He's the chap to do that.' So they came to me - that's to say Garnett and Battersby came to me - and asked if I'd do the film. And John Peel had no hesitation in saying, 'Ah, Ron Geesin. And this film, Tony Garnett, the producer, and Roy Battersby, the director, one of them, I think it was Tony Garnett, happened to meet John Peel and he said we're doing this exciting new film, dah, dah, dah - and who you do think is hot these days doing that kind of thing.

So Roger remade all his stuff for the record.įS: So at the beginning, you didn't realize there was going to be a record?

So when it came to make the album, we decided to remake a lot of stuff. So his stuff on the film was fairly raw - clearly rough. So he just grabbed a day or two here and there. RG: We made our stuff separately, simply because it was tight. My understanding is that you and Roger Waters mostly worked independently.
