One Media iP has brought an archive of classic rock interviews to audiences as One Media Rock Star Interviews, a series distributed on the One Media Music YouTube channel and across all major audiobook platforms.

The series draws on an archive of radio, press and promotional interviews recorded over several decades with some of the most influential musicians of the last sixty years, including George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Each interview has been restored from the original recordings. Set-up chatter and technical breaks have been removed. For some interviews, where the interviewer’s questions had been cut from the source material, the team has used modern technology to recreate the interviewer, giving the conversation a natural flow. The result preserves the artists’ own accounts of the songs, albums and moments that defined their careers.

By releasing this material in both video and audio formats, One Media iP is turning a historic archive into an ongoing catalogue of releases that reaches new audiences across multiple platforms.
