Oasis have shared the first demo from their upcoming ‘Be Here Now Chasing The Sun’ reissue. Don’t Go Away comes from a batch of recordings known as the Mustique Demos which feature Noel singing lead vocals instead of Liam.

‘Be Here Now’ is regarded as the worst of Oasis’ seven studio albums, due to its overblown orchestral arrangements and long meandering songs. So, it was somewhat of a surprise when Oasis announced that they were reissuing the album in a vinyl box set with reimagined tracks and demos to boot.

A reworked D’You Know What I Mean did little to indicate that Oasis had circumvented conventional wisdom to their benefit. Perhaps the demos would justify the price point and raise this reissue beyond an obvious cash grab by the now defunct act.

Does Don’t Go away give hope that this project will elevate the ‘Be Here Now’ period of Oasis somewhat, or does it scientifically prove once and for all that you can’t polish a turd? You decide.
