Oasis: A large collection of photographs by Tom Sheehan (British, born 1950) from Locomotive Studios, Wales, sold with copyright, 1995, comprising approx. 118 black and white negatives and 135 colour transparencies of Oasis recording (What's the Story) Morning Glory? at the Locomotive Studios in South Wales, including images of Liam in his Blue Adidas windbreaker, shots of the full band, and images of the band on the studio roof recreating the Help! album cover, sold with copyright via deed of assignment, (approx. 253 total) Footnotes: Tom Sheehan took these photographs during his second encounter with the band. The collection shows the band recording their second studio album. Sheehan recalls that the weekend was spent working hard in the studio, intermixed with a few trips, which can be seen in the more candid images. This collection includes the image of the band on the roof of the studio, as an homage to The Beatles. Guigsy had to overcome his fear of heights in order for Sheehan to get the shot. Provenance: Offered directly by photographer Tom Sheehan (British, born 1950). Tom Sheehan is a renowned music photographer who has most notably worked at CBS Records and also had the enviable position as chief photographer at Melody Maker, where he was regularly published for two decades. His photographs have been featured in NME, The Sunday Times, and Mojo magazine, amongst many others. His passion for both music and photography is perhaps the reason for his exceptional career and is evident in his captivating images of musicians performing and of musicians in more candid, behind-the-scenes settings. Sheehan comments of his more editorial images, 'I don't like to get bands to do something daft... I don't work that way; I always work upfront and honest.' This authenticity is apparent within his photographs and is particularly representative of his work with Oasis. This is an important archive of images capturing the band in their early career. Literature: Please note that some of these images have been published recently in Tom Sheehan's, Roll With It: Oasis in photographs 1994-2002, Wellbeck, London, 2025. Please contact the department for specific details of the images included in this lot.
