Author: Kevin Cummins Translator's name: Suzuki Akane Number of pages: 256 pages Specifications: B5 size (263 x 194mm) / Hard cover The birth of Oasis, one of Britain's most iconic rock bands - a definitive photo collection featuring Kevin Cummins' iconic photographs and Noel Gallagher's words Kevin Cummins, the renowned photographer who has worked with Joy Division and Bjork, brings to light the music and the face of Oasis through iconic photographs. Many of the photos are published for the first time, and the history of the band's evolution to success is revealed! This book contains rare photographs of the tumultuous 12 months leading up to Oasis' debut, as well as iconic photos of the band shortly after their debut, many of which have never been seen before. Kevin Cummins is a world-renowned photographer who has photographed numerous top artists, including Joy Division, Bjork, and David Bowie. In 1993, Oasis signed with Creation Records and began working on their debut album, Definitely Maybe. Kevin Cummins was hired to create a look that matched the band's sound, and he continued to capture their early, enthusiastic live shows and the youthful, intense energy that symbolized their musicality. This book visually follows the band's evolution and path to global success, with photos of the brothers looking fresh in their newly purchased clothes at Affleck's Palace in Manchester, life-size photographs of them in local pubs and on the streets, and even the brothers wearing Manchester City uniforms featuring the Brother logo. In addition, Noel Gallagher himself provides commentary on the photographs, sharing his thoughts on football, fashion and music, as well as looking back on the band's development through reminiscences. There is also cultural commentator Gail Crowther's reflections on Oasis' influence and rare testimony from Kevin Cummins. Before the "Oasis success story" that everyone knows, how did they establish their own identity and evolve into a band that changed the world? This book is the definitive record that reveals that "master plan." How was Oasis born? What are the myriad factors that shape the sound, look and identity of a new band? This is a must-have book for all music fans, witnessing the birth and evolution of Oasis.
