Glad you all enjoyed the promo booklet.
Have been looking back in my files to see what else I might have. These were two, which I feel that Paul may already have archived somewhere, but if not, I have 'em!
The first is an NME interview by Angie Errigo from February 1977. This is largely about Bullinamingvase, and also contains an insert 'Avon Calling' open letter from Roy.
The second, and quite interesting, is an interview from ZigZag fringe magazine, May 1977, again focusing on Bullinamingvase. In particular there is this quote. I wonder if Roy has, in the intervening years, said 'what it's all about'?
"Well, the first song on the first side is just an ad generally for the album, and an ad for the song on the other side. If you come to me in a few years time I'll tell you what it's all about, but other than that you can go away, listen to it, and try to decide what you think it's about. It's fairly easy, but it's not anything I want to give away to the press. It's something I can't tell the press at the moment. It seems like an ineffectual, nice, kind little song that Radio One would be really pleased with, but if you go away and listen to it, you might get a little more out of it than the average housewife. That's what I'm saying, but I'm not going to say anymore than that."
