Mark Feltham Mark contributed harmonica on Gas Panic. Part of what he plays was originally played on the flute by Charlotte Glasson, they chose to use harmonica over the flute for that bit on the album version. I believe he first worked with Oasis on the track Whatever then on Round Are Way and All around the World. He appeared at all the big gigs and shows in the 90’s with the band Earls Court, Maine Road, Knebworth, MTV Unplugged etc. He appeared with the band on the show The White Room playing Round Are Way in late 1995. He appeared in the Oasis Podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-oasis-podcast/id1224373139?i=1000384685115From Wikipedia He best known for playing harmonica with several artists including Oasis and Talk Talk. Feltham is a long-term member of the British blues rock band Nine Below Zero, and Rory Gallagher's band; and is often used as a session musician. This is a video of him playing with Rory Gallagher in 1988 1988-2-24 Evening Extra, Dublin, Ireland

Noel’s thoughts on the direction of the band after BHN.
1997-10-23 Evening Session with Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 1, London, UK Only Noel was due to appear on the show but he went to the pub with Liam before and bought him along which made for one of the funniest, insightful and controversial interviews they’ve ever done.
At 5:07 He talks about the future
Some of tracks he chose to play make for interesting listening and perhaps show where he was going. Captain Beefheart - Mirror Man DJ Shadow - High Noon Death in Vegas - Dirt

Charlotte Glasson Charlotte played flute on Gas Panic! She was recommended to Noel by Paul Stacey as they were friends. In 1998 Charlotte attended Supernova Heights and played flute on Noel’s remix of the Unkle song The Knock On Effect. Then in the same year she again attended Supernova Heights and played Flute on the demo of Gas Panic. They were going to ask Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull to play the part on the final version but in the end Charlotte’s parts were kept for the album. She was interviewed on the Oasis Podcast podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-oasis-podcast/id1224373139?i=1000601214066Her website charlotteglasson.com/

Paul Stacey had a significant involvement in the development and final recording of SOTSOG. He originally joined the band as an additional keyboard player to play string parts on the Be Here Now tour from 1997 to 98. Once the tour finished Noel asked him to help out at Air Studios where he was recording the track Teotihuacan for the X Files soundtrack. They continued working together on the demos for SOTSOG and Paul played the following bits on the album: Fuckin’ in the Bushes - Additional lead guitar and keyboards Who Feels Love? - Backwards guitar and bass Gas Panic! - Bass I Can See a Liar - Bass Where Did it all Go Wrong? - Additional acoustic guitar Roll It Over - Guitar solo and bass He also co-produced with Mark Spike Stent the band’s first live album/video, Familiar to Millions which was released later in 2000. Paul continued to work with the band on all their other albums and still works with Noel on his solo albums. There is an interview with him below, he discusses his involvement with the band from 26:17 This thought has only just occurred to me now 24 years later but when Noel left the tour after the fight with Liam in Barcelona, why didn’t the band ask Paul Stacey to step in on guitar. He would have certainly known all the parts to the SOTSOG songs and was trusted by the band. For the record I think Matt Deighton did a great job anyway. This is a video on instagram of him playing a solo during a cover of the Stooges - I wanna be your dog. Would love to hear the full song http://instagram.com/p/B2zPmBuHE6n

I don’t normally watch reaction videos, I’m not sure what the point is?
This guy watches the video for TSOTL then plays the drums to it. Scroll through to 7:00 to see him drumming. He smashes it and manages to almost get the solo too! Talented guy
Now this lad absolutely smashes it beat for beat

FITB should have been the first single from the album. A five track EP featuring the album version and various remixes. Was it not released on a Vinyl for promotion and clubs in December 1999? I think I remember reading that at the time. Maybe I'm wrong. According to www.oasis-live.net there was a 12” vinyl white label promo for FITB. Everywhere I have looked shows that it was released in early January 2000.

