Thanks James, loved chatting with you and thanks to all your viewers for the great response and comments. We are moving into the new Microdot HQ this week and the new store will be open shortly - I'll be getting on with my next TH-cam video very soon. Thanks again.
Been to a few of Brian's talk-ins and exhibitions, but I could still listen to him all day. And yes, I have some of his works in my man cave! (reference to lock-down comments recently)
As an oasis nut…these videos are like finding tenners in your jean pockets. Such brilliant, original and interesting content that given liam and Noel are such alpha dogs are unlikely to ever tell by writing a book or something. Thanks James.
Superb video thanks James. Why didn’t Brian do the 00s era sleeves - was there a fall out? Them were shite without Brian. Those 90s singles were quality products visually and musically. Cheers
Fun fact the cover of the D’ya Know What I Mean was taken about a mile and half down the road from me. Not much of a surprise given Brian’s a Wiganer. Was funny the first time I discovered it. I was on a bus stuck in traffic just looking out of the window and I was like I know that staircase!
The video for that song was filmed at Beckton gasworks, East London. My mate lived very near there and he said he saw part of the filming. I think he said the police turned up to see what was going on!!
This is great. I used to look at the covers of these singles, with no knowledge as a young guy of 18 at the time and wonder what the fuck they were all about. 25 years later someone else about the same age somehow speaks to the guy who designed them and here I am sitting watching it. What a nice guy he is and clearly very proud of his work. And so he should be. Great that he’s shared the ideas and inspiration behind them, I really liked the inspiration for the All Around The World cover and most of us would probably never know how that came about, until now. Nice one man.
Brilliant video again James! I actually joined Brian's channel a few months ago when I watched the logo video - he is a great guy and a genius I think - some of the subtle changes that were made to the logo were great and really made a difference. Great to hear his insight into the later covers and find out all the gems of locations, actors and Easter eggs present in those covers... PS make sure you look out my email sent yesterday (18th) because there is some news in it that is timely and you'll possibly be interested in sharing here and Facebook...
Cheers Smitcher! Yeah it was amazing to talk to him - I asked him a ton of stuff about behind the scenes info too - some of that to come in a new vid soon!
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar Yeah, it's great to make these connections with the people in the know and then you get the real stories rather than the fake ones and it raises your profile in the Oasis community, opening more doors too... I've heard that debunked story about Noel and Liam turning up too late to be on the front cover of WTSMG album several times...
I love the little touches on the album and single covers that Brian did. Like Owen Morris holding up the record on the cover of the Morning Glory album. Or Brian's Dad pushing the wheelbarrow on the cover of the Some Might Say single cover.
Very interesting, thanks! Although not released in UK, did Mr Cannon have any info on the Champagne Supernova and Don't Go Away singles artwork? Also pleasantly surprised about the 'Whatever' artwork as I have the CD and I'm from Sheffield.
I thought all of them were photo-shopped and digitally created. Surprised that they actually went to a beach or went anywhere for the shots. None of the single covers looked in any way connected to the song anyway.
Fantastic video James! Such an honour to have Brian answer my question, I cannot thank you enough for all the great work you're doing with your channel
@@Microdot can’t wait Brian I’ll come up after Xmas. Want to see the Lake District in spring looks beautiful, better bring some serious dosh as I might buy the whole shop!
"Practice Party" Class lol Thanks Brian for All of the little snippets We didn't know! Again James you've managed to put up Another Quality upload! Cheers Mate 🍻
I THINK AN ALBUM SLEEVE CAN MAKE AN ALBUM, BRIANS COVERS ARE REALLY ICONIC PHOTOS, WHEN YOU SEE A BRIAN CANNON DESIGN, YOU KNOW IT'S HIS. LIKE U2 EDGES SOUND, IT'S NOONE ELSE. HIS COVERS ARE MORE LEGENDARY THAN THE MUSIC WITHIN. OASIS SLEEVES HAD A LOOK TO THEM, LIKE THE SMITHS. YOU KNOW WHO IT IS.
Unfortunately I've got a merry little troupe of trolls who I've blocked from my channel for being pricks in the comments section... so all they can do now is click dislike. And theres a few of them who do it on every video. Hope it makes them happy. They boost up my view count by doing so. Ha. Muppets.
@@JamesHargreavesGuitarunfortunately you always get jealous idiots in life. I'm glad you've blocked the dipsticks. Brilliant interview and excellent channel.
What a great video. As a fan, I love the stories behind the sleeve covers. I'm also from Wigan. I remember the D'you Know What I Mean cover was off Darlington St. East. The building the preacher was in is no longer there but the steps behind are called the Blind Steps. Bit of useless info there. Really enjoyed this vid so, again, thankyou 👍
What an awesome video, super insightful! On a totally unrelated note, are you in any way related to Andrew Hargreaves? He was the drummer for the British band I Am Kloot which I've been listening to extensively for the past couple of weeks.
Hi James! Massive thank you for making these videos. Your channel seems the best Oasis source all over the internet. So very revealing and massively informative stuff, hats off. Thanks for Brian Canon too.
Thanks James, loved chatting with you and thanks to all your viewers for the great response and comments. We are moving into the new Microdot HQ this week and the new store will be open shortly - I'll be getting on with my next TH-cam video very soon. Thanks again.

