Johnny Depp actually played the slide guitar
on Fade In-Out because Noel couldn't do it! The album was produced, as
usual, by Noel Gallagher and Owen Morris. Noel scrapped plans for the album
to be a double album because he feared that the record company would rip
the fans off by charging too much for it. The cover for the album was shot
in Herts, England, the cover is very puzzling. Some say it's as puzzling
as The Beatles 'Abbey Road' album. For more info on the cover itself click