These people were thanked in the album notes Jason Rhodes has worked as a producer on Brother Swan’s debut album Loom. Not sure if he was working as a guitar tech for New Order www.instagram.com/j.rhodes_esq?igsh=Y2o2bmVnNWVwbzBlSpooner was Paul ‘Spooner’ Heywood fi.linkedin.com/in/paul-heywood-b60b1aa6Rodger Nowell is now Paul Weller’s guitar tech. He was interviewed on the Desperately Seeking Paul podcast paulwellerfanpodcast.com/roger-nowell/David ‘Clint’ Lockyer Drums & Percusion Tech, Keys & Playback Tech, Owner, Frontline Music David Clint Lockyer - Owner - Frontline Music | LinkedIn Suzanne and Jasmin Lee Suzanne Lee-Barnes, originally owned the Wheeler End studios along with her husband, Alvin Lee. Jasmin Lee - Jasmin (‘Jazz’) is the daughter of Alvin Lee from ‘Ten Years After’. She grew up in studios and started running the family business with her mother which included residential recording studios Hook End and Wheeler End. From 1997 to 2006, Oasis were in residence at their Wheeler End Studio and in 2000 she joined Noel’s record company Big Brother Recordings and started managing bands in 2001. She is now based out of her current company Dean St. Studios (started in 2007) that integrates all of her resources and experience of the last 18 years. Information taken from www.deanst.com/team/Mouse and Grub - not 100% sure but Mouse (of Cat ‘n’ Mouse Catering) was in charge of the catering on the UK stadium tour in 2000. She’s interviewed here at 5:47 as part of the Oasis: Behind the scenes documentary on Sky 1. Brian Gibson Information about Brian Gibson and John Fredricks in this thread on the forum from back in 2016. It is regarding the desk that was used to record at wheeler End. Information gathered by davidjaylive4ever.proboards.com/thread/84192/sexual-references-oasis-nghfb-songs?page=2Brian Gibson was a studio technician at Abbey Road from 1967 to 1998 and an authority on EMI TG consoles. Interview with him about consoles The text below has been copied from the thread on this forum, information provided by davidjay who had contacted Brian. Brian Gibson: I became involved with the Oasis recording project after I was asked to service the EMI TG12345 console and some other EMI equipment that Noel had bought while they were in Australia. They were assembling equipment to take to France for the recording, and I spent some time working on the desk and sorting out a few problems. The complete location recording equpiment package was being put together by a guy named John "Freddo" Fredericks who runs a company called "Technical Earth" who had built all the cableforms, equipment racks and Pro Tools installation. They were planning to take some tech support with them to France and because I'd got to know them and was familiar with the gear, I was asked if I'd like to go along and take care of the technical and equipment side of the sessions. Much of the recording of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was initially on 24-track analogue tape (Studer A800) and then bounced to Pro Tools for editing and overdubs. We initially had nine weeks at the Chateau but ran out of time, so the recordings were finished at Wheeler End studio, where Noel had recorded all the demos for the album. We shipped all the gear back from France and installed it at Wheeler End, so the recording was finished off with the same gear that was used for the first part of the sessions. The final mixdowns were done by "Spike" Stent [on an SSL mixing desk] at his room in the old Olympic studios and he was assisted throughout the recording and mixing by Jan "Stan" Kybert.

Linda Lewis and P.P. Arnold contributed backing vocals on three tracks on the album: FITB, PYMWYMI and Roll it Over. Must have been quite something to watch them singing in that session! Both women have had incredible careers since the 1960s. Their Wikipedia pages make for interesting reading. P.P. Arnold had worked previously with Paul Weller and Ocean Colour Scene so that may have been how Noel met her. Linda Lewis official site www.lindalewis.co.uk/P.P. Arnold official site pparnold.com/Sadly Linda died in 2023. Below is an obituary.

Fuckin In The Bushes is an amazing album opener and one of best tracks on the album. It's like a big ruthless F U in your face. Monstrous drums, and I love how the bass and the guitar strike in. The samples are very cool. They should have definitely played it live before GLIO at the gigs, I mean the band playing it, just like the Swamp Song in 95-96. Any explanation given by Noel why they didn't? Lazyness? Yes would have been great live but sadly they never did. As far as I know Noel never gave a reason for not playing it live. The only thing I can think of is that Paul Strangeboy Stacey played the lead guitar parts in the album version and Noel may have thought it was too complicated to play. The only other thing I can think of is that sometimes bands use the opening song as a last opportunity to adjust sound and monitor levels, swamp song would have been straight forward but FITB is a bit more of a complicated song to begin with.

2000-5-2 The Late Show with David Letterman, Ed Sullivan Theater, Broadway/53rd Street, Manhattan, New York, USA The band performed I Can See A Liar. A good performance, all sounds good, however, I’ve never understood why the band chose to play ICSAL, considering it was quite a prestigious show to get on at the time, a big TV audience opportunity etc. Noel had been saying in interviews that ICSAL isn’t very good and he doesn’t like it yet they chose to play it for this show. Surely as the main “killer single” GLIO would have been a better option, yes it was released earlier in the year but in reality not many Americans would be familiar with it. The only thing I can think of is that it is a riff heavy song which may suit American audiences more. I remember staying up late to watch and record this. I was stunned they played ICSAL. Figured it would have been GLIO. Liam vocals sound bad here. I’m assuming it was a time issue. Usually these shows want fast, concise songs. Even when Oasis played DGA on Leno, Letterman and SNL they cut the bridge out. I suppose they just didn’t have many ideal song options at the time to play, maybe GLIO is a bit long with the extended outro. The album version is 4:39 and the version on familiar to millions is 5:32 both versions are too long for TV unless for a specific music TV show such as Jools Holland or Nulle Part Ailleurs. I’d not thought of the song length, I think you’re right, that is probably the reason they chose to play that song.

Just to go back to the SOTSOG artwork
The internal artwork of the album contains a photo collage created by Simon Halfon. It has photos of Noel, Liam and Alan at Wheeler End Studios and some close up images of the flame pattern on the Keyboard desk later used on the tour by Mike Rowe and Zeb Jameson. One of the photos shows Noel’s touring guitar case holding a few guitars, one of which is the Union Jack Epiphone Sheraton used at Maine Road gigs in 1996. The album also contains a photo of the Chateau taken by Jill Furmanovsky.
The band also thank the following people some of whom I’ve not heard of before: Jason Rhodes - Noel’s guitar tech at the time Rodger Nowell - Tech Spooner - Guitar Tech Brian Gibson - ? John Fredricks - ? Johnny Clark - ? David ‘Clint’ Lockyer - ? Suzanne and Jasmin Lee - ? Fat Rick - ? Mouse and Grub - ? Alan McGee and all at Creation - Record Company Marcus Russell, Alec McKinley and all at Ignition
