Twenty odd minutes of Genesis P-Orridge (who in 1981 was still a member of Throbbing Gristle) discussing the history of his relationship with William Burroughs as well as discussing the 'Nothing Here But The Recordings' album released Industrial Records.

There are some snippets of the recording plus Burroughs explaining a little about Hasan-i Sabbah, the 'Old Man of the Hills', drinker and sharer of hashish, founder and leader of 'Ashishin', the 'Holy Killers of Islam'.

I do not know any more about this recording that has laid dormant on an old cassette tape that I just unearthed.

I do not know who the interviewer was who was speaking to Genesis P-Orridge, or the reason for the interview, and whether the interview might have ended up in print, visual or audio media.

Perhaps someone will step up and fill those gaps.

The visuals which accompany this post are just scanned from the book, Re-Search 4/5 which was first published in 1982.

Included within the pages are William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Throbbing Gristle discussing advanced ideas involving the social control process, creativity and the future.

Also within the book are interviews, scarce fiction and essays.

This book is a manual of prophetic ideas and insights.

If you see a copy you should grab it double quick.
