Joe Jackson’s uncut interview from The Ghost of Richard Harris film. The best interview about Harris ever?

The 2022 documentary, The Ghost of Richard Harris, now showing on Sky Arts and elsewhere and nominated for an IFTA award, came into being because its director, Adrian Sibley, became aware of the taped interviews I did with Richard from 1987-2001. He decided to use them to voice the 'ghost', and this adds an extra depth to the film, said the Guardian newspaper. I also am an associate producer of the film and one of its interviewees alongside the likes of Russell Crowe and Vanessa Redgrave. Aye, but there's the rub, to quote Shakespeare. The interview I did with Adrian for the film lasted two hours, and only two minutes were used. That's the way things can happen in the movie-making business. Even Richard once told me that some of his finest scenes in films ended up on the cutting-room floor. And so, I recorded the full interview, and this is the first podcast based on that recording. The interview was done after my book Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven, was finished but not yet published.
