REMEMBERING ALAN: Ben McCormick & Peter Thomas | ENCORE!

Season 5 · Episode 1

Saturday, February 21, 2026 • Duration 46:51

SHOW NOTES:

Recorded: 24 Jan 2026 Released to Platinum subscribers: 31 Jan 2026.

Presenter: George Matlock, Executive Producer: George Matlock

Welcome to Season 5 of the show, rebranded as ENCORE! on REJ.World.

FULL EPISODE: Alan McCormick was a very popular Elton John fan who set up Wrap It Up!, the mail order service which became a lifeline for Elton fans to buy Elton music and memorabilia before the internet was even born.

Along with guest Peter Thomas, Alan campaigned for more of Elton's music to be made available. Peter has claimed that a little over 50 percent has ever been released.

When this show is released on Silver on 7 February 2026 it will mark a decade since we lost Alan after a short illness. Sadly, Alan never saw a lot of rare items on general release with the Jewel Box of 2019.

Alan's musician son Ben McCormick joins Peter to discuss Alan's life and how the vast stock of Elton music was cleared - it took 12 months after valuations.

Alan was also a personal friend of presenter George. Hear how they worked together in this special edition as Radio Elton John enters its 5th year on air!

SHOW NOTES:

Recorded: 16 Dec 2025 Released to Platinum subscribers: 24 Dec 2025

Presenter: George Matlock, Executive Producer: George Matlock

The holiday edition of Saturday Night’s Alright (for podcasting) is a real treat. We feature recently released EP The Gus Dudgeon Sessions 1975-2025 from one of Rocket Records’ earliest signings, Maldwyn Pope, as well as REJ.World veteran Phil “Phlop” Greenfield join George Matlock. We hear how Davey Johnstone arrived with a truck of instruments to record for Mal, how Elton mentored the “16-year-old failure”, and how Phlop fell out with John Reid but still delivered the master tape of Tommy to Eel Pie Island – wrapped in kitchen foil to avoid crude airport x-ray security detectors. Pinner also deliver a double-bill of songs fit for the season!

The show is on Platinum from 24 December 2025, and free on Silver from 27 December at 1800 GMT. Merry Christmas!

STEVE BROWN (JACKY BROWN) | ENCORE!

Season 4 · Episode 10

Saturday, December 6, 2025 • Duration 01:07:54

SHOW NOTES:

Recorded: 10 Nov 2025 Released to Platinum subscribers: 29 Nov 2025

Presenter: George Matlock, Executive Producer: George Matlock

Know your ABCs? Did you know that Elton John worked with two producers with the same name? Steve Brown. We speak to wife Jacky Brown about Steve who cleaned Nigel Olsson's drum kit in his own bedroom and was shown the light by Gus Dudgeon, before he went on to work on landmark tracks like Roy Wood's I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday and produced Wham's Club Tropicana. His first production was the first single from 1980s stars ABC. Steve produced Manic Street Preachers and also worked with Dusty Springfield, whom Elton worshipped in the 1960s, as well as The Cult, Peters & Lee, The Pogues, Alison Moyet, Boomtown Rats, Status Quo, Thin Lizzy, and Sham 69. An amazing journey, thank you Jacky.

Extra news: The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary - the rock classic, was recorded at Olympic studios in Barnes, south west London and produced by Steve Brown. Elton also made his demos for Elton John (the black album) at Olympic in 1969.
