Kid Jensen
Steve Turner, Beat Instrumental, January 1972
KID JENSEN IS probably more able to make or break an album than any other radio jockey in the free world. His two-hour show is transmitted from Radio Luxembourg every night of the week and beams across the world from Vietnam to Alaska. This means that Jensens Dimension reaches more people than any other single medium devoted to rock music, whether it be a T.V. show or a music paper.
