OASIS "SUPERSONIC" - 1994 12" VINYL SINGLE - CRE 176T 'Supersonic' - Mint Unplayed Vinyl - Sleeve Near Mint Released: 11 April 1994 - 12" CRE 176T Written by Noel Gallagher "Supersonic" was released as the first single from their debut album Definitely Maybe on 11 April 1994.

"Supersonic" - 4:43
"Take Me Away" - 4:30
"I Will Believe" (live) - 3:46

The song peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Charts, Oasis's lowest-peaking single. However, over time it has amassed sales of over 215,000, making it their 13th biggest selling single ever in the UK, even outselling their 2002 number one "The Hindu Times". "Supersonic" was also the band's first single to chart in the United States, where it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on 10 December 1994. The song was performed by the band on their debut national TV performance on Channel 4's The Word. It remains a favourite song of both the band and their fans (on the Definitely Maybe DVD, Noel cites it as his favourite Oasis song). The single went silver in the UK in 2006. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Supersonic" at number 20 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Supersonic" at number 25 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. Despite the popularity of "Supersonic", Gallagher says the song is basically a collection of nonsense lyrics written in a matter of minutes at The Pink Museum recording studio in Liverpool. Oasis had failed to record a demo for "Bring It On Down", so Gallagher went into a room and wrote "Supersonic" in about 30 minutes."Supersonic" impressed everyone so much that it was chosen to be the band's first single. The identity of "Elsa" has caused confusion. The lyrics say: She done it with a doctor/On a helicopter/she sniffin' in a tissue/Sellin' the Big Issue. (Gallagher has remarked: "Someone told me "Supersonic" was about teenage prostitution. Shit!".) It has since been revealed that Elsa was a nine-stone rottweiler with a flatulence problem. The dog was in the studio on the day the song was written, hence the line "she's into Alka Seltzer". Gallagher has said in interviews that "Supersonic's" rhythm guitar part was not a deliberate copy of the intro to George Harrison's 1971 single "My Sweet Lord". Oasis recorded two videos for the song, for UK and US release. The UK version features the band playing on a roof, similar to The Beatles' rooftop concert. The US version features outer space views, the band in a car, big toy dinosaurs, and the band performing the song in a dark room. In a 2009 interview with the Dutch radio station 3FM, Gallagher said that after "Supersonic" was written and recorded, he and the rest of the band gathered at guitarist Paul Arthurs' house as the song played at a certain time on BBC Radio 1.
