  This article is not in AoF's collection. It is rumored to be the first ever Scritti Politti interview. The publication is British and at the time still an irregularly published fanzine started by Tony Fletcher. (It subsequently found proper funding and two of the later articles are in the AoF collection. Unfortunately, the magazine folded in the late 80's.) If you have or can locate this article, please e-mail AoF. Thanks.

  It's a long (6,000 words) article in which "Green separates himself from the art world and sketches the ideas which informed the early Scritti." The Green man himself supposedly had a hand in editing the article.
