拍品专文

As Peter Doggett observes in his review of this material, this notebook gives a fascinating insight into Oasis' repertoire and Noel's detailed plans for the band's future, at around the time that they signed to Creation Records in 1993. Several of the potential track listings are almost identical to the band's first full-length demo tape, recorded in Spring 1993, at the Real People's studio in Liverpool - it was this eight-track demo tape which is said to have finally clinched the band a deal with Creation, and which enables us to date this material to this period.

One set of lyrics for an unreleased song Is That A Fact? reflects the sometimes bitter relationship between the two Gallagher brothers, the lyrics beginning: Alright Im Going Home, Don't Want To Hear Your Voice No More...What's That You Say? You Never Liked Me Anyway!?/Is That A Fact? Well I Dont Care What You Need Is A Real Good Hiding Coz With You Ive Been Siding All My Life I Know Your My Brother, But Only Because You Came From My Mother Time And Time And Time Again, Ive Seen What Your Really Like...
