Links To Peel
Peel played Princess Stephanie's single Ouragan in 1986, which became a big hit in mainland Europe, although in the UK, it did not do as well. One Listener wasn't impressed with Peel playing the record, that on his 02 October 1986 (BFBS) show, he responded to listener Andy's request in stop playing the record:


 * "From Andy, in which he says, "Please stop playing awful records by Princess Stephanie of Monaco." I'm a great fan: if she made an LP, you'd hear every track from it on these programmes. Excellent stuff. What an artiste: I keep hoping that she'll come to Britain and record a session for the programmes that I do for the BBC, one of my boyhood ambitions."
