Will Oasis ever release ANOTHER B-Sides Album?

With all the great hits out there. I wanted to ask people. Any chance the Gallaghers might do another comilation, similar to "The Masterplan" where they released a collection of B-Sides? Here is what I found NOT to be included as B-Sides on the 1st release, and could subsequently be included on a future release.

1) It's Better People- Noel

2) Let's All Make Believe-(should have been an A-Side)- Liam

3) Cigarettes in Hell- Noel

4) Street Fighting Man- Liam

5) Angel Child- Noel

6) Heroes- Noel

7) Alive- Liam

8) Cloudburst- Liam

9) You've Got to Hide Your Love Away- Noel

10) Whatever(yes, this was released as a B-Side)- Liam

11) D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman- Noel

12) Take Me Away- Noel

13) I Will Believe- Liam

14) (You've Got) The Heart of a Star- Noel

15) My Generation- Liam

16) Thank You For the Good Times- Liam

17) Shout it Out Loud- Noel

18) Just Getting Older- Noel

19) Idler's Dream(Love this song)- Noel

20) Carry Us All- Noel

21) Full On- Noel

22) One Way Road- Noel

23) Helter Skelter(should have been Liam singing it)- Noel

24) Sad Song- Noel

25) The Fame- Noel

26) Flashbax- Noel

27) My Sister Lover- Liam


Any chance Sony will release these like "The Masterplan" compilation. Thoughts?

I have heard some of these songs and they are very good, so I hope they get released on an album sometime. Don't forget about To Be Someone - Noel. I do not know if this was ever released, it may have been a live performance.

The fact that "Whatever", which is one of their half-dozen best songs ever, isn't on an album is just plain wrong.

Don't know about the covers on that list, but the rest are good enough to merit another b-side album. I think that for the first album, fans voted online to pick the songs that would appear on it, which is why they chose those. Maybe it would make more sense after the new album, since The Masterplan was released after the first three albums, and another one could come out after the next three.

I think it would be a good idea. I'm a big Oasis fan and own all their singles. They are one of the best b-side bands of all time, although they tailed off considerably after Be Here Now. Their popularity has waned a lot in the US though, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a release anytime soon.

Also, a slight quibble: Whatever is not a b-side, it was released as a single.

I wouldn't be surprised if a greatest hits comp comes out after the next album and "Whatever" ends up on that. After 6 LPs, that's usually about the time you start seeing releases like those.

I'm really hoping now that theres 4 writers in the band that they had enough good material to make some quality b-sides this time around (Andy Bell wrote some strong, Oasis-sound alikes when he was in Hurricane #1). It seems like the b-sides from the last few albums were mostly mopey, Noel-sung efforts. Even "Be Here Now", which is a disappointing, bloated album had some fantastic b-sides. If they make a new b-sides comp, hopefully it won't be like "Masterplan" which, while having nothing but great songs, left out a lot of stuff I like (most of the "Be Here Now" b-sides for instance).
