Release Notes
An all NEW remaster using all new FLAC sources (with the exception of track 11 which is the same source as before).
Primarily sourced from the bootleg "Unplugged" by FingerPrint plus some other superior sources for some tracks.
My original remaster posted five years ago was sourced from a 192kbps download of the bootleg "Pull The Plug".
I was very proud of the job I've done but I always wanted to do a lossless version but I couldn't get my hands on a decent stereo source.
Well in the last few weeks I've not only managed to download the "Unplugged" bootleg but a bunch of other tracks from various other sources too.
I've edited them all together in the correct set order and I've adjusted levels so that all the different sources sound as similar as possible.
UPDATE:
I've recently discovered some new sources for a couple of tracks and added them as a bonus pack.
This pack contains; Hello (Uncensored Version): This is the same source used as before only I've used a new source to edit in the part that was censored for the TV broadcast.
Whatever (New Source): this version taken from the bootleg MTV Unliammed Definitive Edition as a FLAC download and replaces the mp3 source used previously.
Whatever (Stereo Mix): This is a stereo version taken from a HD youtube video. I have been unable to find a higher quality source.
Hello (Take #1): Taken from a HD video audio grab. This is the highest quality version of this track I've been able to find.
I've edited tracks 01-03 so they can be placed in to the original download and replace the tracks used previously.
So now you have a choice whether you prefer the Flac source of Whatever or the stereo mix version.
Hello (Take #1) should be placed at the end of the performance as an outtake. The download contains both Flac and mp3 versions of the tracks.

Release Notes:
Hello everyone. I recently purchased an unmarked cd off of ebay that was advertised to be an oasis live performance from an 'industry insider' and of 'superb quality'. The cd turned out to contain 10 songs from oasis' 1996 MTV Unplugged performance, perfectly edited together. The quality of this recording of the performance is by far and away superior to any other recording I have heard in terms of clarity and volume.
I took a look at the spectrogram to see if the files had been upsampled, and as far as I can tell, they haven't been. Though there is a strange dip in frequencies present around 16kHz.
Because the cd is missing Listen Up and Whatever from the performance, it leads me to believe that the recording is from a radio broadcast promo or something of that nature, as I know Listen Up and Whatever were cut from the TV broadcasts of the show.
I have included the files below, minus DLBIA and Round Are Way as those have been officially released. If you have any speculations about the origin of the files, feel free to share.

Notes: Taken from a VHS i recorded in 1999 where MTV Latin did a countdown of the best Unplugged moments, they show Whatever and this version don't have the compression on the MTV Hits i did in the past years. The color its not the best as the MTV Hits version, but this one is another source of what we used to have.

The infamous MTV Unplugged gig. Winners of an MTV competition were invited to this very special recording. Liam (who had apparently been out on the piss) decided 15 mins before the gig was to go ahead that he couldn't sing as he had a sore throat - leaving Noel to take up lead vocals. He was not best pleased.
"Listen Up" was introduced by Noel as a "new song" and it was even repoted by gullible music journalists that Noel played a new song at the show which was not broadcast.
The version of "Hello" from the final broadcast was actually the 2nd take, recorded after "Wonderwall" at the end.
In January 2021 the full unedited footage from the crane camera surfaced on YouTube via an account with access to the MTV archives. For the first time we got to hear the full show from start to finish (including the chat between songs which was edited out of the MTV Broadcast), including both versions of "Hello" and confirm 100% where "Listen Up" and "Whatever".
In 2023 user "hislittleguitar" bought a CD on eBay containing 10 tracks supposedly sourced from an "music industry insider" and posted 8 of them to the Live4ever Oasis Forum. The source is currently unknown but the sound is certainly a lot louder/clearer than some of the late 1990s bootlegs that circulated.
