Split Enz Interview Sound Unlimited Guest Comperes Edition 1979

I was the Producer of the TV show Sound Unlimited/Sounds compered by Donnie Sutherland. In 1979 we had a contest with TV Guide magazine to select guest comperes for the show to feature their favourite songs and to interview the artist/s of their choice. One of the winners was Sandra Byers who chose to interview Split Enz. Here she is talking to Neil and Tim Finn.

These dudes were ahead of the time.
They had 80’s hair in the 70’s.

The video has an 80s vibe honestly

[@GoodMrDawes]

Love the big brother, little brother dynamic.

[@richalderson6069]

Classy pop music indeed!

[@welovedonnie]

Brilliant upload Les Cook. Please keep them coming.
To be clear, this is not Donnie Sutherland making this comment but the owner of his youtube channel.
I have been collecting episodes of Sounds from Donnie himself for roughly 15 years, but it's the 70's stuff I have had a keen eye on all along.
I'd just like to express my appreciation for all this wonderful stuff that I was too young to see as a baby.
Keep up the good work.

Little did they know that True Colours would go on to be such a classic album......I Got you, Dirty Creature, I hope I never, Poor Boy. Awesome album.

[@chrisrichardson6482]

Aren't they talking about Frenzy?

[@rarby00]

Did you say Dirty Creature?

[@debonaire_nerd]

Filmed back in the day when Neil and Tim used to argue over who got the top bunk

[@nongthip]

I wonder if they enjoyed hearing Herb Alpert's "Rise" playing nonstop in the background during the interview. ;-)

Neil Finn bandmember of Fleetwood Mac.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

NZ TV was and is so hocky, was this girl on Work Experience?

Neil looks about 12

[@erikalesi7603]

Is Neil missing a tooth?

[@Truthmoses]

yes...but he plugged the gap with a paper cup.

[@nongthip]

Actually one of Neil's nicknames back then was "fang".
