Interview - 18th May 1988

This interview was done to promote the album Reputation. The interviewer, Hanspeter Kuenzler, conducted the chat in London and is rather quiet on the tape (due to them recording Brian not himself) but the questions can still be heard. This is your opportunity to listen to Brian's spoken voice (apart from the first few seconds of The Wish album, Postcards - shame on you if you don't have it).

Brian is very relaxed and discusses his background and musical influences, he also mentions (with affection) the friend that he stayed with for three years when he first moved to London.
