Oasis 'stop sale of unheard recordings'
Reformed rockers Oasis have sued to stop the sale of a trove of previously unreleased recordings from their 1990s heyday which included 63 live shows, soundchecks and more than 100 hours of rehearsal tapes featuring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
The Gallagher brothers resorted to the High Court against the band's former sound engineer to stop the sale of "The Desk Tapes" over 100 hours of unreleased recordings from the 1990s.
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ko Il-hwan = An auction for unreleased recordings by Oasis, the representative British Britpop band, has been halted.
Recordings of tours, rehearsals and studio recordings are always a treasure for fans of musicians. One such should now be made accessible to well- clothed fans of Oasis in an auction. But Noel and Liam Gallagher have something against it.
In fact, previously unpublished Oasis recordings were to be auctioned for up to 1.6 million pounds on October 3rd. Now Noel and Liam Gallagher have taken legal action. The so-called "Desk Tapes" were taken from an auction at short notice.
