I’m not a huge fan of the ending of Stand by Me either but it’ll be easy to get used to so no biggie.

Listen to it as we speak! Liam sounds fantastic! And the tracklist is really good, I love that Alright Now and Meadow are included! Yeah I missed them from the Unplugged so I’m happy to see them here.

I think the vocals on Meadow might be my favourite from this session! But Liam sounds great on all of them, so it's hard to decide!

Wow, I'm surprised how much better Now That I've Found You sounds acoustic. I think it was igotflair that said it deserved the stripped-down ballad arrangement? How right you were!

What an amazing surprise to end the week with! This is the definitive version of Sad Song, for me.

I am beyond glad that this was what we got, I would have been gutted if it was simply MTV Unplugged (which we have all heard, and will probably get somepoint anyway). This was a fantastic surprise, and his best live vocals in years, better than the unplugged. The fact its on spotify aswell, too good.

Just listening now.
Really liked the first three and just getting to Sad Song now.
Voice sounds on top form and the backing vocals/piano work bring out the melodies more than the album versions on the WMWN songs I think.
Great stuff.
EDIT: Sad Song - amazing.

Tbf I love that song and it's one of the few off the last album that I go back to but I totally agree that it sounds even better like this. Really brings out the emotion in it.

I disagree, those songs belong to Noel well that's a different argument. The fact is he has recorded and released oasis songs. Presumably without needing to seek prior approval from Noel. Anyway, puts to bed the arguments about whether he can release oasis songs commercially as I'm pretty sure Noel wouldn't have allowed this given the choice. Permission was needed to release these songs. As It Was permission was a different beast, Noel didn’t like that it was a pr exercise.

Things cant be as bad as they appear if he approved this. Cant imagine him allowing it under any circumstances six months ago given how bitter he sounded when talking about Liam.

Noel will have had to give permission to release these tracks and he has , the ice is thawing ...as for the ep it’s classic Liam but It just seems a mix up of album vocals and added music it still sounds quality though

I dunno manc, Noel is a shrewd businessman and he knows where it’s at. I think he’s also emotionally detached enough to separate personal issues from professional. Liam definitely isn’t.

Some thoughts after my second listen. nice to have another version of Cast No Shadow. Always sounds amazing. The backing vocals are heavenly. Stand By Me sounds much better acoustically, that’s for sure. It surprised me how good the stripped back version of Meadow is. Tbh I thought that it would be very meh w/o fancy production

Cast no shadow sounds like the studio version...

I’ve listened to cast no shadow and stand by me and they’re definately new interpretations / they’re beautiful and very respectful of the originals / amazing artistry in their own right
I’m guessing this has been a clever compromise to resolve part of the commercial problems - Noel granted Liam the right to record these tracks to create new copyright works
Win win

What does his contract with WB look like. How many albums? This is a very quick turn around on another release. Is someone trying to satisfy a contract so thay they can be free to do something like else...O

Sounds good glad Liam is finally singing and not shouting on acoustic songs. Way way better.
Inner peace found ?

It's a bit odd that they released this EP but haven't announced it yet. Not even on Liam's twitter.
