So here it is the new #Oasis cover that I've been working on for the 30th Anniversary of DEFINITELY MAYBE. A culmination of around 200 hours work. I originally suggested the idea as a back cover but Noel liked the idea so much he decided it would make a great front cover instead.

Morning Glory 27 years! - One of the reasons why Berwick St was chosen is that Noel St. runs adjacent to it, this is a test shot from a few days before. I was rather hoping the VW would still be there on the day of the shoot – like the cover to Abbey Rd & Freewheelin' #oasis

Between 1994 & 1998 I shot 15 album & single covers for #Oasis One of my approaches was that each cover should look completely different from it’s predecessor in both style & substance. Here is a montage of 9 covers – I’d be interested to know which one is your favourite & why?

#Oasis Live Forever 29 year Anniversary…I took the photo back in 1990 for an arts magazine called Avant. When it came to do the cover artwork we found ourselves struggling for an image, so I suggested we use this – I thought it would be a subtle & fitting tribute to John Lennon.

During the start to 'I Am the Walrus' Liam famously told Noel ‘it doesn’t matter if it’s out of tune’ - my sentiment entirely – the same applies to photography - ‘it doesn’t matter if it’s out of focus’ – a moment of sibling tension captured during a gig in 1995 #oasis

2/2 ...for 28 years but sensibilities change along with opinions….and looking at it now it seems to have a certain innocence and charm about it….no glitz…no glamour…what you see is what you get… a ‘mugshot’ rather than a 'portrait' with a ‘photo-booth’ vibe about it #Oasis

Released 28 YEARS AGO TODAY ... Ever wondered what the cover to MORNING GLORY would have looked like without the two central characters? This revealing outtake shows what was going off in the background. #Oasis Photos: Copyright © Michael Spencer Jones - All rights reserved.

One of the reasons why Berwick St was selected for the cover was that ‘Noel Street’ ran straight across. This is one of my shots from the reccying session #timstwitterlisteningparties @britspieces @oasis @OasisPodcast @scyhodotcom @Britpopmemories
