More than 100 hours of private and performance recordings from Oasis are heading to auction, despite objections from the band. The archive captures concerts, rehearsals, soundchecks and candid conversations between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.
The recordings were amassed by Huw Richards, Oasis’s sound engineer from the release of the band’s 1994 debut album, Definitely Maybe, until 2001. The material offers an audio record of the group’s work during that period, from performances to moments away from the stage.
The collection consists of 209 DAT tapes, 73 analogue cassettes and three MiniDiscs. It is being sold by Richards’s son, Owain, and has been estimated at up to £1.6 million.
