Jim Ladd Interviews

[belladonnadream]

Thanks for the SA interview...that was one I didn't have! Have the earlier ones but they're all on cassette tape..wish I knew how to share them!

I was listening to the '81 Innerview this afternoon, and am I crazy, or are the song clips in a higher key than on the albums? They sounded higher, or sped-up or something. Maybe I was just hearing strange things. Anyone else notice it?

Yep, I was thinking the same thing and thought it could just be my computer, but I guess it's not, so no, it's not just you who thought they sounded sped-up.

Good listening anyway.

Sorry! That was a rip from tape that I did before using a professional tape deck. For some reason, the old one sped everything up a bit.

No worries--I kind of liked it!

I was going to say that it must be the source it came from. I have the original LP"s that were sent to radio for all of these and the songs sound fine on all of them.

Thank you so much for posting it. I can't believe after all these years, something this great has escaped my attention.

A friend of mine in 1979--a senior--& I called KMET where Jim was DJ'ing & congratulated him on an outstanding sonic portrait of Stevie Nicks. He talked to us on the telephone. He said how nice Stevie was in person & how important an artist he thought she was. He said that, despite her popularity, he didn't think the audience would ever completely grasp everything this artist had to give--at least not for a generation or two. He talked about her as if she were Picasso or Joyce (which of course is ridiculous).

He was a real hippie, that Jim, & always in love with Stevie Nicks.

I can believe this. His interviews are always the most genuine. I love when the interviewer is actually a FAN like Jim is. He gets right down into the songs and asks Stevie things that I would want to know.

Here is Jim Ladd's interview with Fleetwood Mac in 1976 about the "Fleetwood Mac" album. Here's the thing, I don't know if this is missing a part (it sounds like it is). I transferred this from LP to MP3 some time ago. I'll have to pull the LP's out and see if this is the whole show or if I have the other part but need to transfer it still. Either way, what is here is pretty cool. Stevie is very silly when talking about groupies.

Thank you soooo much for this interview. I never heard this B4 and didn't even know it existed! Anyhoo, I loved the way Stevie dominated the conversations and she cracked me up when she said a woman groupie would worm her way backstage and she grossed me out in a "Silence of the Lambs" kinda way when she talked about the Rhiannon with butterflies coming out of her mouth. I also enjoyed Jim telling the people in the room to quiet down so Christine could be heard.

Indeed, rather silly. There is no one who can compare to Joyce.

Meh, Joyce. Anyone who has read Finnegan's Wake might want to kill him and scream, "THIS IS NOT ART" in his face.

I love this! It's great to hear a pre-Rumors interview where they get asked other questions besides "what was it like to work with your ex during the making of Rumors?" Thanks for posting!
