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.

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.

No JETHRO TULL??!!

Nice, interesting series. Adding Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull would be great.
