CD 2: This upload: The interview in four segments, detailed track info & art is here:

http://bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=bc090 The track listing is again different, unfortunately my copy does not have the bonus tracks 14. - 16. and I am not sure if track # 13. "The National" was part of the original interview or something that came after as part of the broadcast, or if whoever named the files on Bootlegzone took a bit of artistic freedom. The interview does seem to be over after "12. Selling Peace".





I really like Howard's style of interviewing and it seems it resonated well with John & Yoko. There is one more Howard Smith interview left in the series, revisiting with the Ono Lennons one year later. To be continued...
