Interview - Live In Edinburgh

Blogging a whole bunch of impossible to find stuff by Interview. Never heard of 'em? Join the club. The band name itself is strange. Well, so was the band. The singer had a unique sound - hard to describe. It immediately grabbed me so I bought their only two LP's ('Big Oceans' and 'Snakes and Lovers'). Both have been blogged on this site. This was from a live concert in 1979. I think it came out on a very limited CD. It's also possible (according to Discogs) that their two albums got a CD release. CD reisues of their music would be the #1 wish of mine. It's my top of the list. Yup - they're that good.

Interview - The First Demos

From the halcyon punk days - 1977. Day zero.

Interview - The Last Demos

From a possible third album (1981). At some stage, so I'm told, there was a CD release. I never got that, and I guess very few did. Heck - I'd saw it's rarer than rocking horse shit.

Interview - Birmingham & New Hearts In Action 7''

Now for the singles. It's important to blog these as the B-Side often was not on their CD/LP releases. First single comes from 1978. Neither track in this case appeared on their LPs, so this is absolutely essential.

Interview - You Didn't Have To Lie To Me & That Kind Of Boy 7''

Second single from 1979. Contains the big track ('You Don't Have To Lie To Me') from their first LP. I say BIG because upon first listen (and subsequent) I thought it was amazing. And, unusual. 'That Kind Of Boy' was not on the first LP.

Third single released in 1979. 'To The People' appeared on the 'Snakes and Ladders ' LP but 'Heart Crane In Mexico' appeared nowhere else.

Interview - Hide And Seek & Yes Man 7''

Last single from 1980. 'Hide and Seek' appeared on the LP 'Snakes and Ladders' but the B-Side ('Yes Man') was only released here. After this they were planning to do a third album - but it never eventuated. However, tracks can be found on 'The Last Demos'.

Gove - Heavy Cowboy

Great album. What a discovery this LP is from around 1971. Kinda like that first time you heard Nick Drake. Or Gene Clark. Howe Gelb. Steve Young ..... you know what I mean. It's unique with so many different elements. Not all that easy to find now. Full name is Gove Scrivenor. You'll thank me for this.
