To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Oasis's classic debut single 'Supersonic' this week, an early live version of the track – recorded at the Limelight in Belfast on September 4, 1994 – has been released.

The recording was made at the renowned Belfast venue the same week that Oasis released their debut album, Definitely Maybe. Shortly before they kicked off the gig, the band discovered that the LP had debuted at No.1 on the UK Albums Chart.

David Neely, who was General Manager and booker at the Limelight in 1994, has shared his reflections on the legendary night:

“It was a sell out 500 people at the gig and tickets only £6.75! The Sunday of the week the debut album was released, the Limelight show was the right venue, for the right band at the right time. I remember around 6.30pm (in the dark days before mobile phones) that a call came into the office from Radio One, saying the band had just went to Number 1 in the album charts. It was a show that is now claimed by thousands that they were there – simply a show that is legendary in these parts.”

Limited edition physical single formats are being released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 'Supersonic' – including a replica of the original 1994 CD Single (including the white label demo version of ‘Columbia’) and an individually numbered pearl-coloured 7” vinyl, out now on Big Brother Recordings.

Stay tuned for further news about the upcoming 30th anniversary celebrations for Definitely Maybe...
