Wow
From the ‘50s into the ‘80s. Interviews with performers, song writers, producers, lawyers, musicians - all interviewed by Joe Smith of Warner Records who knew everyone he interviewed. The content is rich, spontaneous, honest.

Treasure Trove
What a great archive. Raw recordings of rock’s greats. Audio is a little spotty because these were conducted for a book in the ‘80s, bit otherwise fine. Really enjoyed the Graham Nash and Tom Petty interviews.
