Here is another radio show from the Off The Record Specials with Mary Turner series that I just picked up from eBay. Until recently, I had not seen any such shows featuring U2. Now, all of a sudden, they seem to be popping up more often. So when I see one, I grab it. On this show, Turner interviews Adam Clayton regarding all things U2. It is very similar to my previous vinyl transfer torrent, and in fact, this show contains two interview segments which also appear on that previous upload. (It was not uncommon for Westwood One to produce multiple shows utilizing the same content.)

As before, I have edited out all of the officially released material (the songs between interview bits), but very small portions of each track do exist as fade-ins and fade-outs. I have included all of the commercials which aired (as separate tracks) and have also included all four "Almost Complete Sides" of each LP for those who want to hear the show in a semi-uninterrupted state. ("Almost Complete" because again, the official tracks are edited out.)

I hope you enjoy this torrent!
