Radio Elton John

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

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.

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.

The show is available on Rej.world on Platinum since 31 January 2026, and will be free on Silver on 7 February at 1800 GMT.
