I'm a bit disappointed too. Some tracks clearly have a better sound but most of them are just a bit clearer, and not that much if you listen to a CD uncompressed or a vinyl. It probably has to to with how DM was recorded... poorly, with barely no producer, with live takes.
And that shows, because songs that got way better with the remaster are Slide Away (different producer) and Supersonic (recorded last if i remember well ?). I don't think they spent much time ore money on it, unlike, say, Beatles remasters, which are an absolute delight to listen to compared to original recordings.
MG and BHN are more produced, so it should be more interesting. We'll probably heard a lot more unheard tracks and layers. On DM, there weren't that much left unheard, because it was raw.

here is a short video i just put together showing the 2 versions of slide away back to back for comparison. It's fuckin' ridiculous they removed Noel's backing vocals in Slide Away. That was the whole magic of this song. I remember my friend talkin' to me back in the day and sayin' " Dyou know i've never really liked Slide Away until i heard that backin' vocals once in the pub and i totally get it now, it's amazing". At that point i thought fuck backin' vocals, it's a good song anyway, who cares about backin' vocals. Until one day i was high as a kite, remember i was actually in a classroom at some boring lesson that no one give a shit about so we were smokin' pot before it starts (good times ). Anyway i was sittin' in this classroom with my headphones on and listening to Definitely Maybe instead of teacher, Slide Away came on and for the first time i get focused on these backin' vocals and i thought fuckin' hell that's what he was talkin' about , i get it now too. It's was a pretty magical lesson hahaha, lesson topic : How to listen to Oasis : GET HIGH, and that girl was sittin' in front of me... Good times. Bring them back and those damn backin vocals.

I read somewhere that Noel's backing vocals from Slide Away are removed, so my thoughts are it must of been a remix? At least that song Not all of Noel's vocals from Slide Away are missing, just the bits where Liam sings "slide in baby, together we'll fly", up until the chorus. The Safety Masters CDs prove that that mix existed in 1994, so it's not a new bit of work. Either they keep taking the wrong one of the shelves, or Noel has requested that that mix now be used from now on. I'd guess it's the former. I am sure they will use the "wrong" mix of Wonderwall on the Moring Glory Deluxe as well again.

I reckon it's a crime that there's no alt version of slide away included in this set (where's the 7 min no-fade-out-at-the-end demo from safety copy of masters???), and no live forever demo either, but overall it's not too bad. agree that for most there's not much difference to be heard on the remaster of the album. Problem with being a fan and collecting all the bootlegs and leaks is you'll always be a bit let down by official releases like this I guess - they can't include it all lol. Still, no alt slide away (not even a live acoustic!) is criminal!
(and why the fuck didn't they give us the full version of supersonic with no fade and all that extra guitar noel was on about in the 1994 interview someone mentioned on here? I would die to hear that! longas they let me hear it first, if you get me)

The Live Forever demo is being held back for a future project. There's just no other excuse for it. Yeah, Slide Away they could have used the RTE Radio version, I reckon they have the master tape for that because they used bits of the interview for that Interviews CD in the cigarette packet singles boxsets. They could have swapped a couple of the Noel Manchester tracks for that. There was certainly no need for that Glasgow live version of Supersonic, the Gleneagles version is already on Disc 2.

Just got mine! Uploading all the discs to my iTunes as we speak. I haven't flipped through it yet, but the booklet with the 3 Album Deluxe Version is quality.
Shakermaker just came on. What a difference on this track.....!

My original copy of DM must be so shit, because the re-mastered version is much more "alive", if that makes sense? It's louder, and actually vibrant. Loving this.

Can't believe noone's discussed the booklet, still! Have read the first page only so far though, and it's brilliant. Just like the Time Flies collection - very nicely put together indeed. I have yet to flip through it all though - basically, I want to prolong this experience, don't want to go through everything in one night! It's like opening your Christmas gifts, you want to savor the experience! God, I fucking love this band.
