Made in Japan on Welsh Radio
[Updated] Andy Fox from the Welsh radio station GTFM continues to provide an excellent coverage to all things Purple. This week he will be interviewing Ian Gillan in celebration of the Made in Japan reissue. His Rockshow is on the air every Thursday at 21:00 and can be listened worldwide online. For further listening options visit www.gtfm.co.uk or www.bcfm.org.uk (with the latter offering a much better sound quality option).
The show will be available to ‘listen again’ after the fact from the archive.
Thanks to Yvonne Osthausen for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I read some time back an interviewer praising Made in Japan and his answer was that he has never listened to it.
May 28th, 2014 at 23:11Then he needs to listen to it!!!
May 29th, 2014 at 07:48Joe, I dont understand your post.
May 29th, 2014 at 19:53Switching on for the interview now…………………
May 29th, 2014 at 19:53It is almost 1 hour later(2300) and we ve heard Highway Star , nothing more.
Bummerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
How long does this show last?

May 29th, 2014 at 20:58been listening for 1 hour. Again we re trapped! Just 1 song and I d swaer je hust said that the special would be on within 2 hours???!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 29th, 2014 at 20:59The main event was in hour 2, available as a podcast at http://gtfmrockshow.wordpress.com at the weekend !
May 30th, 2014 at 08:16The presenter of this show Andy Fox is a big Deep Purple fan and a rock fan, he does the show for love and doesn’t get paid.
May 30th, 2014 at 11:41The Deep Purple special took place in hour two and lasted for forty minutes plus, including track from the archives and an interview with Ian Gillan.
I suggest you listen to the whole show next time!
The ‘listen again’ link is http://gtfmrockshow.wordpress.com/author/rockofages/
The interview will be up from Sunday onwards.
Interpolating a interview from a old archive!
I did not hear that at the beginning..
Couldnt they contact Roger?
May 30th, 2014 at 12:05he is Welsh, isnt he?
I DID listen to the whole show.
An old interview is not exactly exiting.
Maybe they just dont care.
And it should have been released 2 years ago because of the 49th Anniversary anyway.
But hey, thats the way we do it.
May 31st, 2014 at 12:35I wonder if anyone did new interviews with Ritchie, Roger, Ian P, or Ian G for the new MIJ release.
June 2nd, 2014 at 12:30As was explained the interview was an archive interview with Ian Gillan, the band are currently touring the world so are unavailable for current interviews.
June 2nd, 2014 at 18:38Perhaps EMI/Universal should have put the remasters out on the 40th anniversary although you would have to take that up with them!
In defence of Coverage From GTFM no other national station have recognised it!!
