Reelin'
in the Years
In
2008, Rainer Moddemann purchased a reel-to-reel tape
in Germany, labelled as an 11'28" interview with Tim
Buckley, taped on May 21, 1974. He got in touch with Tim's
Estate and wrote:
"!
bought it on a flea-market, where somebody sold a whole
bunch of interview tapes from a radio station in Hamburg,
Germany," he wrote. "I just copied this
on a CD and I really wonder where this was taped--- it is
not very interesting, but I am sure this was never used
for a radio broadcast or a newspaper article. It is easy
to be recognized, right at the very end the phone rings
and Tim leaves the room. Do you have any idea where this
was taped?"
In
May 1974, Tim was in Europe promoting Sefronia and
the date on the tape seems to coincide with the London taping
of two songs for the BBC's The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Rainer
was kind enough to pass on a copy of the tape and it can
be heard below.
