‎<p>UKQrto wrapsno dw/djas issuedillustrated1st edn. NMINT. Glossy b/w photographic stiff card wraps. Qrto wraps 128pp includes profuse b/wcolour photographs a Chronology a Discography and an Index. With just two albums then 1996 OASIS have revolutionised the British rock music scene and are set to do the same in the USA. Using hard guitar sounds and riffs 'borrowed' from everyone from T.Rex and Gary Glitter to the Beatles the band are without a shadow of a doubt the most exciting and saleable group on the European stage. OASIS look set to be the most important band of the decade. No one else is close. This book charts the rise and rise of OASIS - from their early dreams of success to their status as world beaters and on to their triumphant homecoming concert at Maine Road. Dogged by a tabloid press that by turns loves them and loathes them the band have run the gauntlet and continually come out unscathed. Led on by the twin talents of Noel and Liam Gallagher they seem set for continued controversy and worldwide acclaim. Lee Henshaw writes for the 'The Word' Terry Christian's old column in the Manchester Evening News as well as working on a freelance basis for City Life - Manchester's version of Time Out. He lives and breathes the Manchester scene and is well known to OASIS and their management.
