By Tony /13 years ago / 0 Comments

[img=020912_Larry L.jpg]After a long wait (sorry!), i'm delighted to present the 1st part of the GDA/GDC interview with Larry Livermore, which took place in London towards the end of last year.

In this opening part, we mostly discuss Larry's upcoming book Spy Rock Memories - described by Larry as his "memoires" from living in Spy Rock in the late 80's and early 90's. We also touch upon the beginnings of Lookout! Records, as well as spending quite some time talking about pets!

Have a listen below (around 45 mins running time):
