Tickler; Won’t Let You Down	A direct, energetic return-to-form single. The B-sides lack the near-mythic reputation of the 1990s material, but still make the release feel substantial.
2005	The Importance Of Being Idle	The Importance Of Being Idle	Pass Me Down The Wine; The Quiet Ones	This is a later Oasis package with a much wider writing spread. Liam and Gem both contribute, showing how the band’s internal balance had changed by 2005.
2005	Let There Be Love	Let There Be Love	Sittin’ Here In Silence (On My Own); Rock ‘n’ Roll Star (Live)	A reflective late-era release. The studio B-side looks inward, while the live version of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” reaches back to the beginning.
2006	Stop The Clocks EP	Acquiesce	Cigarettes & Alcohol (Demo); Some Might Say (Live); The Masterplan	Not a standard single, but too central to the B-side story to ignore. It acts as a compact celebration of the material that transformed the group’s peripheral catalogue into sacred text for fans.
2007	Lord Don’t Slow Me Down	Lord Don’t Slow Me Down	The Meaning Of Soul (Live); Don’t Look Back In Anger (Live)	A digital-only release which reflects the changing market. Oasis still built a package around the song, but live tracks had begun replacing fresh studio B-sides.
2008	The Shock Of The Lightning	The Shock Of The Lightning	Falling Down (The Chemical Brothers Remix)	By the end of the 2000s, the traditional B-side had largely given way to remix culture. This is historically useful even though it lacks the thrill of finding a hidden Noel classic on track two.
2008	I’m Outta Time	I’m Outta Time	I’m Outta Time (Remix); The Shock Of The Lightning (The Jagz Kooner Remix)	A remix-driven package rather than a classic B-side release. It marks how far the singles market had shifted since the overloaded CD single era.
2009	Falling Down	Falling Down	Those Swollen Hand Blues; Falling Down (The Gibb Mix); Falling Down (The Prodigy Version)	The final Oasis single before the split. “Those Swollen Hand Blues” is the true B-side, with the rest of the package built around alternate mixes. It closes the catalogue halfway between the old culture and the newer remix economy.

Promotional and Non-Standard Oasis Releases

These tracks were issued as promotional singles, radio releases or other non-standard formats. They did not generally have retail B-side packages, but they belong in the wider history of how Oasis material circulated.

```

Year	Release	Type	Focus Track	Notes
1993	Columbia	Promotional single	Columbia	The first flicker of Oasis on record. Historically crucial, but not yet part of the fully formed retail B-side machine.
1994	Rock ’n’ Roll Star	Promotional single	Rock ’n’ Roll Star	A direct statement of Oasis intent, pushed without a traditional B-side package.
1994	Slide Away	Promotional single	Slide Away	One of the band’s most loved songs, promoted without becoming a major retail single.
1994	Sad Song	Promotional single	Sad Song	An early outlier whose promo-only status adds to the sense of a catalogue overflowing the official albums.
1994	I Am The Walrus (Live)	Promotional single	I Am The Walrus (Live)	A promotional extension of a B-side that already had a life of its own.
1995	Round Are Way	Promotional single	Round Are Way	Originally a “Wonderwall” B-side, then pushed separately. That afterlife captures why Oasis B-sides felt like a parallel discography.
1996	Hello	Promotional single	Hello	A reminder of how huge the Morning Glory campaign became. Some album tracks were strong enough to receive their own promotional life.
1996	Cum On Feel The Noize	Promotional single	Cum On Feel The Noize	A B-side strong enough to be promoted independently, confirming how unusually deep the Oasis single catalogue was.
1997	I Hope, I Think, I Know	Promotional single	I Hope, I Think, I Know	One of the cleanest and most direct songs from Be Here Now, promoted but never issued as a full retail single.
1997	Be Here Now (Live)	Promotional single	Be Here Now (Live)	More documentary than commercial event, reflecting the scale of the band’s late-1990s campaign.
1998	Acquiesce	Promotional single	Acquiesce	By then, “Acquiesce” had already escaped its B-side status in the minds of fans. The promo release simply recognised that reality.
1998	The Masterplan	Promotional single	The Masterplan	The clearest example of a B-side becoming a core Oasis song. It stopped being a hidden track behind “Wonderwall” and became part of the band’s legend.
2000	Where Did It All Go Wrong?	Promotional single	Where Did It All Go Wrong?	A marker of the changing singles strategy around Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.
2000	Gas Panic! (Live)	Promotional single	Gas Panic! (Live)	Live material increasingly filled the role that new B-sides once occupied, offering another way into the songs.
2000	Hey Hey, My My (Live)	Promotional single	Hey Hey, My My (Live)	A live cover which reinforces how much Oasis’s classic-rock identity mattered to the overall release ecosystem.
2005	The Meaning Of Soul	Promotional single	The Meaning Of Soul	A useful record of what the band and label chose to spotlight during the Don’t Believe The Truth era.
2005	Turn Up The Sun	Promotional single	Turn Up The Sun	Part of the wider push around Don’t Believe The Truth, despite never joining the old retail B-side treasure hunt.
2005	Mucky Fingers	Promotional single	Mucky Fingers	Rough and direct, a late reminder that Oasis still liked dirty, basic rock and roll.
2009	Boy With The Blues	Promotional single	Boy With The Blues	Late-period peripheral material that shows Oasis still had good songs orbiting Dig Out Your Soul, even as the traditional B-side model faded.
2009	I Believe In All	Promotional single	I Believe In All	Another late promotional curio, useful proof that Oasis continued to generate worthwhile non-album material until the end.

```

Why the Oasis B-Side Story Still Matters

```

The value of this list is not simply its size. It shows a particular kind of abundance that has largely disappeared from mainstream rock. Between 1994 and 1998, Oasis treated the single as a place to put surplus brilliance. Their B-sides did not merely support the hits. They made the hits feel part of something much larger.

Later releases reflect the decline of the CD single, the rise of digital formats and the growing dominance of remixes and live material. The old treasure-hunt feeling began to fade. Yet that earlier run remains unmatched. The A-sides made Oasis massive. The B-sides made them mythic.

“The Masterplan”

Here is the video for what is probably one of the greatest B-sides in the history of music: “The Masterplan.” Sung by Noel Gallagher, it was originally the B-side to “Wonderwall”. Legend has it that, after recording it, he watched all the X-Men films in release order.
