A new compilation celebrates the first decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Back The Way We Came Vol. 1 2011-2021 has been “curated and compiled entirely by Noel”.

This collection obviously includes tracks from the three studios albums: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (2011), Chasing Yesterday (2015) and Who Built The Moon? (2017) and various EPs. It includes two previously unreleased tracks, including the brand new single, ‘We’re On Our Way Now’.

This new best of is available across a number of formats, the pick of which is probably the 3CD deluxe edition. This comes in ‘casebound book’ packaging and includes a bonus disc of previously unreleased acoustic versions, remixes, instrumentals and an unheard demo. In the UK, it’s only £3 more than the standard 2CD set, which is a ‘softpack’ presentation.

There is a heavyweight 2LP vinyl version, as you would expect, but a pricey box set edition is also available. This includes the 2LP set, a further 2LP set which duplicates precisely the content of the bonus CD from the three-CD deluxe. The triple-CD set is also included on the box, along with an etched seven-inch single of ‘She Taught Me How To Fly’.

It may also include a 32-page large format ‘photo book’, but that’s a hell of a lot of duplication in the big box and with a price-tag of over £80 it doesn’t appear great value, especially when you can buy the three-CD and the 2LP sets separately for as little as £36!

Back The Way We Came Vol. 1 2011-2021 The Best of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will be released on 11 June 2021.
