Unknown Artist Virgin Interview Comedy Promotional 1979

Totally clear flexi, no printing whatsoever. This was part of a promo package (inc 44-page labels-catalogue) issued to promote Virgin/FrontLine releases. The catalogue and flexi were presented in a slip-cover suggesting a title of 'The Virgin Record'. As the most recent releases in the catalogue appear to be from 1979, that's presumably when it was issued.

The flexi itself features a comedic (supposedly) spoken-word quiz between Brian (Interviewer) and Nigel (Interviewee). The quiz involves either naming the artist based on album title(s) or vice-versa; naming album(s) by a specific artist. At the end the question is on which record label are all the artists/releases on?

Artists mentioned in the quiz (in order):
Ashra, Peter Baumann, Captain Beefheart, Kevin Coyne (and Dagma Krause), Julie Covington, Derek And Clive,
Devo, The Mighty Diamonds, Edgar Froese, The Gladiators, Henry Cow, Gong, Steve Hillage, Interview, Magazine,
The Members, Noel, The Motors, Mike Oldfield, Penetration, Sex Pistols, The Records, The Residents (with Snakefinger),
Skids, Sparks, Peter Tosh, U-Roy, XTC and Tangerine Dream.

Running time approximate timed from 33 ⅓ RPM playback (not listed on the release).
