Were You There? A New Britpop Book Wants Your Oasis Story And More

No comments

Richard Bowes author of Some Might Say: The Story Of Oasis, which in my opinion is the best book about the band we've had to date is starting work on a new project.

Below is an email I received about it today.

I am putting together a book covering the defining British music movement of the 1990s through the experiences of the people who lived it. The book, a people’s history, will detail how Britpop emerged from recession-era Britain and became the soundtrack of a generation navigating class and a swiftly changing culture. It will be a social and cultural history of Britain in the 1990s, told through music and fandom, combining historical research with vivid first-person testimony and appealing to people who lived through it and those who were unlucky not to. Countless bands and fans were part of the era. If you were one of them, we want to hear your story.

Obviously, Oasis were the biggest band of the era and ever since. We are looking for contributions of approximately 400 words or more from fans of Oasis. It could be about a particular gig, or meeting one of the band members, or just what they mean to you. And it doesn’t have to be a story from the 1990s; Oasis have taken their place at the top tier of rock bands so if you saw them in the 2000s, during the solo years or at the reunion in 2025, we want to hear from you.

But it doesn’t just have to be Oasis. If you’ve got a story about seeing one of the other bands who fall under the Britpop umbrella, it would be great to hear about. The more stories the merrier!

Please drop us a line at recollectionsofrock@gmail.com. 

Look forward to hearing from you!

Check out Richard's work here, here and here.

Some notes about the extra footage from the Disney+ Oasis Don’t Look Back In Anger event.

Half The World Away is from Los Angeles.
D’You Know What I Mean? is a collection of footage from Wales, Japan and Ireland.

Part of the interview shown today with the Gallagher's was about how they got back together and when it's family none of the bullshit really matters.

They also joke about Liam going home to his Mum's who would put his photos up. Then when he left she’d put Noel's up instead.

At the end of the first week of sales, the album had sold a record-breaking 347,000 copies, making it (at the time) the second-fastest-selling album in British history, behind Michael Jackson's Bad.

It entered the UK charts at number 1, it stayed around the top three for the rest of the year before a 6-week stay at the top in mid January, followed by a further three weeks at number 1 in March.
