Both "I Am The Walrus" and "Listen Up" were featured on the B-Sides Collection, The Masterplan. Both appear as edited versions, however.

Fade Away its also included in the masterplan. Please correct that information. ^^

The songs verses are actually Rod Stewart and Ron Wood's "Stay With Me" transposed down to 5th below aka. Stay with me is A-B-D-A and Cigarettes And Alcohol is E-F#-A-E, Still played with the exact same feel and thus I suspect why Rod covered it.70.156.13.37 00:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Oasis' Cigarettes & Alchohol single cover.jpg

Image:Oasis' Cigarettes & Alchohol single cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

By the way...

...the point of deleting the Listen Up article was (by consensus) to merge the content here into - perhaps - a B-side section. That simply hasn't happened, there's no information from that article here at all. It's Malpass ⁹₃! (_drop me a ^___) 23:00, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the "Listen Up" article before it was blanked. I don't see anything to merge, really. The song is too trivial. - Manifestation (talk) 19:52, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s."

Very well written. Thedaveformula (talk) 03:49, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
