You'll be able to buy Oasis' Dig Out Your Soul in four different formats when the band's Big Brother Records releases it on Oct. 7.

The album was produced by Dave Sardy (Badly Drawn Boy, The Dandy Warhols) at London, England's Abbey Road Studios and will be available as a single CD, a collector's edition box set, a digipack and on vinyl.

A limited number of the box sets will be sold through Oasis' official website and selected record stores. It will include the album, a bonus nine-track CD, a DVD with more bonus materials, both CDs in vinyl format, a code to download the album as an MP3 and a 24-page hardback book. Oasis have signed 20 copies that will be sold at random through their site.

Here's a video Oasis posted of the box set on YouTube:

You can buy the album as a digipack that also includes the DVD. Alternatively, if you'd rather have everything on wax, you can get Dig Out Your Soul on double heavyweight vinyl. It will also be digitally released through iTunes.

Noel Gallagher has shared his thoughts about Sunday's attack at Toronto's Virgin Festival in which a man got on stage and knocked him over, bruising his hip and ribs. This forced the band to postpone a London, Ont. show scheduled for Sept. 9 to Dec. 15.

"I'll have to stop this prophesising. I knew something was going to happen last night. I said I had a bad feeling, didn't I!?" Gallagher wrote on his blog on Sept. 9.

"Someone, who can only be described as a 'Canadian' was able to get onstage, somehow managed to evade our crack security team (Trotters Independent Security Service) and assaulted my mid-riff. Can't say much more than that as the 'perpetrator's' gonna get the book thrown at him. Repeatedly. It was all going so well up until that point'n'all. Feel like I've had a sparring session with [British boxer] Ricky Hatton.

"Still, we'll probably get an extra couple of days in NYC. Every cloud, eh?"

Ryan Adams, who had been opening for Oasis with his band The Cardinals on their Canadian tour, weighed in a bit more about the attack on his blog on Sept. 9.

"the world needs OASIS and so do cardinals and violent acts of madness are just so ridiculous and don't belong in public theater or anywhere for that if you can help it really. but that is the world isn't it."
