If I remember correctly, #1 has an entertaining interview with Annabella Lwin's mum, and #2 has a good Ian Dury interview, and Martin Fry giving an accapella preview of the next ABC single, "Poison Arrow". (Even hearing it accapella, you knew it was something special.)

Oh bugger, false alarm, the full downloads have expired. Although the samples still seem to be there...

I dug these cassettes out of my loft the other day (put them back though), they live in one of those circular library cassette holders.

One of them has a suitably wacky Holgar Czukay interview.

Famously, Martin Fry pops in on a break from recording the latest single, does an acapella (with handclaps) rendition of "Poison Arrow"

'Salright - I should have checked the links before posting the URL!

The samples are OK... 3 or 4 minutes each, from the start of Side 1. Interviews with Suggs, Ian Dury, Brian Setzer, David Sylvian, ooh and DOLLY MIXTURE!
