Stop the Clocks, a double CD of hits, B-sides, and Oasis' "finest moments ever," will hit stores November 20.
Six albums and 12 years on, Oasis is set to release a double CD retrospective picked by the band itself and labeled as the "definitive collection."
But the 18-track collection, dubbed Stop the Clocks and set to hit stores November 20, is not a standard greatest-hits package. In addition to hits like "Supersonic," "Wonderwall," and "The Importance of Being Idle," the set will include Oasis B-sides like "Acquiesce" and "Half the World Away."
"Having spent 10 months on the road in support of the two million-selling Don't Believe The Truth, Stop the Clocks is released as Oasis take a well-earned sabbatical prior to starting work on new material," the band said in announcing the compilation. "As such, this is not a full stop, but merely a time out."
Oasis' debut album, 1994's Definitely Maybe, was voted as the greatest album of all time by British music fans, according to a survey taken by British Hit Singles & Albums and NME.com, the Web site of the music news weekly New Music Express. The band's follow-up, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, allows Oasis to join only the Beatles and Radiohead with two albums in the top 10.
