Noel Gallagher: 1989 Demo Tape (Noel's Songs)

TREON259

Noel Gallagher's pre-Oasis demo tape. Recorded in 1989 it contains five songs none of which have ever been officially released.

Background:
Before joining Oasis in 1991, Noel Gallagher was a budding young songwriter.  Noel has claimed to have been writing songs since his early teens, which would have been around 1980.  In the late 80’s, Noel made home demos of some of the songs he had written since then, including what he claims was the first song he’d ever wrote, called ‘Baj’. These songs were then put onto cassette and given to friends to demonstrate what he was capable of.
The first tape, which contained eight tracks believed to have been recorded by Noel sometime in 1988, was put up for auction at Christies in London on the 30th April 1998, but failed to sell as the highest bid of £3,400 was too low.  It was apparently sold privately at a later date. The second tape, which contained five tracks, was believed to been recorded by Noel and a friend of his called Pete in 1989. Only one track, ‘But What If…’, was previously unknown to Oasis fans, with the other four songs being on the 1988 tape, although it’s unknown if the recordings are exactly the same. A couple of friends of the seller of the tape appeared on alt.music.oasis on the 26th July 2001 gauging possible demand for a private sale. They claimed It had gone up for auction at Christies at an earlier date but didn’t sell.
In June 2006, this tape was put up for sale on eBay but was later sold privately. Clips from all five songs were made available to this site as evidence of the tapes authenticity. The tape was purchased by a consortium of Oasis fans with the explicit agreement that the contents of the tape would be made publicly available and that the tape would later be returned to Noel as a goodwill gesture as fans weren’t sure if an original copy of these songs were held in his archives, and did not wish to profit from his unreleased material. The tape was sent to his management company, Ignition. source

Notes:
The download contains both FLAC and mp3 versions of the tape.

Update 18/12/23:
I've remastered these tracks and are available to download below. The download contains both FLAC and mp3 versions of the remaster.


Tracklist:
01 - What's It Got To Do With You
02 - Hey You
03 - What's Been Happenin'
04 - But What If...
05 - Gotta Have Fun

Oasis: The Sawmills Sessions (2023 TREON Remaster)

TREON287

Nine tracks from the Sawmills studio sessions for the Oasis album Definitely Maybe. Contains the unused studio version of "I Am The Walrus".
 
Notes:
After previously posting The Sawmill Sessions on the blog, I was contacted by a fan who kindly donated the wav files for these sessions. Although these tracks are the highest quality available it does appear that at some point along the chain these files were converted to a lossy format. I thought I would do my best to fix this by putting the tracks though a delossifier before remastering them.

Tracklist:
01 - Cigarettes & Alcohol (Mix)
02 - Digsy's Dinner (Mix)
03 - Bring It On Down
04 - Up In The Sky
05 - Rock 'n' Roll Star
06 - Live Forever
07 - Columbia
08 - Slide Away
09 - I Am The Walrus

Q Lazzarus: Goodbye Horses Collection

TREON282
A collection of singles, b-sides and demos from Q Lazzarus.
 
Notes:
Diane Luckey (1960-2022), known professionally as Q Lazzarus. A mysterious singer who is most well-known for the song "Goodbye Horses," which featured first in the 1988 film Married To The Mob and then again (and most famously) in the 1991 film The Silence Of The Lambs. She has also contributed music to the films Philadelphia and Something Wild. To this day, not much is known about her or her backing band, but Goodbye Horses has become a cult classic.
 
This collections is made up of two singles; tracks found on the original 1991 12" Single and 2017 Goodbye Horses EP. Track four is taken from the compilation Retro:Active2 (Rare & Remixed) which was released in 2004. I far as I can tell this is the first time the Extended Version appeared on CD (it also featured on the soundtrack to Clarks II but not until 2006). It has a different sound to the source used for track one (I suspect track one is a remaster or a new source as it's the clearest version I've heard to date). Track four sounds like it may have been a rip from the 12" Single.

