Larry interviewed by an unknown journalist (22:47)

There are no cuts in this interview and for this reason I did not split the interview in tracks. Larry and the journalist talked about:

- second album "October" (the journalist hasn't heard it),
- the difference between the two LPs ("2nd album is more direct..."),
- the lyrics ("the lyrics were written on the microphones... I am not sure what Bono wants to say..."),
- 6 weeks studio time in total (2 weeks overtime), finished it 3 weeks ago,
- about touring,
- the development since the beginning,
- travelling around the world,
- changes in musicianship,
- the individual persons in U2,
- the rock group "Queen",
- the drummer Steve Gadget,
- the song "With A Shout",
- playing the London dates on December 21st and 22nd (in fact they were on 20th and 21st),
- about the success of the "Boy" album and the "11 OI'Clock Tick Tock" and "Fire" singles.


I got this Interview on a Maxell XL II tape in 1993. The quality is okay.
