Oasis raise concerns over auction of unheard recordings archive
The archive includes 63 concert recordings and more than 100 hours of rehearsals, while Oasis has raised concerns over the sale.
- Littleton Auctions plans to sell 63 Oasis concert recordings and rehearsals on October 3, though the band has "expressed concerns" regarding the archive's sale.
- Former sound engineer Huw Richards gathered the collection, dubbed The Desk Tapes, between the band's 1994 debut Definitely Maybe and 2001, recording directly from the sound desk during their mid-1990s peak.
- Littleton Auctions describes the trove as "the only master archive of its kind in existence," featuring "standout items" including Adidas Kegler Super Ostrich trainers—one of only 100 pairs ever produced.
- Owain Richards, son of the late engineer, claims the band wants the trove "back in their possession," though Littleton Auctions maintains the sale is legal as Oasis retains intellectual property rights.
- Following their 2025 reunion and amid rumors of 2027 tour dates, Littleton Auctions characterizes the event as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity for fans and collectors alike.
