This is a very rare bootleg LP of the Dark Horse Radio Promo interview conducted by British DJ Nicky Horn in August 1974, the original of which seems to have been an LP distributed to US radio stations. The interview has previously surfaced on the "Dark Horse Radio Special" bootleg, but this one is in much better quality.

The interview dates from a brief flurry of promo activity in August/September 1974, when George launched Dark Horse Records, releasing singles by Splinter and Ravi Shankar in early September. George was still contracted to EMI via Apple at the time, so he couldn't put his own music out on the label till the contract ran out at the end of 1975, so for a tast of the label, four tracks from Splinter and Ravi Shankar are presented - these have been expurgated here, of course.

There's no talk of the impending North American tour, but there are some interesting mentions of his current relationship with the other Beatles, the movie "Little Malcolm and his Struggle against the Eunuchs" (which had just won an award), some of his financial arrangements, and religion (which the interviewer cuts off, unfortunately), as well as discussing the label the group Splinter.

Leading up to the tour, this was one of the busiest periods of George's life (record label, new acts, recording an album, helping others record theirs, then organising and rehearsing for the tour), and ominously, he's coughing sporadically throughout the interview...

I've added the execrable quality thumbnail-size artwork I found on the web. The date given on the front is 31 August 1974, so I've gone with that.
