EARLY OASIS DEMONSTRATION CASSETTE TAPE (c.1991) From the Patricia Connolly Collection An early Oasis demonstration cassette tape, comprising a handwritten cassette labelled simply “OASIS” and bearing the Manchester telephone number 061 224 9821, understood to have been the contact number used by guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs during the band's formative Manchester period. The tape is offered with provenance from Patricia Connolly, who states that it was given to her directly by Paul Arthurs during 1991, shortly after Liam Gallagher joined the group as vocalist. According to the vendor, the cassette was used by the band for promotional and booking purposes when seeking live performances prior to their commercial breakthrough. The vendor further recalls attempting to secure a performance for Oasis at Liverpool Polytechnic, with the cassette forming part of the material circulated in support of the band during their earliest years. Early Oasis promotional and recording material from the pre-fame era is exceptionally scarce, particularly items with direct provenance to founding band members. The cassette retains its original handwritten label and period telephone number, offering a fascinating glimpse into Oasis before their rise to international success. A rare and historically important piece of early Oasis history, originating from the band's formative Manchester years.
