      There is a good quality recording of Peel from the Radio Luxembourg show at:

http://www.208itwasgreatradioluxembourg.co.uk/sounds/

Scroll down through the audio player - it is sorted alphabetically - look 

for John Peel and listen for

"Dancing Jack Peel" bemoaning being in a women-less environment.

Keep listening to here some Kenny Everett jingles and adverts.
