(“be here now” is the 3rd studio album by the english rock band ‘oasis’, released on ’21 august 1997′ by ‘creation records’)

(‘oasis’ had achieved ‘worldwide success’ with their 1994 debut album definitely maybe + 1995 follow-up (what’s the story) morning glory?)

(the 3rd album was highly anticipated by both ‘fans’ + ‘music critics’)

(oasis’ management company ‘ignition’ were aware of the dangers of ‘overexposure’, and before release sought to control the media’s access to the album)

(the campaign included ‘limiting pre-release radio airplay’ and forcing journalists to sign ‘gag orders’)

(the tactics resulted in the alienation of both the ‘press’ and many ‘industry personnel’ connected with the band, and fueled ‘large-scale speculation’ + ‘wide publicity’ within the ‘british music scene’)

(on the first day of release, be here now sold over ‘424,000 copies’, becoming the fastest-selling album in british chart history, while initial reviews were overwhelmingly positive)

(retrospectively, however, the album is viewed by many ‘music journalists’ + ‘fans’ and by most members of the band as ‘over-indulgent’ + ‘bloated’)

(‘Q magazine’ (which gave the album a ‘5-star review’ on its release), admitted in 2007 that be here now is often thought of as “a disastrous, overblown folly—the moment when oasis, their judgement clouded by ‘drugs’ + ‘blanket adulation’, ran aground on their own ‘sky-high self-belief'”)

(the album’s producer ‘owen morris’ said the recording sessions were marred by ‘arguments’ + ‘drug abuse’, and that the band’s only motivations were ‘commercial’)

(as of ‘2008’, the album had sold ‘8 million copies’ worldwide)
