Thank you very much CindyC!!! Was looking for it for years naturally!

You're very welcome mur2.

Many thanks CindyC. I have re-read the interview after a gap of 37 years! I remember buying the edition from a newstand near Picadilly, London. I got to know the guy at the newstand quite well during my brief working stay in the capital. "He's quite mad you know, pointing to the picture of Keith on the cover" he said, "although the others are o.k."
Wonderful and honest!
The interview at the time was somewhat overshadowed by the Wenner John Lennon interview. That became a book and then post 1980 got reprinted all over again, with audio tapes and radio broadcasts to follow. All they need now is a stage show. Keith's interview though is better in many respects. Unlike Lennon, he doesn't come over as self obsessed (the recent Primal Scream which John had undergone the same year was probably a factor). Nor is Keith particularly vindictive towards those who had crossed his path. He does say on page 40 in regards to money troubles "there is still one guy I'm going to get" - I suppose you can take your pick - Easton or Oldham or Klein who were all being sued at the time.
Keith is very balanced towards Brian - as is Anita who offers useful insights. Keith's views on alcohol and heavy drug dependency are of course of interest in view of what came later. Above all, its his deep love for music - particualrly the Blues that shines through.
Most of the interviews these days are very superficial - probably edited heavily, just PR exercises,so this seems quite a relevation in comparison.
Well done IORR!

And it's only a part of the whole interview. The full version is in Exile, the book sold for blablabla and that only a very happy few have access to

Actually, the interview was I recall also included in one of 2 paperbacks which Rolling Stone published in the mid 70's. I have one of the volumes in my loft somewhere.
Its called The Best of Rolling Stone interviews - I think.
They could be available through Amazon or perhaps Helter Skelter -though of course long out of print. Excellent interviews - the cream of late 60's and early 70's rock's hirearchy.
Most of them might cringe now however at some of the statements they made
