Transcript: "Interview With Alex Lifeson" - Radio Clyde, October 1987

Here's an interesting item: a transcript of an interview with Alex Lifeson on Glasgow Scotland's Radio Clyde from October 1987. According to this interview, Hold Your Fire wasn't released in the UK until over a month after it was released in the rest of the world (September 8th, 1987). Alex confirms the delay was a record company discussion to maximize sales, apparently. Other topics include logistical problems when touring the UK, as well as how the band first considered Cyndi Lauper and then Chrissie Hynde, before finally approaching Aimee Mann to appear on "Time Stand Still".
