(Also known as the Radio Lancashire interview)

Recorded 28th February 1980 at Preston Warehouse by Steve Barker from BBC Radio Blackburn.
Broadcasted in March of 1980 & in 1988.

Steve Barker:
"The interview was done late afternoon early evening in the background of the soundcheck at the Preston Warehouse. The interview was for the Spinoff show which went out each Tuesday and Thursday evening on Radio Blackburn (now Radio Lancashire). Obviously its a long time ago and I don't recall much detail other than the fact that Ian was very cooperative and friendly, recognised that Spyda was a non-professional and treated him well. I just sat by their side and held the UHER reel-to-reel portable tape machine. The interview was edited by my producer Ian Cook for later broadcast. I may have the tapes somewhere but cannot locate them easily (I did an interview with Jimi Hendrix in 1967 and lost that cassette!) Ian did not show any signs of disturbance or depression, obviously he was not one of those loud, gregarious people - and seemed very quiet spoken and sensitive, serious about his work".

Thanks to Mark Gale from Joy Division Central who interviewed Steve Barker.
Thanks to SB who shared 1988 broadcast.
