• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

With Andy Summers' kind permission, I've just posted the complete, 80-minute audio from our September 1982 Guitar Player cover story interview. This interview took place at the offices of A&M Records in Santa Monica on February 9, 1982. The Police had just released their fourth album, Ghost in the Machine, and the evening before our conversation the Police had headlined the L.A. Forum. I found Andy to be easy to speak to, extraordinarily articulate, and remarkably unaffected by his meteoric rise to fame. He is, in fact, one of the most insightful interviewees I’ve encountered. I hope you enjoy the interview!

Thanks! Love Andy, can't wait to hear this. This period also marked his being in the midst of collaboration with Fripp for 'I Advanced Masked' which is a personal favorite.
