Radio Elton John
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 available on Rej.world on Platinum since 24 December 2025, and free on Silver since 27 December at 1800 GMT. Merry Christmas!
