Noel Gallagherhas shared the details of a greatest hits album along with a new single.
The former Oasis rocker’s new single, We’re On Our Way Now, is one of two new tracks to feature on Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021), which will celebrate 10 years of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
The greatest hits album is a definitive 18-track package, which will feature songs from Noel’s solo career, from his 2011 eponymous debut, its 2015 follow-up, Chasing Yesterday, 2017’s Who Built The Moon? and more.
Noel said of the news: “10 years of The High Flying Birds?? Blimey! … just think of all the things I COULD have done in that time!!”
“The title just came to me one afternoon, at the kitchen table.” He continues. “It’s a saying isn’t it: ‘back the way we came’. I actually thought it was a great title. Which is why it’s got Vol 1. Because if there’s another one, I’m not coming up with another title!”
Back The Way We Came Vol 1 (2011-2021) is also available on limited edition deluxe formats with a bonus disc including previously unreleased acoustic versions, remixes, instrumentals and a demo.
There will also be a limited edition numbered, hand pressed, coloured double LP with an exclusive art print released for Record Store Day on the 12 June.
Curated and compiled entirely by Noel Gallagher, the tracklisting for Back The Way We Came also features songs from Noel’s three EPs, Black Star Dancing, This Is The Place and Blue Moon Rising.
