Yep, there were quite a few songs that were improved by the phasing/fading on Luxembourg.

Did anyone listen to Voice of Russia to find out what our Government was going to announce in the NEXT week or so.

EDIT - aka Radio Moscow World Service

My uncle was a DJ on MAR.

Granada made a documentary about MAR which was broadcast from The Heights in Moreton.

Theres even a clip of the 80s GPO Vans.

I used to fall asleep most nights listening to Luxemburgh 208. Used to listen to the Top 20 on a Tuesday night. Always had the best music first. I remember Kid Jensen on there, who else DJed for them? Was Noel Edmonds on there? I think Emperor Rosko was on as well.
