Description
Back in 1993, before Oasis became famous, they made about 8 or 9 live demo tapes which they sent to various record companies and/or gave to music producers, in the hope that someone would like their music and give them a record deal. In about 1996, I was lucky enough to pick up one at Christie's auction for about £150. The Christie's sticker is till on the case (see photo). Although it is not signed by the band, it is extremely rare, with as I said, no more than 10 in existance. There are 8 tracks and one of the songs (Strange Thing) has never been released or featured on any of their albums or singles; not even as a b-side; so it is incredibly rare. The songs are as follows:
- Cloudburst
- Columbia
- D'yer wanna be a Spaceman?
- Strange Thing
- Bring it on Down
- Married with Children
- Fade Away
- Rock 'n' Roll Star
There is NO RESERVE!!!!! Just in case it is of any importance to anyone, the tape itself is a Maxell SXII 46 with a tinted oval window cassette shell. I would appreciate it if the winner could pay me by paypal and I do reserve the right to withdraw the lisitng before the end of the auction should I recieve a higher bid from someone outside of ebay.

The case it came in is slightly cracked (not done by me) but still very usable. I ve plyed the tape once and the rest of the time it has been lying about my bedrooom.
Dont hesitate to email if you ahve any questions,
many regards,