Tracklist:
01 - Goodbye Horses (Extended Version #1)
02 - Goodbye Horses (7'' Version)
03 - White Lines (B-side)
04 - Goodbye Horses (Extended Version #2)
05 - Goodbye Horses (Single Edit)
06 - Goodbye Horses (Demo 1)
07 - Goodbye Horses (Demo 2)
08 - Tears of Fear (Demo)
09 - Transformation (Demo)
10 - Love Dance (Demo)

The Verve: Live At Pinkpop Festival 1998

TREON281
The Verve perform live at Pinkpop Festival,  Landgraaf, Netherlands. 01.06.98.

Notes:
I originally uploaded a version of this performance back in 2020 as part of a Deluxe Edition of  The Urban Hymns Sessions but when I updated that post after finding a Flac version of the session tracks I removed the Pinkpop performance as I wasn't really happy with the sound quality. The removed version was edited together from two different sources; the first was the bootleg Pinkpop People (which contained only 9 of the 14 tracks) and the second was a download from the livebootlegconcert blogspot, which was complete but lacked the sound quality of the Pinkpop People bootleg. This week I was able to find a new source for the whole performance which is complete and sounds a lot better than previous versions.

Tracklist:
01 - This Is Music
02 - Space And Time
03 - Catching The Butterfly
04 - Sonnet
05 - The Rolling People
06 - Neon Wilderness
07 - Weeping Willow
08 - The Drugs Don't Work
09 - Lucky Man
10 - Life's An Ocean
11 - Velvet Morning
12 - Bitter Sweet Symphony
13 - History
14 - Come On

Oasis: Stop The Clocks (Instrumentals) Promo

TREON279
A very rare promo CD issued to TV and Radio stations to use as promotion for the Best Of album Stop The Clocks. The CD contains a number of very rare instrumentals including The Masterplan and Go Let It Out. The Definitely Maybe era songs are mainly taken from the Safety Copy of Masters 4 CD set.

Notes:
I've had this one knocking around for a while (I think I originally downloaded it back in 2012). Some of the tracks were very quiet and couple of then had a few problems. For example; the beginning of The Masterplan was cut off and the stuck on the end of the track for some reason and the intro to Live Forever was missing. I've corrected those glitches and made the whole album a bit louder. I've also added some instrumentals from various "Don't Believe The Truth" promos.

Tracklist:
01 - Slide Away
02 - Rock 'n' Roll Star 
03 - Some Might Say
04 - Cigarettes & Alcohol
05 - The Masterplan
06 - Go Let It Out
07 - Supersonic
08 - Live Forever
09 - Songbird
10 - Lyla
11 - The Importance Of Being Idle

Extras (DBTT Promos):
01 - Lyla
02 - Love Like A Bomb
03 - Importance of Being Idle
04 - The Meaning of Soul
05 - Guess God Thinks I'm Abel
06 - Part Of The Queue
07 - Let There Be Love

Oasis: Definitely Later... (Live On Jools Holland 94/95)

 

TREON277
 

Oasis perform live on the TV show "Later... with Jools Holland" in 1994 and in 1995 (without Liam). Plus three performances fron the TV show "The White Room" from 1995.

Notes:
Although a lot of these tracks have already appeared on the blog I hadn't grouped them together before. Some tracks have new and improved sources (i.e. "(It's Good) To Be Free" comes from a promo source not used before) while others have been re-edited to include intros and longer outtros. Also included is the instrumental demo of Listen Up recorded at Maison Rouge Studios in July 1994. Not every track comes from a lossless source but seven out of the ten do so I thought it was worth making it available in Flac too.

Tracklist:
01 - Sad Song (06.12.94)
02 - Whatever (06.12.94)
03 - I Am The Walrus (06.12.94)
04 - Cum On Feel The Noize (28.11.95)
05 - Wonderwall (28.11.95)
06 - Round Are Way (28.11.95)
07 - Acquiesce (The White Room 14.04.95)
08 - (It's Good) To Be Free (The White Room 14.04.95)
09 - Talk Tonight with Paul Weller (The White Room 14.04.95)
10 - Listen Up (Demo)
