Oasis sue to halt auction of unheard recordings

Thursday, 1 October 2026, 06:14 · 1 min read

A collection of unreleased Oasis recordings, including 63 live shows and private conversations between Noel and Liam Gallagher, was withdrawn from an English auction after the band sued the seller and his father, former Oasis sound engineer Huw Richards. Littleton Auctions in Worcestershire had listed the tapes with a guide price of £1.2m to £1.6m; the seller, Owain Richards, says the sale is postponed while the dispute is resolved. The case highlights how band-held intellectual property rights can limit what buyers can do with such archives, even as Oasis enjoy renewed attention after their 2025 reunion tour.
