The introduction of Rodney Slater and Roger Ruskin Spear to the band. Vivian was the dedicated lead singer of the group. Live on tape, Vivian has a horrific coughing fit. On what songs did "Legs" Larry sing lead? Vivian and Larry’s take on the overwhelming international appeal of the song "The Intro and the Outro". How Vivian came to write the song on the London Tube. And more!
