Hi Everyone
Something has popped up which could be of interest. Someone is selling some stuff from Noel's house in Chafont St Giles that has been thrown out. Included in this lot is a CD of of Gem's demos from 2007 and a cassette tape of demos from 1998 i believe. There are also some other things like oasis radio session tapes, some vhs stuff and tour itineraries and magazines and documents.
Gem's Demo CD has the following track list.
Standing on the Edge of the Noise Mindfield Feel The Roller Ballroom Figured In Our Bubble
1998 Demo Tape
Revolution Song Full On Make Believe
Here are just a few photos of the items. (much more stuff is included)
It would be good to get a donation fund going to buy these items, but it seems like it's cash on pick up deal and the items are located in Buckinghamshire so if anyone lives close that could make the deal please PM me. Price is not set yet.
Seen this on Facebook a few weeks ago, guy wanted to sell the demos as a lot back then with some stuff we already have for a lotta money, how much is it now? I'll be more than happy to donate when I get paid
I'm in too, if anyone does contact Mark about a potential pick up i'll be glad to chip in.
Like Jim says it's been a while since we had any new rarities, be great to get something new out there.
Interesting to see that Ballroom Figured dates back to 2007. Presumably 'In Our Bubble' was the genesis for 'In The Bubble With A Bullet'. All 5 tracks obviously rejected by Noel for seeing a release by Oasis though, even if full band recordings exist (we do know Oasis demoed The Roller). Tend to think these will be all Gem on vocals but you never know...
I could also put the money forth to help secure this, and we could organize the donations afterwards when the downloads and content is shared on here. That is if we get this moving in time. I will pass Buckinghamshire by train on Sunday, and don't mind the detour
