Title: Archie Bell & Drells: Interview [Side A]
Identifier: da_00094
Creator: Vorda, Allan (interviewer)
Contributor: Bell, Archie (interviewee), Gibbs, Charles (interviewee)
Dates: circa 1987-1988
Resource: Allan Vorda music history collection
Description: Side A of interview with Texas musician Archie Bell and Drells bandmember Charles Gibbs. Covers the recording, release and reception of the song "Tighten Up," early band members, Archie Bell’s time in the military, and touring. Digitized from Memorex dB Series 90-minute cassette played on Sony TC-WE475. Sound on recording begins speeding up at 35:00, becoming nearly unintelligible by 40:00. This suggests that batteries ran low on original recording cassette deck, and that this cassette was recorded from an earlier generation. Pub version attempts to correct pitch and improve intelligibility.
