  • More than 100 hours of Oasis recordings are scheduled for auction on October 3.
  • The tapes were made by sound engineer Huw Richards between 1994 and 2001 and are being sold by his son, Owain Richards.
  • The collection could fetch up to £1.7 million, or nearly 14 million Danish kroner, after talks with the band’s management failed to secure the tapes’ return.

More than 100 hours of Oasis concert and rehearsal recordings are due to be auctioned on October 3, despite objections from band members Liam and Noel Gallagher.

The collection was recorded by Oasis sound engineer Huw Richards between 1994 and 2001. His son, Owain Richards, is selling the tapes.

Owain Richards previously said he had been in contact with Oasis management. The band wanted the recordings returned rather than sold, but those discussions ended without an agreement.

The recordings are now expected to raise up to £1.7 million, equivalent to nearly 14 million Danish kroner.
