Oasis lost trio of unheard songs found as band continue on tour in Manchester Heaton Park
Three lost and previously unheard Oasis songs have been discovered. The trio of tracks date back to the Be Here Now era and were found on a DAT tape marked 'B-sides' from when the band were releasing All Around The World as a single in 1998.
The songs are all performed by Noel Gallagher and one track, referred to as 'I'm Alive', has been described as one of the best tracks Noel has ever written by one fan, who would love to see it released. It differs from B-Side Alive released in the Nineties
Another song contacts a bridge section which eventually ended up on 2000 number one single Go Let It Out. The lost tape was discovered by Kyle Dale - who is a member of the Oasis Collectors Group - and he has played them to founding member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs who is currently touring with the band on the Oasis Live '25 shows who confirmed their rarity.
Appearing on the Oasis Podcast last month, Kyle said: 'I just knew this was different. This tape just says B-sides, it said it was seven minutes long, but it's actually 55 minutes long.
'I know that this one was not in the archive. Noel has not got everything; he's lost more gold than we can even imagine. I can tell you right now this was lost for 20 years. I do believe it was lost for that amount of time.
'I played them to Bonehead and the story would be that Noel would record them on a tape and send them round the band and they would listen to them and go back to it. As soon as I played him one song he goes, 'Oh, I remember that one.' Next one, 'Never heard that before in my life.' I could tell Bonehead thought that was quite good. Third one – which is the one that we've called I'm Alive – he stopped what he was doing and listened to it. This is from 1997, this is the era.
'To me that is one of the best songs I've ever heard Noel write. It's amazing. When I heard it, that song there, I was like, 'F***ing hell.' It really hit me; it's like a time capsule.
'I'm Alive. If they put that out now, it would take off. People are harking back to the old days.'
Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now!
A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time.
This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show!
The tape also contains a cover version of The Beatles song Tomorrow Never Knows and versions of The Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man and Flashbax, two songs which were used as B-sides on the single release.
Collector Kyle,has been offered £20,000 for the lost tape, but rather than accept the money he has returned copies of the songs to Noel.
However, the tracks seem a long way from being released at present. In a previous appearance on The Matt Morgan Podcast, Noel confirmed he'd received a USB stick from a fan, saying: 'Yeah, he sent me a USB stick, he may as well have been sending me a f***ing microchip from the future. I don't what he's expecting me to do with a USB stick. I haven't got a laptop. I haven't listened to the USB stick, it's still in the jiffy bag that he sent it in. If he wants me to listen to it then he can out them on CD.
'I don't know what these songs are, I would be sceptical of there being any full songs on there. Sometimes, as I remember during Be Here Now, when everyone would go to bed Owen Morris would leave the mics on and I would sing a verse or chorus of some tunes. They'll be a song on there called If We Shadows for sure. Other than that, it doesn't interest me. Thanks for sending it and all that. I've yet to even listen to it. It's not something that interests me, if I'm being honest, but if you do want me to listen to it then send it on a CD.'
Oasis continue their tour dates this weekend with two final shows at Manchester's Heaton Park. They now move to Wembley Stadium with the first show in London on Friday night.
Rumours persist that they could release a new track or songs next year, possibly as part of a new Greatest Hits album.

