4.0 out of 5 stars A treat for new fans but not much for older fans, July 29, 2001

This review is from: Don't Go Away (Audio CD)

"Don't Go Away"'s B-sides consist of two rare but already released songs in the Oasis archive; "Sad Song"(orginally released on the vinyl of "Definitely Maybe") and "Fade Away(Warchild Version)"(Orginally released on a U.K. compilation album.) The only new material is a live version of "Cigarettes And Alcohol" taken from the G-Mex, Manchester 97' gig. The version is of course great but it really does not fit with the other songs. If you've never heard "Sad Song" or the Warchild version of "Fade Away," buy this single now! They both posses some of Oasis greatest moments recording. "Sad Song" is an absolute masterpiece. Once again showing the brilliance of Noel Gallagher by himself with an acoustic guitar. The Warchild version of "Fade Away" is far superior than the original version. It is as calm and beautiful as a summer's day on the beach and features backing vocals by Lisa Moorish and guitar by Johnny Depp. Well worth getting for the new fans and only for completist if you have "Sad Song" and the Warchild version of "Fade Away" already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy Single, July 23, 2001

This review is from: Don't Go Away (Audio CD)

This has to be one of the best all round Oasis singles to date. It's just a shame import is the only way to get it. Don't Go Away itself is a beautiful song, much like Wonderwall but with better guitar playing. Cigs and Alcohol is as live and as riottess as we've come to expect from Oasis's most drink fuelled song. Sad Song is another lift from Noel's sensational acoustic repertoire, charting the days before stardom when his relationship collapsed. Fade Away is a lighthearted version a the punk song on The Masterplan. With Noel on vox, the song takes on a whole new life. Great stuff. Overall, typical single from the mighty 'sis, all four songs deserving of an album place, and any one of them could be the a-side. Good work again lads.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an Incredible single, May 26, 2001

This single is incredible. The live version of Cigarettes & Alcohol rocks and the new version of Fade Away is a great reworking of the old classic. But clearly, Sad Song outshines everything else on the cd. It's a beautiful song. Buy this single!
