─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
A young Noel Gallagher at the height of Oasis'
popularity in the mid-'90s declared that the band would
not release a compilation CD until the end of their
career, since such compilations implied that a band's
career was indeed over. A decade later, an older,
presumably wiser Gallagher realized that if you're
about to leave your longtime label and that label will
release a compilation whether you participate or not,
it's better to write your own draft of your band's
history than having the label do it for you. And so,
Gallagher designed the first Oasis hits compilation,
2006's double-disc, 18-track Stop the Clocks. As he so
often has done in his career, he looked to the Beatles
for guidance, choosing their two 1973 hits comps
1962-1966 and 1967-1970 -- better-known as The Red
Album and The Blue Album -- as a template for Stop the
Clocks. Those records mixed up hits with album tracks
and B-sides to offer an overview of the band's
identity, and so it is with Oasis' double-disc set, as
it overlooks big hits -- "Roll with It," "D'You Know
What I Mean," "Stand by Me" -- in favor for things that
were tucked away on albums or singles. Where the
Beatles albums sampled more or less equally from each
phase of their career, Gallagher is a bit more ruthless
in rewriting his own history, thoroughly excising
1997's Be Here Now from the band's past -- an
overreaction that's nevertheless perfectly in line with
everything regarding their overblown third album.
Such fits of pique are typical for Gallagher and Oasis
-- which at the time of the release of Stop the Clocks
had only his brother Liam as the other remaining
original member -- and another is the exclusion of the
non-LP Christmas 1994 single "Whatever," omitted
presumably because if it was here the band would have
to shell out royalties to David Bowie. But even if
"Whatever" is missed along with such other great
singles both early ("Shakermaker") and late ("The Hindu
Times"), Stop the Clocks works at its most basic level:
it offers an excellent primer to Oasis at their best.
Of course, this means that it draws very heavily on the
glory days of 1994-1996, offering five tracks each from
Definitely Maybe and (What's the Story) Morning Glory,
plus various B-sides from this era. All in all, a
whopping 15 of the 19 tracks here date from this time,
and the four songs that do come from the 21st century
-- "Lyla," "The Importance of Being Idle," "Go Let It
Out," "Songbird" -- more than hold their own since they
rely on what has always been their strengths: sturdy
classicist songwriting and spirited performances. And
that's why Oasis' best music has dated very well:
anything with such aspirations to be classic lives and
dies by the strength of their material, and this
manages to capture its time and transcend it, since its
attitude remains potent, and the songs sound as good
hundreds of times after their fist spin. No, even at
two discs Stop the Clocks doesn't contain all of the
best of Oasis, but it does contain Oasis at their best
and enough of it that it can indeed be passed along to
future generations as an introduction to one of the
best bands of their time, just like how the Red and
Blue albums converted many young listeners to the
Beatles.
