Hi

Interesting find... I'll have a look at home whether or not I have an audience recording of that specific show and if so: what the quality is.

Maarten,

I'm fairly sure you have this as the whole radio interview. If not you and others can quickly compare here.
The first clip is talking, the second clip is Night Comes On and the third clip has talking and In The Eyes Of Men with firstly a bonus of Marita and the sequel to Marita

Anyway, it's good to be reminded to listen to that interview again and also hear the alternate word he sometimes sang in 1985 of "The victory bells ringing" from Night Comes On
