As it's 5yrs since you posted this I don't know whether you have found any more recordings as you asked? Are you aware of "Rainbow George"? Most of these calls were made from his house when he was a neighbour of Peter Cook. He released an album of these conversations circa 1995 called "Over At Rainbows" Hope this helps in your search.
Peter Cook, was at a low ebb. He was still very much a force in comedy to be reckoned with. But his personal life, his drinking plus 'sweary material' had made him a very edgy comedian. He was thus such a 'hot potato' It was difficult for the BBC, or anyone to employ him directly or even freelance. After the disasterous Revolver; live TV was out of the question. He still had a lot to offer, but could not get to air his material on a suitable vehicle; so he took to doing phone ins. Many people recognised his intonations, plus his love of 'animal based comedy' - hence all the fish gags! The general public did not suss. But Sven and other aliases became a welcome cult comedy fave!
James O'Hanrahan-hanrahan Late 80s early 90s. It went on for some time. Not sure at which point they worked out who Sven really was. I suspect well before the last call. Well, you would wouldnt you...
The "kick it to death" remark is probably my favourite moment of all the 7 clips. 😁
Very Peter Cook line. Obviously. My favourite too! 🤣🤣🤣
"Here I am, I am a man, I have a macintosh"

I can see why him and Chris Morris got on so well. What year did Peter make these calls?
