Wibbling Rivalry


"Wibbling Rivalry" is a single released under the name "Oas*s" by the Fierce Panda record label in 1995. It is a recording of John Harris interviewing brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis in early 1994, on the verge of their commercial breakthrough. The interview is famous for featuring a violent argument between the brothers over an incident that occurred a few months prior in which Liam incited a drunken-brawl on board an overnight ferry to the Netherlands which resulted in the entire band being arrested and deported.
The title is a portmanteau of the expression sibling rivalry and the word.
The single contains a 'Liam Track' featuring predominantly Liam's use of profanities and a 'Noel Track' featuring Noel. "Wibbling Rivalry" holds the record as the highest charting interview release in the UK, reaching number 52 on 25 November 1995.
The single's cover features English underworld figures Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
