I doubt it, just based on my own experience. Very little of my 1997 interview with Tori was left out of the Q&A I did for Addicted to Noise. (When I say 'very little,' I mean mostly the 'ums', and a little bit of private conversation we had at the beginning of the interview). Second, I produced a full transcript of an interview I did with Kurt Harland of Information Society (only a small portion ran in the SF Chronicle), which Kurt used on the InSoc Web site for many years. I know of a Greek journalist, Greg Karajiannis, who has released unexpurgated mp3 files of interviews he has done with musicians where only small portions of those made it into finished articles. So, I suspect it happens now and then. :) Beth ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 13:27:15 -0400 (EDT) From: handal@r2d2.reverse.net (Richard Handal) Subject: Re: [pt] 1994 Baltimore Sun article Beth quoted me trying to smoke out more material, then spoke: > Richard said: > > This was posted with JD's full permission, and as far as I know, is > > the only instance of the full transcript of what was a journalist's > > interview lasting 45 minutes or an hour being made public in its > > entirety.

That would be why I hadn't seen it when it came out, and why I'd not seen it on the Tori interview sites. I find that you have it on your site now: . Good deal. Thanks for sharing it. I remember talking to you about doing this before you interviewed her, and I believe you got the final interview on the heels of the Concert for RAINN before she left the public eye again for a while. > Second, I produced a full transcript of an interview I did with Kurt > Harland . . . I was talking only about Tori, Beth. I'm happy to think other long interviews with musicians get out, though. It clearly is rare when a full nearly-hour-long interview gets out. Surely the Internet has made this less rare. I would have concern about the ethics of releasing to the public sound recordings of phone interviews an artist believed destined only for print, but I see nothing wrong with sharing the interview transcripts. Thanks again, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V11 #50 *************************************
