Yes I have. Had a quick listen through. Eric seems in good spirits and keen to tell his tale although he has little memory for the specific details and sometimes gets his information mixed up. They talk a lot about going to America for the first time. The interviewer is typically poorly researched though - he asks Eric what he thought when they recorded 'Have You Ever Loved Somebody' and starts with 'Woman I Love' and asks him of his memories of that!!

Yes, not much research done by the interviewer.
Eric thought that Yes I Will was written by Graham, Allan and Tony for his wedding!
Eric also mentioned that The Hollies were kept off the number one spot a few times by The Beatles. This wasn't the case. From memory, Billy J Kramer kept Just One Look off the top, the Walker Brothers held off I Can't Let Go (although it did make top spot in the NME Charts), The Four Tops prevented Stop Stop Stop being top and Paper Lace did the same with The Air That I Breathe.
I did like the story though about Eric having to pick up Sandie Shaw at Manchester Rail Station for a recording of Top Of The Pops. He was told that he would recognise her as she wouldn't be wearing any shoes!
