Liam Gallagher—Hand X Ray. Brian Cannon tells the story behind this amazing piece... The Morning Glory recording sessions at Rockfield Studio, Monmouth, Wales were suspended mid session because Liam and Noel had a massive bust up, culminating in Liam punching Noel. Liam came back to my house in Wigan to lie low for a while. On reaching my place Liam’s hand had become very swollen. I took him to the local hospital where he was X rayed revealing a broken knuckle. He had his hand plastered and we returned to my house with the X ray and prepared for a night out. He then proceeded to ask me for a pair of scis-sors and cut the cast off right in front of me!!!! Stating it made him look uncool!!!! The purpose of giving an X ray to an out patient is so that when the person returns to the hospital a Doctor can refer to the X ray to see the progress of the healing process. Liam never went back to the hospital and gave me the X ray. Its is clearly marked ‘Gallagher, Liam’ it is

dated and the name of Wigan Infirmary

appears. The X ray comes complete with

protective cardboard wallet which also

carries the same identifying details.

Oasis, Be Here Now, rejected artwork mock up limited edition print. This version of the proposed artwork for the Be Here Now album has never seen the light of day since it's creation in 1997. Only one copy of this remarkable composition was made and is not for sale. Noel had the idea that each band member would chose a location, any where in the world and would be flown there and photographed. The four images would then be merged together with Liam to be superimposed across the centre of all four. The sleeve was rejected purely on a logistical basis, there simply was not enough time in the band's schedule to organise four foreign location shoots and the idea was shelved. This image has never been published and this limited edition of 100 prints represents the only opportunity to own this visually stunning piece of unseen Oasis memorabilia. Print dimensions = 30 cm x 21 cm, 12 inches x 8 inches Comes complete with numbered certificate of authenticity £19.99

Be Here Now Boxset Printers Proof.

Very large rare printers proof.

This item was obtained from the pressing plant in Kent.

Oasis sleeve designer Brian Cannon and Noel Galla-gher would visit the pressing plant to view printing proofs and approve them prior to the full produc-tion run. A handful of uncut proofs were obtained during one of these visits.

This proof was a test run for the fanclub edition box set of the album, and was literally glued around a pre formed box (see image of finished box set, please note, this auction is for the flat proof - not the box set). The box set was rare enough, so by definition this is extremely scarce.

This is a VERY large proof, CD pictured to bottom right to show scale (CD not included)

From the personal collection of Oasis sleeve de-signer Brian Cannon

The four images pictured were used in this process, they are all 1997 originals, and they can be seen to have been torn or cut by Brian.

Unique originals which helped in creating the final collage image in 1997.

All the images are from the negatives, original photographs by Jill Furmanovsky.

Largest photo = 21 x 10cm Smallest photo = 10 x 6 cm £39.99 for all four images.

Pace Echo Limited Edition Print—50 only.

The Verve 'Space Echo' image was originally applied to a T shirt when the band reformed for the first time in 1997.

Simon Jones would often be seen wearing the gar-ment and indeed sported it at the first gig on the comeback tour at the Sheffield Leadmill on the 9th August 1997.

This limited edition print represents the first time the image has ever been made available other than printed on cloth.

The Space Echo itself was a piece of equipment used by Nick McCabe, the device records incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replays the audio over a series of several playback heads before it is erased again by new incoming audio.

The sticker on the front of the machine which reads 'The creative answer - The Verve' originally read 'The creative answer - Roland'. The Verve logo was ap-plied at the design agency Microdot who were re-sponsible for the design of the image.

Roland were the manufacturers of this piece of kit, it's product code was Roland RE - 201.

The print is signed and numbered by Verve art direc-tor Brian Cannon and comes complete with corre-spondingly numbered certificate of authenticity.

The Verve. Rough Trade Records Rejection Letter. When ex Verve manager Dave Halliwell first showed me this in-credible piece of memorabilia I nearly fell off my chair. It was decided then that the original was too priceless and personal to us to sell, however, we have now made available a professionally scanned and reproduced version. The letter reads Dear Verve, Thank you for sending in the record, tape (circled), CD, which I have now had a chance to listen to. Unfortunately it was not suitable for the present Rough Trade repertoire. Once again thanks for submitting your product and if in future you have any further material please do not hesitate to send it to us.
