New Musical Express (September 4, 1982)
A rather antagonistic interview with Green. He comes across ironically as more marginalized and frustratingly misunderstood than if Scritti were to have remained a 'marginal' punk band. The article is also at James Lawrence's Unofficial UK Scritti Politti web-site.
