Oasis have taken legal action to stop the sale of a collection of unheard recordings, including candid conversations between Noel and Liam Gallagher, that had been expected to sell for up to £1.6 million, according to The Guardian.
The collection, compiled by the band's former sound engineer, Huw Richards, included 63 live shows and hours of rehearsal recordings in addition to the private conversations between the two brothers. It had been listed for auction by Littleton Auctions in Worcestershire, England, in September, with a guide price of between £1.2 million and £1.6 million.
Following legal action from the band, the collection has been pulled from the auction. The Guardian's report did not specify the precise legal grounds cited by Oasis, though disputes over ownership and rights to unreleased recordings are common in cases involving material compiled by former band associates or employees.
The withdrawal halts, at least for now, what would have been a significant sale of previously unreleased material from the band's history, including intimate exchanges between its two most prominent members.
It remains unclear whether the collection will be offered for sale again in the future or what the dispute's ultimate resolution will be.
