In the Definitely Maybe album cover, the two photos of football players are Rodney Marsh and George Best. There's an LP sleeve of Burt Bacharach and the movie in the TV is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". The house was Bonehead's.

The "Mr. Sifter" in Shakermaker is the name of Noel's favorite record store when he was growing up.

Noel wrote the songs, Columbia, Live Forever and others in the "Hit Hut" in which he used to work while working on a building site because part of a gass main had landed on his foot disallowing him from working on the site itself.

The song "Married With Children" was actually inspired by Noel's ex-girlfriend who told Noel, "your music's shite", which is part of the lyrics.

The Live Forever single cover features the house where John Lennon grew up in.

The title "Wonderwall" is either taken from a title from one of George Harrison's albums or from an interview with John Lennon where he said "Wonderwall" instead of "Wonderfull".

The intro to "Don't Look Back In Anger" is taken from John Lennon's song, "Imagine".

The ending to the song "She's Electric" is also copied from the Beatles song, "With A Little Help From My Friends".

According to Noel Gallagher, the name for their album Be Here Now stems from a John Lennon quote. When asked during his bed-in demonstration what history was, Lennon replied "to be here now"

'Be Here Now' is also the title of a song by George Harrison.

Be Here Now is the fastest selling album in UK chart history.

The date on the calendar on the cover varies depending upon the release date in different countries. So it says August 21 on the British version but August 26 in the American version.

The Masterplan b-sides compilation was originally meant to be only released in areas such as America where it's only possible to find the tracks on European import singles which can be very expensive.

Chris Griffiths was given a co-writing credit for Rockin' Chair. On it's original release on the Roll With It single in 1995, Noel Gallagher was credited as the sole songwriter.

The album's title was taken from the words of Sir Isaac Newton: "If I can see further than anyone else, it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". Noel Gallagher saw the quote on the side of a £2 coin while in a pub and liked it so much he thought it would be a suitable name for Oasis' new album. He then wrote the name on the side of a cigarette packet while drunk. When he awoke in the morning, he realised he had written "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants — A bum title".

The album's artwork features the photo of New York skyline made from the rooftop of the Rockefeller Center. This photo has a very special effect — it's impossible to say during what time of day it was shot. To reach this effect, the photographer had to capture the same frame every half an hour in 18 hours during the whole day course. Then the photos were digitally edited and united into the the actual picture.

The title of the album, according to Noel, came from a t-shirt he bought in Ibiza which featured a logo reading, "The Society of Heathen Chemists".

Similarly, the name of the first single, "The Hindu Times", originated from a logo on a t-shirt that read the same thing, which Noel saw during a photo shoot for GQ's 100 Greatest Guitarists edition.

Every member of the band contributed to the writing of tracks for the album, and the album is the first where all duties were divided between the band members. On some of the tracks regular bass player Andy Bell handled guitar, while Gem and Noel played bass in other songs.

Don't Believe the Truth is the first Oasis record to feature the drumming of Zak Starkey, the son of former Beatle Ringo Starr, who replaced Oasis' longtime member Alan White.

Liam also had a larger impact on the album by his developing songwriting. Noel has said that this album is his favourite of Oasis' last four, because all members have contributed to it. This, he claims, has given it a different feel to a typically Noel-written Oasis album.

The cover was designed by Sir Peter Blake, best known for his design of the sleeve for The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

According to Blake, he chose all of the objects in the picture at random, but the sleeves of Sgt. Pepper's and Definitely Maybe were in the back of his mind. He claims, "It's using the mystery of Definitely Maybe and running away with it."

Familiar cultural icons which can be seen on the cover include Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and the seven dwarfs from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.
