Oasis reportedly dispute auction of rare concert master recordings

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleOasis are reportedly opposing a planned auction featuring 63 concert master recordings and over 100 hours of rehearsal audio captured by their former sound engineer between 1994 and 2001. The archive, compiled by Huw Richards, carries a guide price of between £1.2m and £1.6m and is set to be auctioned by Littleton Auctions on 3 October. Included in the collection is candid dialogue between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, alongside what is believed to be the only existing recording of the band's 1996 Loch Lomond performance. Owain Richards, the son of the former sound engineer, indicated that Oasis's management previously entered talks to retrieve the tapes and want the material back in their own possession. Littleton Auctions confirmed the band's concerns but maintained the sale is legal, noting that any buyer cannot commercialise the recordings without consent as Oasis hold the intellectual property rights.
