Aynsley I too have a hazy memory about this subject, and plenty of other things!A question for the many Radio Luxembourg fans on this forum. I recall record labels purchasing 30-minute slots featuring well-known UK DJs. That was one of the downsides of that particular business model —if you were listening to the Pye segment, you got only Pye releases. But didn't RL also have some on-site disk jockeys resident in Luxembourg? My memory is hazy on this. After RL came all the off-shore pirate ships, then attempts to broadcast from Monte Carlo and even Andorra. They've all become confused in my memory. Radio London, Radio Caroline, Radio Essex, Radio Geronimo and several others. Wasn't Essex the one that took over an abandoned WWII watch-tower?
I do remember Pete Murray having slots on Luxembourg. Presumably, the actual magical music, must have been my sole selfish focus!
