Hello everyone,
We - Jim , mexo2418 , noelsoasis and myself - are trying to get donations in for the lot of items we recently purchased collectively, and we want your help. Details on all items in the lot can be seen in the post below this, but in short it includes unheard Gem 2007 demos, some unheard Oasis studio takes from Maison Rouge 1994 and a lot of radio and VHS stuff. The more donations we get, the faster we can move on to the next project of finding material.
So - please read through this FAQ, and ask if you have any questions. I will update this first post when material/link is available, and with status of donations.

FAQ:
Why should I donate?
To help pay for the actual cost of buying this material. Noone is making money off this, and the time and effort spent transfering, sourcing, cleaning, uploading and sharing is something we all do for free.
Who are you, and why should I trust you?
This lot and this donation is being organized by Jim (who used to run the legedary rkid001-blog), noelsoasis (Mark who runs SupernovaHeights forum and other projects), mexo2418 (Daniel from Mexico who runs WIS bootlegs, and know from various forums) and Joakim (runs OasisArchive, Cloudburst and other projects). Collectively we have given a lot to the community before, and hopefully we can continue to do so in the future. We have all been involved in official projects (such as the Supersonic film), and hopefully our name and reputation needs no further introduction.
How much should I donate?
However much you want. £5, £10. More, less. All donations are welcome.
Will anyone be making money off this?
No. All money goes towards paying down this lot (currently taking a toll on my Mastercard) and hosting. In the event that the full cost (£750, to be modest) is reached, the rest will be saved for our next buy.
So.. When will these be uploaded?
All material will be online this coming weekend. Check this post for updates and more accurate info. We are all working very hard on transfering and making sure the links are working and that the material is cleaned up and in the best quality possible.
Will the downloads be open to everyone, or just people who donated?
Anyone can download. Even if you did not donate. The people who donated will however receive e-mails of future uploads from other stuff we're transfering, and possibly other material we find. They will also be thanked in this thread and on OasisArchive.
Why should I donate if the material will be available anyway
Good question. If anything to ensure that this kind of material can (and will) be shared amongst fans in the future as well. All of this has a cost for someone, if the concept of fans getting together and buying these items work, the chance is better for it to be organized again in the future, so that we can all enjoy it. Also, take into account all of the other material the four of us have shared in the past (on rkid001-blog, SupernovaHeights and OasisArchive) and even if you don't feel this particular lot if worth; consider making a small donation to ensure we can continue. In the past I've shared demos, soundchecks and footage that I've previously bought personally without asking anything in return. Check oasisarchive.com for previous work.
Where did this lot come from?
Stuff Noel threw away, that someone kept onto for a few years, before passing on to a friend, who in turn sold it to us. The stuff was in a rather rough condition, with some of the tapes needing cleaning before transfering.
What about the 1998 3-track demo tape said to be in this lot?
Well, unfortunately the actual tape in the case did not match the index-card, or the brand/tape-length for that matter - so that tape is believed lost. Tracklisting: "Revolution Song" / "Full On" / "Make Believe". However, two out of three tracks on this are believed to be the demos circulating, so the only unheard demo would've likely been "Full On". If it's ever found, this will be shared/uploaded as well of course.
