There's a three page article in August's Uncut magazine in which Phil comments on several of the albums he's recorded.

The albums in question are: the first three Roxy LPs; Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain; John Cale's Fear; Quiet Sun's Mainstream; his own Diamond Head; 801 Live; and David Gilmour's On An Island.

Some interesting comments, especially about FYP (the band marvelling at BF's lyrics & Eno getting fed up with being in a band) & 801 (a band designed to implode after 6 weeks and which duly did, with a danger of members otherwise killing each other!).

Would love to help you all out with a scan, but (a) I don't have the facilities and (b) I didn't think the magazine was worth the money, so (tightwad that I am) I read the article in the HMV shop!

Page 1 of the Uncut magazine article. Buy it next time lol

Perhaps we could have a thread with scanned images of newspaper or magazine articles from long ago for those of us without such things.

And now for Act 2

And finally, will someone borrow Phil's insect glasses, put them through a 3d scanner, and make copies of them for sale somehow!

If you are good with your hands it is quite easy to make a pair using the same method that Anthony Price came up with for the originals!

Thanks for posting John. Interesting read. Manzo always come over as one of life's enthusiasts, doesn't he?

Thanks for posting that. I adore all those records save Gilmour's which i have not heard. I find that Quiet Sun, nearly 35 years later is still a brilliant record and everytime I listen, I hear something new. I consider myself very lucky to have a signed copy.

Bill Nelson, a noted nice guy who is very accessible to his fans, commented in his diary that upon meeting meeting Phil, he felt an instant liking.. I always thought that the two o them should get in a room together and see what comes out of it. Guitar heaven I should think.
