"A rarely heard side of Liam Gallagher": Oasis reveals 1992 demo of Sad Song

Group portrait of British rock band Oasis leaning against a Jaguar XJ6 car in Withington, Manchester, United Kingdom, 30th November 1993. L-R Paul McGuigan, Noel Gallagher, Tony McCarroll, Liam Gallagher, Paul Arthurs (aka Bonehead).

The words gentle and whimsical aren't usually associated with Liam Gallagher but this time capsule from Oasis's earliest era with Noel writing the songs reveals just that; a softer side to the vocalist on a track that would eventually be recorded by his brother.

Sad Song ended up as a bonus song on the vinyl version Oasis's 1994 debut Definitely Maybe but this Mauldeth Road West Demo with Liam singing dates back to 1992. It showcases a rarely heard side to Liam Gallagher and is one of the archive recordings that form part of the forthcoming 30th anniversary Deluxe Reissue of Definitely Maybe.
