NEW AUDIO: Ric and Ben interviewed in Japan; November 8, 1980

While touring in Japan, Ric and Benjamin were interviewed for a Tokyo radio program called Sound Connection Rockadum III. This long-lost audio was recorded more than 40 years ago by Satoko Nakamura, and generously passed on to me to share!

Part of the recording is in Japanese, and our very own Yukiyo Fujita was so kind to translate those portions for us. I've included images of the written translations, but because of the way I edited the video, the time stamps and words don't line up exactly with the audio. My apologies!
