Good news! Rare bird Jan Steffensen was able to digitize the
taped interview of Ian Fleming interviewing Raymond Chandler
on the BBC in 1958. He got it down to about 4.5 megs--the
interview's half an hour--and the sound quality is no worse
than the tape I had.
I put it up on the web site at
http://www.miskatonic.org/rara-avis/Ian-Fleming-Raymond-Chandler.mp3
Someone (I can't remember who, I'm afraid), made an excerpt
of this available a little while ago, and mentioned this
interview is the only known recording of Chandler's voice.
You won't want to miss it.
Thanks to Mr. Steffensen for turning it into an MP3. I'm very
happy to be able to pass it on.
Bill
