We're looking back at March 1993 and the beginnings of one of the great modern music stories. That Spring, Liverpool band 'The Real People' were asked by an up-and-coming band from Manchester to put together a professional demo tape that they could send round to record labels. The tape - called 'Live Demonstration' - was recorded mostly at Liverpool's Porter Street studios and copies have been said to have been auctioned for more than £6,000. Why? Because it was Oasis. And the track 'Columbia' became the first Oasis song ever played on Radio 1... Adrian is joined by Paul Arthurs, AKA 'Bonehead', Chris & Tony Griffiths from Liverpool band 'The Real People', Debbie Ellis who back in 1993 shared a practice room with Oasis, and broadcaster Terry Christian.