Just last month, Danny, 39, also uploaded the first picture of his partner to social media since his kiss scandal broke. Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, has endured a tough year sparked by Danny's drunken kiss with I'm A Celeb co-star Maura Higgins at a BRITs after-party, which The Sun was first to reveal in March. The incident plunged their marriage into crisis and the podcast host was reportedly "furious" at the way the Star Girl singer handled the aftermath of the debacle. Now they have put on a united front at the Wonderwall hitmakers' comeback show. An image posted to Danny's Instagram Stories showed the couple, who share son Cooper, flashing a loving look at each other after Oasis' mammoth setlist. They looked adoringly at each other in the black and white image, with Danny's parent in between them. The McFly boyband star wrote in his caption: "Oasis day one that was f***ing incredible." On her page, mum of one Georgia posted a snapshot of her Adidas outfit, with red shorts and a white top. At the gig, Oasis paid an emotional tribute to rocker Ozzy Osbourne who passed away this week, aged 76. Danny Jones' wife Georgia breaks down in tears live on This Morning saying 'I felt like a failure' PRESSING AHEAD Georgia's heart-warming upload came after a rough few months for the influencer and her family. Pals previously said she was keen to press ahead with her career and did not want to be "seen as a victim" after Danny's kiss was exposed. An insider said: 'Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting. 'She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads. McFly's Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley - Love Story MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley's romance is at the centre of attention after his drunken kiss with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet? Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010. He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus in 2013. They married the following August in her hometown of Malton, North Yorks, in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding. Danny and Georgia welcomed a baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018. 'Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there. 'She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open.' Previously, The Sun was first to report a huge reality TV series was eyeing up Georgia after Danny's drunken kiss. DANNY'S APOLOGY The boyband star previously made a public apology to his wife following the kiss. In a statement online, he said: 'Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. "I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. Danny continued: "I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding and support. "See you all soon, Danny." 6 Manchester rockers Oasis played Wembley stadium in their first reunion gig in London on Friday Credit: SWNS 6 Georgia has vowed not to be seen as a 'victim' during the past few months Credit: Getty - Contributor

Danny Jones and wife Georgia enjoy Oasis date night as they move on from Maura Higgins kiss
McFly star Danny Jones and his wife of almost 11 years, Georgia, went to see Oasis as they get their marriage back on track following his drunken kiss with Love Island's Maura Higgins McFly's Danny Jones seems to be back on track with his wife Georgia Horsley after the couple's 11-year marriage was rocked by Danny's drunken kiss with I'm A Celebrity co-star Maura Higgins. The couple were all smiles as they attended the first of seven Wembley gigs for the Oasis reunion tour. Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, could be seen in a black and white photo posted on her husband's Instagram Story, which showed her beaming as they made their way from Wembley Stadium. Danny was looking over at her as they shared a laugh between them, showing they've put their rocky patch behind them and have moved on. They were joined by Danny's mum Kathy, who walked in between the pair in the candid snap. It's been a tough year for the couple, with the news of Danny's drunken BRITS kiss with Love Islander Maura sending shockwaves earlier this year. Danny, 39, shares seven-year-old son Cooper with his wife, who he married in 2014. The singer and reality star eventually apologised for the incident, with Georgia temporarily moving out of the family home. But lucky for Danny, it appears Georgia was willing to give their marriage another try, although the pair lay low on social media since the video surfaced in March this year. They appeared on Instagram together earlier this week, in a family photo taken in the garden. Podcast host Georgia shared the photo, writing: "And then there were 17... My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special. "Cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, kids… my house was full and my heart happy. Missed you Si." Danny's grovelling apology to his wife was issued two weeks after the clip of him and Maura cosying up at a party after the BRITs went viral. He apologised to his family for his behaviour, writing: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately." After taking a break from Danny, Georgia got back to work on the podcast she hosts, alongside Tom Parker's widow, Kelsey. Despite public sympathy for Georgia's situation, the former Miss England winner refused to be "seen as a victim." A source told The Sun: "Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting. She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads. "Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there. She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open." While Georgia and Danny work on their marriage, Maura has remained tight-lipped about the whole situation. A source told Closer earlier this year: "It's been a tough few weeks for Maura. She's mortified and would do anything to erase what happened. She was at complete rock bottom when it all came out. "At the same time, she feels like some of the backlash that's come her way is unjustified. She's saying that she refuses to be labelled as the villain or the sole reason that Danny's marriage is in bits. It just isn't fair for all the blame to be on her."

Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger cuts a dapper figure as he celebrates his 82nd birthday by partying through the night at A-list bash - as the Gallagher clan descend on SAME venue for Oasis afterparty
The Rolling Stones and Oasis had quite the unlikely crossover on Friday night as both clans descended on the same venue for two separate A-list parties. Mick Jagger celebrated his 82nd birthday in style as he hosted a star-studded bash at private club The Rex Rooms, which is co-owned by Jason Momoa. It was a night of rock royalty as his bandmate Ronnie Wood joined the festivities along with stars including Sacha Baron Cohen and Jimmy Carr, while Mick's ex-wives and kids were also in attendance. However, in an unlikely crossover, the Gallagher clan also descended on the same venue as they booked out a room in the venue for an Oasis afterparty. After Noel and Liam Gallagher wrapped up their first London show in 16 years, the Gallagher offspring including Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, headed to The Rex Rooms to celebrate. For his A-list bash, Mick cut a dapper figure in a white silk shirt and black trousers, which he styled with a spotted black jacket. He stepped out alongside his fiancée Melanie Hamrick, who put on a very leggy display in a black sparkling mini dress. She added to her frame in a pair of pointed black heels and toted her essentials in a black handbag as she stepped out hand-in-hand with Mick. Mick and Melanie have been together since 2014 and they share a son, eight-year-old Deveraux, together, who is the rock star's eighth child. Also in attendance was Mick's daughter Georgia May, 33, who oozed sophistication in a black strapped dress with a side split. The supermodel completed her look with a pair of pointed heels and stepped out alongside her partner, skateboarder Cambryan Sedlick. It was also quite the Rolling Stones reunion as Mick's bandmate Ronnie Wood, who put on a vibrant display in a blue T-shirt patterned with butterflies. He completed his look with navy trousers and a beige blazer and carried a bright pink 'Happy Birthday' gift bag as he came ready with a gift for Mick. Ronnie looked as loved-up as ever with his wife Sally, 46, as they stepped out arm-in-arm for the star-studded occasion. He kept comfortable in a pair of black trainers and appeared to be in jovial spirits as he flashed a huge smile while getting out of his car She added to her frame in a pair of pointed black heels and toted her essentials in a black handbag as she stepped out hand-in-hand with Mick She cut an elegant figure in a black silk mini dress and a black cardigan and she appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile Mick's ex-wives also stepped out en masse to celebrate with him as Jerry Hall - who is the mother of Georgia May and Gabriel, 27 - joined the celebrations. She cut an elegant figure in a black silk mini dress and a black cardigan and she appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile. The American model stepped out alongside her son Gabriel's wife Anouk Winzenried, who looked effortlessly chic in a black and white striped button-up dress. Luciana Gimenez - who had an eight-month affair with Mick during his marriage to Jerry in which they welcomed a son Lucas - was also in attendance. She took to social media to share smiling photographs of herself and her son Lucas While the Rolling Stones party continued into the early hours of the morning, the Gallaghers also descended on to the venue for the Oasis afterparty - though Noel and Liam didn't appear to be in attendance. Gene - the son of Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton - cut a casual figure in a yellow jumper and blue jeans, which he styled with a pair of dark shades. His brother Lennon - whose mother is Patsy Kensit - looked equally laidback in a denim jacket and washed-out jeans. Oasis took to the stage at Wembley Stadium on Friday night for their first of seven reunion shows at the sold-out venue. It marked the first time that the band have performed at Wembley Stadium since their Dig Out Your Soul tour on July 12, 2009. The Gallagher clan have been flocking out en masse in London to support Oasis' big comeback, with Anais and her mother Meg also both in attendance on Friday night. Noel's ex-wife Meg, 59, has been steadfastly supporting the singer in the lead-up to the reunion, posting throwback snaps of them to Instagram, and she also attended the first night of the tour in Cardiff. She once again stepped out to see Oasis perform as she posed with her daughter Anais and her father Stanley Matthews in photographs shared to social media. In other clips shared to Instagram, Meg filmed herself with a group of pals in the crowd and appeared to be having the time of her life. Ahead of the gig, Meg reminisced about Oasis's previous London gigs and gushed that Anais - who was seven months old when they last performed - is just as proud of her father now. She said: 'Reflecting on 25 years ago when @Oasis rocked the stadium with 70,000 fans, and Franny fru fru, Pippy la la, Rose & Ra Ra, @lexyroche made it right to the front barrier don't know how we did it. 'Now gearing up for tonight's show with 90,000 attendees. Time flies, memories remain. Anaïs only 7 months old then to watching her now so proud of her dad , a full circle that was me just 2 years older than nai nai running around. 'Tonight will be a celebration of family and friends, a moment to cherish. Seated this time, but the excitement remains just as strong. Here's to another 25 years of music and memories.' Oasis' Wembley dates got off to an emotional start as Liam and Noel dedicated their concert to Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday at the age of 76. His death came just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news. The Gallagher brothers respectfully honoured the Prince of Darkness by singing Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a huge image of Ozzy. In videos shared across social media of the tribute, Liam said: 'Liam said: 'I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star.' MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Ozzy's grand country home as paramedics battled to save his life for two hours. Friends told the Mail's Alison Boshoff that his heartbroken wife Sharon may bury Ozzy in the gardens of their 350-acre estate in an intimate family funeral, as she is 'too frail' to go through a larger, public service.
