The British group Oasis is one of the most important bands of the nineties. This is the official book of the Oasis Was, There, Then British-European photo tour, featuring more than 150 color and duotone images. In the few short years since Oasis began their steady ascent to the top, they have become one of the most powerful and popular bands of the decade. The subject of constant media attention, Liam and Noel Gallagher are two of the most recognized faces in the music world. In the midst of this media storm, award-winning photographer Jill Furmanovsky has spent the past two years calmly capturing the band on on the road in America in 1995, at their monumental outdoor performances in 1996, in Europe, and in the recording studio during the making of their third album, ``Be There Now.'' Her fly-on-the-wall pictures, along with editorial input from the Gallaghers, reveal a very different story from the usual hysterical headlines. 144 pp 8 1/2 x 10 150 color & duotone photos
