CD 5 - Interview With Producer Felton Jarvis about the ‘Guitar Man’ album.
This recording is taken from a rare promotional LP to promote the 1981 Guitar Man album. Radio stations’ own Disc Jockeys could ask questions and the answer was pre-recorded on this record. This is a very efficient way of promoting a product. Painfully, this also came in handy since Felton Jarvis died before the album was released.
Note: all has been previously released, the content of CD 1 and 2 is sourced from MP3 files of these recordings.
