This interview was conducted to publicize Gilmour's 1st solo Album, David Gilmour, released 5/25/78 in the UK and 6/17/78 in the US. The first air date of this interview likely coincides closely with the release of the album.

Notes: Needle drop directly from radio station vinyl. The raw files were brought into Audition, and the largest of the surface noise pops were removed one at a time using "auto heal." Then the entire file was "declicked" in Audition. Fades in and out were added to each segment, with an emphasis on preserving all the program material. Toward the end of each side I noticed a very audible hum - intermittant at first, and then consistent. Went back to the vinyl to be sure this was not a fault of the equipment, but it is indeed in the vinyl recording. I opted to not roll it off, as that weakened the low end of the music. Bumped both sides up +1db after all vinyl noise management.
The commercials are part of the program, but I have only shared two of them since they repeat, and have placed them at the end rather than repeating them throughout the program. One can easily reinsert them by copying each commercial and re-numbering according to the guide above, if desired.
Example: "02 Kawasaki Commercial Spot 1 (Husband)" becomes "102 Kawasaki Commercial Spot 1"
Scans: I have also included four scans in the part 2 download. Two of these rightly belong with part 1, but I am sure you can re-unify them at home. These are:
78-06 Series 11 Show 6 Affidavit (the legal document that traveled with the vinyl)
78-06 Series 11 Show 6 Disc (a scan of Side A of the Part 1 disc - yes, that is dog hair on the disc. I promise I cleaned them before playing them!)
78-06 Series 11 Show 7 Cue Sheet (the detailed listing of the contents of Part 2)
78-06 Series 11 Show 7 Disc (a scan of Side A of the Part 2 disc - both discs were scanned after being played)
These were the entire contents of the set that I purchased - ie, no cue sheet for Part 1, no other inserts or cover artwork. The records come in a plain black sleeve with the sheets slid inside a plastic outer sleeve.
Final comments:
This is a special interview, but the magnitude of it may be lost on the modern listener. As Jim Ladd is quick to point out, this is the first nationally broadcast interview of any Pink Floyd band member in the years following their rise to stardom. Much of what is contained here is familiar to many of us who have followed the band for decades, but I urge you to put yourself into the headphones (not shoes) of the young Pink Floyd fan in the late 1970s, some of whom might never have even seen a photo of any band member, nevermind having heard them speak. Even Pompeii was a somewhat rare theatrical presentation at that time, and the interviews in that movie are hardly as revealing as what is contained here. So think of this in terms of pre-internet and pre-Warring Floyds (when many interviews were conducted and many band details came out) and see if that does not give you an idea of how special this broadcast was in 1978.
