Rebel Inc. Sampled: Writing from the Edge, an anthology from Canongate's Rebel Inc. imprint (Edinburgh, Scotland), published around 1998. Likely a promotional-only release, lacking an ISBN — apparently this was distributed by Hot Press magazine (Dublin).

This includes an interview with William S. Burroughs excerpted from A Life in Pieces – Reflections on Alexander Trocchi – edited by Tim Niel and Allan Campbell – at pages 115-121. 

Not in Shoaf.
Not in Schottlaender.
