I listened for a little bit but it didn't sound particularly new aside from the BBC announcer's' voiceovers. Maybe there's something new as the reel unwinds, but I don't have the patience/interest to stick around and find out.

I have listened to part 1 of the bands story and I enjoyed it. I found the input from Bryan, Phil, Andy, Paul and Chris Thomas was very interesting. Yes some of it we have heard before. Eno gave his side of the story as well. All good for me

Mes Amis,
W2 est completement d’accord avec the ever tasteful avalon_eyes.
This is a great appreciation from musicians that are also fans.
Essential listening for the thinking Roxologist.
Salutations,
Windswept

Can't ever recall hearing these interviews before although BF's voice in particular sounds younger. Can anyone confirm whether or not they're new? Very interesting regardless. Never realised for one that BF went off and did the FYP cover shoot himself without the rest of the groups knowledge.

Some of the interviews I remember being on a DVD "More Than This - The Story Of Roxy Music." I also remember Andy MacKay's comments about the Country Life cover in an interview a few years ago and some others sounded vaguely familiar, such as the reference to Bryan Ferry only playing two notes per chord, which I'm pretty sure came from a (very boring) DVD which examined the first four albums. So I'm confident it wasn't a recent promo for the tour, more bites from other interviews strung together. Still an interesting listen though, as there was a lot of stuff I hadn't heard.

Hipsters,
Windswept doesn’t know if it was spliced together or not but the fanatics who inhabit this hallowed cyber hall are always on the look out for something new.
Surely the truth is that after fifty years there is little that hasn’t been said ?
W2 roars with laughter when Bryan gets chastised for recounting his childhood memories. What is the man supposed to do ? Invent a different past just to assuage those who have heard it all before ?
W2 thinks better and more varied questions are the only way to solicit anything new.
Salutations a tous,
W2
