Never before seen footage of Oasis performing in Glasgow on the night they were discovered has sold for more than £28,000 at auction.
Liam and Noel Gallagher played one of their first ever gigs at the city’s King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on May 31, 1993.
They were offered a record deal on the spot by Scots Creation Records boss Alan McGee who was in the audience.
The performance was captured on a camcorder by Japanese student Ayako Misawa who was living in Glasgow at the time.
A snippet from her recording featured in the 2016 Oasis documentary Supersonic but the entire nine-minute video has never been publicly shared in full.
The footage, and its associated copyright, went up for sale at Propstore’s Music Memorabilia Live Auction and was given an estimate of £4,000 to £8,000.
But it sparked a competitive bidding war and fetched a final price of £28,350.
The lot includes the original Sony Handycam Video8 camcorder, cassette tape, battery pack, charger and Ms Misawa’s original concert ticket.

The lot’s description stated: ‘This rare videotape recording captured the Oasis gig that would change the band’s lives and spark the ‘90s Britpop phenomenon.’
The Oasis tour began on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, to a sold out audience.
It is scheduled to end on November 23 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
The tour marks Oasis’s first live appearances since they split acrimoniously in 2009.
