As far as the UK is concerned, Oasis Summer comes to a close with the band’s final two Wembley Stadium this weekend. The celebrations, though, continue on into the autumn with the release of the 30^th anniversary edition of their mega-selling, era-defining second album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? at the start of next month.

The set, due for release on 3^rd October, will feature five brand new unplugged versions produced and mixed from the original master recordings. The group previously unveiled a stripped-down version of their classic B-side Acquiesce and today they have released a similarly stirring take on the title track of their second album – incidentally, the original version of Acquiesce included snippets of Noel Gallagher playing the chorus of Morning Glory in the background.

The other, as-yet-unreleased unplugged takes are Wonderwall, Cast No Shadow and their Live ’25 set closer Champagne Supernova. Listen to the newly-released take on Morning Glory below:
