==Pre-release==
A handful of fans-only private screenings took place around the world  with the world premiere of the film at the Directors Guild Theater in [[New York City]] on 4 November 2006 as part of the CMJ Film Festival.  The UK television premiere was on [[Channel 4]] on 19 November, at 11:50pm, although it was a heavily edited version with approximately 40 minutes cut from the original 95 minute version.  The film was unveiled to coincide with Oasis' [[greatest hits|compilation]] album ''[[Stop the Clocks]]'', released on 20 November 2006. A preview of the film was included on the [[Let There Be Love (2005 song)|Let There Be Love]] DVD single, released in November 2005.

The film features a new Oasis song also called "[[Lord Don't Slow Me Down (song)|Lord Don't Slow Me Down]]", written by [[Noel Gallagher]] and recorded during the [[Don't Believe the Truth]] sessions, Gallagher described it as being ''"one of the best things, like [[The Who]], [[The Yardbirds]] and [[the Jeff Beck Group]] combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!"''.   He has also said that his girlfriend thought it was the only Oasis song you could dance to.  The song was left off ''Don't Believe the Truth'' because Gallagher felt that including it would have meant he'd have been singing too many songs on the record. Italian footballer  [[Alessandro Del Piero]] also appears in the video signing a shirt for Noel.
