Oasis Sofa Could Be Yours
Along with stuffed wild boars, vintage 1970s underwear, 6,414 pairs
of red women’s pumps and one Howard-Stern resembling cheese sandwich
of questionable legitimacy, one click of the mouse could land you
the original sofa seen on the cover of Oasis’ 1994 debut album
Definitely Maybe – courtesy of the vendor of all things both reverent
and irrelevant, eBay.
The small, beige piece of furniture, once sat upon by arguably one
of the biggest, loudest assholes in rock history, Noel Gallagher,
was put up for auction on Friday, according to the official Oasis
newsroom. The auction ends January 23, with the bid (when I submitted
this story) currently at £754.08, or 1,476.71 US dollars. The seller,
only identified by the screen name mistersifter, is MisterSifter.com,
a site that sells authentic Oasis merchandise including promo CDs,
original album artwork, hand-written lyrics and original demo tapes.
Quoth MisterSifter on his eBay page, “I am sad that I have to part
with this piece of rock n roll history, but I simply cannot fit more
Oasis memorabilia into my flat.”
Definitely Maybe was the album that made Oasis an international
phenomenon, instantly jumping to number 1 on the UK charts and
becoming the fastest-selling British debut of all time, at the time
of its release. It was propelled by the insanely popular singles
“Supersonic” and “Live Forever,” and sold over a million copies
in the US and 7.5 million copies worldwide, according to Wikipedia.
It was also the subject of 4,758, 413 drunken English bar brawls,
though that piece of information is
unsubstantiated.
The sofa is seen on the album’s cover under the tukkus of songwriter
and guitarist Noel Gallagher, in the Manchester living room of
ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead (Paul Arthurs) where MisterSifter says
the photo was taken. The sofa now sits in MisterSifter’s home in
Aalborg, Denmark, and comes with a framed certificate of authenticity
from Bonehead himself and an original promo poster of the album.
May the purchaser continue the sofa’s living legacy, swearing loudly
and obstinately at sound guys for no reason at all.