Can't wait to see the new Microdot Megastore 👍👍

Biblical!

Excellent first video Brian, I have been looking forward to the next one with great anticipation!
Feel so honoured that I asked Brian a question he's never been asked!!! This video has made my day, thank you James :)
Cheers Edb3 - yeah he was impressed with that one! Pretty cool
Yeah that was pretty cool actually, you could tell that he was impressed...
It was a really good question!
I was aware of Van Eyck’s predilection for symbolism.
As an oasis nut…these videos are like finding tenners in your jean pockets. Such brilliant, original and interesting content that given liam and Noel are such alpha dogs are unlikely to
ever tell by writing a book or something. Thanks James.
That's a great description! These video's really are like finding a tenner in your pocket.
Agreed 👍

The Don't Look Back in Anger sleeve also looks a bit like the Smiths' This Charming Man video..
Could listen to Brian’s stories all day👍🏻 Unfortunately nothing oasis did after the 90’s was as good, the music or the artwork.
Brilliant video again James!

Oh and I love the fact that Brian has 1 video on his channel and already has 5k subscribers!!
Cheers Smitcher! Yeah it was amazing to talk to him - I asked him a ton of stuff about behind the scenes info too - some of that to come in a new vid soon!

I love the single covers from the first 3 albums. Even now, if I see a cover, I know what single it is.
Ironic that the inspiration for the don’t look back in anger cover is the Beatles love for their drummer after they’d just sacked tony
Very interesting, thanks! Although not released in UK, did Mr Cannon have any info on the Champagne Supernova and Don't Go Away singles artwork?
Also pleasantly surprised about the 'Whatever' artwork as I have the CD and I'm from Sheffield.
I really want to know what the deal is with the back cover of the master plan total Shite picture
Superpanasonic

Fantastic video James! Such an honour to have Brian answer my question, I cannot thank you enough for all the great work you're doing with your channel
Cheers Will! No problem at all mate, it was a ton of fun!
WHATS EVERYONES FAVOURITE OASIS SLEEVE? I LOVE "SOME MIGHT SAY" MYSELF. IT'S REALLY FUNNY AND IRONIC IF YOU KNOW THE STORY BEHIND IT.
Whatever is my favourite.
Awesome vid again. And yeah the later sleeves really are not as good and lack the character and imagination.
Met Brian a few weeks ago at the watch show absolutely top man! Definitely going to Kendal to the new art installation cannot wait
Hi Chris, look forward to seeing you up in the new space - been moving in this week, it's looking mega!

You should do a video in his shop in Kendal, love going there for a look at the memorabilia.
You know what, you have done some fantastic videos, but this could well be my favourite! 👌
a hanger on saying there were no hanger ons... just him and his family and his mates..... I think Tony had a point...
Bloody brilliant and what a top bloke Brian is - thank you for making something that was interesting, engaging and very amusing as well - thank you

Love it! What a top video! Wonder if he still designs band art (maybe get him for the next release… hint hint)
lived in Wigan all my life, need to go and find these locations now! 😁Cheers guys.✌
Which sad act gave this video a thumbs down?

wow. i never knew that the cover for all around the world was shot on the beach ive gone to for all of my life.
That was excellent. Thanks.
I’m starting to feel the irresistible pull of that inner circle deal!!
Glad to hear it!
Hope to see you inside 👍👍
You don't miss mate. 👍

we need to hear about the verve artwork
🤣 cracking vid.
Finally, the lowdown on where, what, who, plus other nuggets.
Thanks guys, off to play my playlist. 🙏
Hi James! Massive thank you for making these videos. Your channel seems the best Oasis source all over the internet. So very revealing and massively informative stuff, hats off. Thanks for Brian Canon too.
What a legend
Inside info, brill 😊 really interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the videos mate
Matlock Bath - wow!
Has anybody ever said you look a bit like Tyson Fury.
Hahahahahahaha no I get told I look like Bonehead usually - but I'll take looking like Tyson Fury! He's a cool bastard
I don't see the resemblance to Tyson Fury??
Didn't Noel then wear the Roll With It duffle coat the next night at Glastonbury?
So great! Brilliant mate just brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it
Always believed it was Lisa Moorish speaking at the end of Fade Away...
Brilliant, I've got definitely maybe singed by Mr Cannon!
Great video. I love this stuff. This just might be my favourite channel on the internet.
What a great video. Definitely some easter eggs I hadn't spotted in those sleeves before!
Phenomenal video, fucking biblical.
I didn't know this version of "Fade away", thanks.
Also, donated to gofundme but it didn’t ask for me name… hopefully you got it
This channel couldn't possibly be any better
I didnt know brian was from Wigan,im a wiganer myself
Really interesting great video James ❤️
This is great I remember that Softmints advert as a kid 😄
This was amazing!! Brilliant James!
What a fantastic video such a great insight
Brilliant mate thanks for this!
Bravo 👏 another great video
Brilliant, iconic work!
This is great 👍
You have great content, but by god man get a better microphone and sound deadening surfaces in your room.
