Many Thanks. I talk with the seller, he gave me his most lower price, £3000 + postage. The question is: We continue?

£3000 is a lot. That is the highest for any tape that has appeared. Personally, and I know it is a “holy grail” item it is too highly priced.

Would the seller negotiate over the price and if so a time period granted to raise funds without anyone just buying it outright and no one hearing it.

I think the best thing to do is open it up to other fan forums, Oasis Facebook groups and Twitter accounts to let fans know and hopefully it would gather support for funds raised.

Does anyone know how different these mixes are from the ones already around, like on the Lost Tapes etc?

I know. The inicial price was £5000. When I started negotiations I knew that I would not get much, but I did it because I would have nothing to lose

I can negotiate with the seller but setting up a fund to do a bid. Actually, the tape is not in ebay (although the seller have a account) that give us some time

If we have the guys support we can open it up to other fan forums. Can you create a thread (if you take a chance on it) in Live4ever? Someone can do the same in Oasismania? Someone here with a paypal account for this? Where's Mark? The sale came from the AnythingOasis group, for that reason we can't use facebook.

Mr. Monobrow answered that -some time ago-: 

I asked the seller for information on the contents of the tape and he revealed that track 2 (entitled 'Take Me - Original Mix + Sirens') is the same as Demo 1 available on this website, but includes air-raid sirens at the beginning. He also revealed that track 1 (entitled 'Take Me - Bass Boost + Sirens') is "basically the same as the other one but with 'bass boost'.

[schorman]

This is an interesting lot. I really don't think the tape, by itself is worth the asking price. This track already circulates, and I'm not sure a bass boost makes the alternate version appealing enough to pay that price.

As a historical piece, though, this is a pretty interesting collection. It's the very dawn of Oasis's career.

Guys,

Is there interest in this? There is not much of a reaction on here but that could be down to how quiet it has been over the last few months....

@noelsoasis joakim you’ve both been involved with higher level collections. What do you think of the situation?

I think one thing to ask from the seller would be a sample of the tapes quality, to guarantee it is listenable and is not degraded and untransferable. It is too much money to spend without knowing those facts.

[Jim]

I’d also make a thread on L4E no problem but I think a structure has to be in place before doing so.

Audio samples from the seller
A final price agreed
Time period to collect the money
Guarantee tape won’t be sold privately at very short / no notice

Who is collecting the money
Who is transferring the tape
What happens to the cassette afterwards

It is a lot of money to raise for only two songs but as schorman has said, it is the dawn of Oasis career....

[noelsoasis]

Not worth it in my opinion. That's a crazy amount of money for 2 tracks. We paid half that for the 1993 demo tape. Whoever pays that has more money then sense I'm afraid.

[schorman]

I kind of agree. It's worth discussing this discrepancy with the seller and gauging their thoughts, at least.

[Jim]

The tape is on eBay

rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153407599653

[noelsoasis]

£3,000.00 that's a bloody joke! That's like $5,500 AUD OR $4000 USD. The seller is living in a fantasy world. I think we should all save our money incase something more worthwhile pops up in the future.
