The ‘Live Oblivion Vol. 1 & 2’ recordings have been remastered by Bill Smith @ United Archiving, LA from the original 'Wally Heider Mobile' analogue tapes. Wally Heider (1922-1989) was a renowned U.S. recording engineer and owner of recording studios in LA and SF. Brian Auger


My excellent friend, award winning documentary film maker Alfred George Bailey has 'gone rogue' and stolen these copies of 'Live Oblivion Vol 1 & 2 ahead of their release date of May 10th. Please apprehend this vagabond if you see him! 🤣 soulbankmusic


"Pianist and Hammond organ master Auger is highly regarded as a pioneer jazzer who sought to “develop this idea of a bridge between jazz and different musical worlds.”" You can read the full conversation Brian Auger had with Prog Mag: loudersound.com/features/brian…

‘Compared to What’ taken from Live Oblivion Vol. 2' is out now on all platforms. Brian Auger in the original liner notes opines how live recordings can often have drawbacks, but "I hope that spirit shines through". Both volumes are out May 10: soul-bank-music.lnk.to/LiveOblivionVo…

Thanks 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐠!! Live Oblivion 1 & 2 is coming May 10th GreenGabPR soulbankmusic soul-bank-music.lnk.to/LiveOblivionVo…


In 1976, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express covered Herbie Hancock’s original ‘Maiden Voyage’. The band’s version was later picked up by notable Hip Hop artists such as Mos Def and Japanese DJ Mitsu The Beats. The cover version is included in the Live Oblivion Vol. 2 - out May 10.

When it came to remastering the tapes from the original Wally Heider Mobile analogue tapes, Brian Auger relied on his long time friend & fan, Bill Smith at United Archiving in LA – the ideal man for preserving the original recordings' aesthetic and quality from back in the 70s.

Truly great support by MOJO and Shindig for Brian Auger's "Live Oblivion Vol. 1 & 2”. Both volumes out this Friday! Shindig: ★★★★ “The Oblivion Express at the absolute peak of their powers” MOJO: ★★★★ “melodious, spontaneous jams that often better the studio versions”


.Brian Auger got his copies of the 'Live Oblivion Vol. 1 & 2' 50th anniversary reissue – and they are looking marvellous! Did you get yours yet?

This wonderful project needs you, the dedicated Auger heads or those who generally treasure Brian Auger's legacy to chip in (if you can), so this documentary can take shape: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/brian-auger-…
