    REMEMBERING ALAN: Ben McCormick & Peter Thomas | ENCORE!
    Feb 21 2026

    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!
