Liam Gallagher’s tambourine that was used on hits ‘Wonderwall‘ and ‘Champagne Supernova’ got sold for seven times its estimate at auction. Gallagher was a part of Oasis, an English rock band, that was formed in 1991.

The tambourine was used in Oasis’ album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory. The album redefined the British pop era and has sold more than 22 million copies.

An interesting fact is that Gallagher used the instrument before throwing it out after recording in Monmouthshire in 1995.

Morning Glory’s engineer sold the tambourine, which had a £300-£500 guide price, for £3,600 at auction.

“The tambourine was used during the recording of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory,” BBC quoted Nick Brine, who was in charge of the sound on the record, as saying.

“It was pretty battered by the end of the session and was going to be thrown away. But I claimed it.”

The tambourine was sold to an internet bidder at Hansons auctioneers in Derbyshire. The bidder wanted the “opportunity to own a slice of British rock history“.

“The price took my breath away, its musical pedigree proved irresistible to bidders,” said Hansons’ music memorabilia valuer Josh McCarthy.

The rock band travelled to Rockfield Studio in 1995 and recorded the new album. At that time, Nick was a sound engineer.

The album, at Brit Awards, was voted to be the greatest album of the last 30 years. It was also one of the best-selling albums of all time. Hit song Wonderwall was the first song from the 1990s to hit one billion streams on Spotify.

“That record means so much to so many people, it changed a lot of people’s lives,” said Nick, who has also worked with Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and The Stone Roses.

“It’s the record I get asked about the most. That record just sums up the whole era and what music and bands were about.”

Nick further added that the tambourine was also used by Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, The Verve and Seasick Steve.
