00:00Hello, we are being treated to a hot summer in London so far, and it is going to continue to heat up with music and cultural events across the city.
00:11Coldplay are bringing their Music of the Spheres tour to Wembley for 10 nights, starting from August the 22nd.
00:18The BBC proms kick off from July the 18th with world-class orchestra performances.
00:23But the biggest news is Oasis are reuniting for the first time in London in 16 years.
00:30Fans will catch them at Wembley towards the end of July.
00:34So, with Oasis back in London this summer, I went to a record store to try and gauge the excitement.
00:42Yeah, I was a massive Oasis fan. I went to Nebworth, which is like the famous gig they did, was about 300,000, I think.
00:50And I went to, I saw them, it was cool as well.
00:55Yeah, and I loved them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were like, I just felt there was something really different.
01:00And there was just a buzz around them. Yeah, so I was a big Oasis fan back in the day.
01:05These are like, they're like CD box sets of the singles from Definitely Mabee and the singles from What's the Story More Than Glory.
01:11So, and these come in a few weeks ago. I think they're quite, they're quite rare. We have had some quite rare Oasis vinyl in here as well.
01:19We had Familiar to Millions, which is really rare. Familiar to Millions, we sold that for $4.65, which is, yeah, I mean, a lot of money.
01:27And it was quite, it came in with a collection about a year and a half ago.
01:30And was that after or before the announcement?
01:33That was before the announcement. That had been in the shop for about a year.
01:36So I think there was, there has been an interest online. So we, I think we sold that due to obviously what's going on with Oasis now.
01:43But, you know, generally we've got all the reissues in stock. They sort of sell steadily.
01:48I wouldn't have said since the announcement about, obviously they've got back together.
01:53It's made a massive amount of difference for us as a shop.
01:57So I'm a bit older than Oasis. So I was collecting records in the very late 70s and I've never stopped.
02:05But yeah, Oasis came along obviously very early 90s. And I remember seeing them at the venue in New Cross when they, I think they'd only brought out maybe one or two of their singles.
02:18And I don't think the first album had come out of that stage. And you knew there was something special about this band.
02:24You know, they were already, they were being hyped about the attitude between two brothers, but the music seemed to be quite interesting as well.
02:32You know, this was pre-Brit pop. It was just a, it seemed to be a throwback to the, the night of the 60s and 70s.
02:39What do you think of them coming? What do you think of the comeback? Do you think it's a good thing for them, for music or?
02:44I think it's, for them financially, it's an amazing, it's an amazing, amazing thing.
02:50For in general, I don't know. I mean, you know, if it gets a few headlines about, you know, sorts of records and music in general, then it's, yeah, it's a good thing.
