Joe Jackson Image Name: Joe Jackson

Part 2:
‘In 1987 Joe Jackson’s first interview with Richard Harris was published in an Irish magazine as a cover story with this headline: ‘Richard Harris as you never saw or heard him before.’ Joe Jackson suggests “the same is true, but even more so” of his two-part programme, Richard Harris Revisted: The Joe Jackson Tapes.

In this programme Jackson look back over roughly thirty hours of tapes recorded with Harris for print and radio interviews “but mostly for the biography Harris asked me to write.” These are, singularly the most revealing set of interviews Harris ever gave to anyone.
