Actually, as I understand it, a lot of the musicians in the
original "British Invasion" bands were first exposed to American rock&roll
via the US Armed Services radio station in Luxembourg (fortunately, you
didn't have to join up to tune in ;^).

And my German copy of 'Warrior on the Edge of Time' (and a few 7"s)
allegedly came from the Radio Free Europe library, so I have to picture the
oppressed youth of the Eastern Bloc being enticed to defect to the west so
they could see the band performing "Magnu" ...
