Jill Furmanovsky`s unparalleled work with Oasis stretches from the end of 1994 - when the band`s debut album, Definitely Maybe, became the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history at the time - to their last tense shows in 2009, which culminated in their split. Jill was given unprecedented access to countless worldwide performances and many recording sessions. In this single, beautiful volume, overseen and edited by Noel Gallagher, award-winner Furmanovsky presents, for the first time, her complete Oasis archive, which she describes as her best body of work, as well as insightful observations taken from notes she made at the time.

Organized chronologically, the book depicts more than 500 photographs, contact sheets and sequenced film strips of the band on stage, backstage, on the road, in the studio and behind the scenes. She captured the drama of the band`s lifestyle during the 1990s when, as Jill said, 'they were on a comet, hanging on for dear life'. The access she was given allowed closeness, and she was able to document the competitive and at times volatile relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher up to their split in 2009, creating a poignant visual diary that is more than the sum of its parts.

Accompanying the images is illuminating commentary by Noel Gallagher, who relates the inside stories of the events pictured in many of the shoots and demonstrates an honest and touching relationship between band and photographer. Three essays journalists provide context to the band`s story, and an introduction by Jill celebrates the supreme significance of Oasis in her 50+ years photographing musicians.
