A very brief extract of Peel introducing "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" from the Beatles' yet to be released landmark album. The Radio London website has a full account of how the station managed to get an exclusive first play of the whole album, including this explanation of how Peel came to be involved:
 * Comments

"Ed Stewart had a sponsored segment of his regular afternoon programme called 'It’s All Happening' that went out every Friday between 1700 and 1800 as a 'What's on in London' guide for trendy youngsters. It was during this part of his show that Stewpot introduced Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, no doubt to the delight of the sponsors. Naturally, everyone aboard the Galaxy had gathered round to listen. The sounds of Sgt Pepper's had such a profound effect on John Peel that he burst into tears, so Ed took pity on him and allowed Peelie to take over the programme."
