The above video was originally edited together over a year ago but never uploaded due to copyright issues. The audio is taken from the Classic Singles series that featured on BBC Radio 2. It's an excellent look back at the making of the single and it's impact at the time.
"I think the working title of this was Wishing Stone for a long time, which to think about it now is nonsense." ~ Noel Gallagher, Time Flies 1994-2009
"...originally Liam was the person seen through the picture frame. I had sent a message to Marcus Russell, Oasis’s manager, to tell him and Noel about the shoot, a message he obviously didn’t receive. Mid shoot, and this is totally true, Noel just happened purely by chance to be passing in a taxi!! Next thing you know an irate Noel Gallagher jumps out the taxi which screeched to halt and shouted ‘What the fuck’s going on here?’ he put a halt to proceedings saying it had to be a girl in the shot!" ~ Brian Cannon, Art director.
The girl that appears on the cover is Creation Records employee Anita Heryet, who was asked to stand in as cover star for the shot.Noel debuted the song on UK TV, backstage at Glastonbury and broadcast on Channel 4 on 24 June 1995. The song wasn't performed by the band during their headline performance the night before.
