A brief snippet of upcoming AI interview with Harvey...

AI (that's me):  So I see out on the merchandise table that you've got some
CDR versions of some of the old solo work you did.  And so...it's really
hard to find anything.  What is the status with the old Taste label?

HB (that's Harvey):  Yeah, I'm not sure what happened to Taste.  I can't get
ahold of Bill Wood at the moment.  I think he had a few people after him in
one form or another.   But, no, he did quite well really getting it out into
the market, but then there....I think what he did, was he sold it onto some
European firm or something, and a lot of those CDs went into a holding
company and I haven't been able to get any more.  So, what...I mean, they
are mine, so I just decided I would....because people have asked me, you
know, for them again.  I'm trying to sort something new out at the moment.
My son (Matthew) has got a little record label now, we're going to try to do
things on that.  'Cause earlier this year I was doing a few live shows in
England and we recorded those, and we're going to sort of mess around with
those...and since he's a ****? technician and so...which is - recording and
equipment...So we're going to mess about with that and put something out on
his label.

****(some word that is unintelligable on the tape...sounds like "pro-tours"
- does anybody know what word it could be?)

>Anyway, it's very good. If you have his _Interstellar Chaos_ album
>you know that's sort of two sorts of track

It's much better than Interstellar Chaos IMHO.  In fact, I think Red Shift
is the best Harvey stuff I've heard outside of a couple HW tracks.

I wonder if Jim L. is going to be continually offering 'Red Shift' and
'Afrodiziac' on CDR....I hope so.  I'll try to find out before the issue
goes to 'print.'
