Noel Gallagher's Studio To Be Sold
Place where Oasis recorded 'Heathen Chemistry' up for grabs
The recording studio where Oasis recorded their ‘Heathen Chemistry’ album in 2002, is being sold.
Wheeler End Studio had been on long-term let to Noel Gallagher, who had invited friends such as The Coral and Ian Brown to record there.
The studio, located in Buckinghamshire, has also been used by the likes of George Harrison, Robbie Williams and Paul Weller.
The studio has a price tag of £3.9 million and the owner, Suzanne Lee, former wife of blues rocker Alvin Lee, is hoping a buyer will buy it to and continue to put it to recording use.
"After 27 years of running the studio, I am incredibly attached to Wheeler End, so selling it hasn’t been the easiest of decisions to make,” she said.
“But the time has come to move on. What I want more than anything else is to see it sold to someone who intends to carry on using it as a recording studio and to preserve its amazing heritage and atmosphere.”

Liam Gallagher Is BB Fan, Claims Appleton
Nicole Appleton has revealed that her boyfriend Liam Gallagher is a fan of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack and regularly watches the programme.
"Liam wanted to come but he had to look after our son," declared Tuesday's celebrity hijacker. She then admitted that the Oasis frontman "is a big fan of the show and he is watching".
"No way!" boomed John. "Would he do Celebrity Big Brother?"
"Absolutely not," she replied.
Earlier, Nathan joked with the All Saints singer about becoming her 'toyboy'. He asked Appleton how old she was, to which she answered: "I'm not proud of my age. I'm 33 - I'm so not my age."
"I think 21 is the perfect toyboy age," Nathan quipped, referring to himself.

Oh Boy, Oasis Are Back
Details of the new Oasis album, which is currently being mixed in LA, have leaked.
According to a studio spy, the follow-up to Don't Believe The Truth opens with a Liam Gallagher-penned acoustic track 'Boy With The Blues', tipped to be the first single.
As promised the boys have gone seriously orchestral on the rest of the record, particularly on 'To Love' sung by 40 year-old Noel and two more efforts from Liam, 35 'Guess I'm Out Of Time' and 'Evil Eye'.
But the set highlight promises to be Noel's epic 'I Wanna Live In A Dream With My Record Machine', complete with three guitar solos.

Noel Gallagher Thinks He's Colossal, It's Jersey Budd
A few months ago I posted on up and coming Leicester musician Jersey Budd who was inspired by his fathers love of Dylan, Springsteen, Lou Reed, Cat Stevens, Paul Weller, and also later captivated by Oasis, Jersey picked up a guitar as a teenager and taught himself to play.
The result is a collection of classically crafted songs, shaped by his peers, yet effortlessly his own; his unique voice, soul, and talent for a melody having led to Jersey being tipped as one to watch after only a handful of gigs, albeit supporting Kasabian, The Enemy, The Rifles and Hard Fi.
Jersey is currently recording his debut album in Leicester after the instant sell out of his debut single in August. His 2nd single is due out Jan 2008. Listen out for him and watch him grow.
Tipped for great future in the UK newspapers and music magazines at the turn of the year, is this is the year Jersey takes his place on the top of the UK music scene?
Noel Gallagher (OASIS) "Jersey is colossal and he's going to be huge next year."
Serge Pizzorno (KASABIAN) "Great voice and a great talent."
The Sun "A plumber by day, Jersey is set to kiss kitchen sinks goodbye with his gravelly tones and Dylanesque guitar. This boy is going to be as big as fellow Leicester lads Kasabian."
The Daily Star "Budd’s Bruce Springsteen vocals and guitar pop will be a winner in ’08."
NME "Jersey has KOKO eating out of his guitar hardened hands, storming through Oasis go honky tonk rollock rockers like Shotgun Times to nothing less than adulation"
Tom (THE ENEMY) "Jersey's got one of the best f##king voices I've ever heard"
Leicester Mercury "There are loads of male singer/songwriters out there at the moment, and there will be the inevitable comparisons with James Blunt, Paulo Nutini and James Morrison, but the truth is, he's nothing like them."

Top Ten Biggest Album Flops
Number 2: Oasis: Be Here Now (1997)
The unbelievably hyped follow-up to (What's The Story) Morning Glory was a monumental disappointment. Overblown and badly produced, music writer Jon Savage has commented that "it killed Britpop" while Noel Gallagher himself described Be Here Now as "... the sound of a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a f**k".
See the full top ten including U2,Bob Dylan, Guns N' Roses, Madonna, Robbie Williams and The Spice Girls here.

Music Legends Back Afflecks
The campaign to save Afflecks Palace has been backed by some of Britain's biggest music legends.
Members of Manchester supergroups Oasis, Happy Mondays, New Order and the Inspiral Carpets joined other prominent music figures and called on the whole city to stop the legendary northern quarter bazaar from closing its doors for the final time.
"It would be a total crime to let Afflecks close. The council and the other interested parties must get together urgently and do everything possible to save it," said Clint Boon from the Inspiral Carpets.
Clint, whose Inspiral Carpets are to play the Versus Cancer concert at the M.E.N. Arena next month, described Afflecks as 'one of the most important parts of the city's pop culture in the last 30 years'.
Former Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs said the three-storey building was used by all the great Manchester pop and rock legends as a meeting place and some even used to style themselves from clothes bought there.
"Afflecks has always been a great meeting place for musicians. We all used to hang around there just seeing who we could spot, listening to new music, having a coffee and checking out the noticeboards," he said.
"We used to buy stuff from there all the time too - me, Liam, Noel, Guigsy - we'd all buy trainers and bits and bobs from there. We once found a drummer for a band I was in by scouring the noticeboards at Afflecks too.
Hundreds are expected to gather outside the store from noon today for a Traders' Day of Action rally protesting at the potential closure of the famous emporium. There could even be a famous face or two among the protesters.
