VA – Radio One Established 1967
On 30 September 1967, the BBC launched a new popular music radio station to compete with the illegal pirate stations that had a monopoly on playing new music. Since that time Radio 1 has become a world famous name, championing new music of all genres and establishing itself as a home to both the popular and the innovative. To celebrate this 40th anniversary, Radio 1 have asked 40 of today’s biggest acts to cover 40 tracks from each year of its history. This album is the result.

Starting with probably the UK’s biggest indie act, Kaiser Chiefs, covering the first track ever to be played on Radio 1, The Move’s ‘Flowers In The Rain’, running all the way through to the modern jazz-folk-soul superstar Corrine Bailey-Rae’s version of The Raconteurs’ 2006 hit ‘Steady As She Goes’.
Taking its cue from last year’s successful ‘Live Lounge’, this album compiles exclusively recorded tracks of classic songs re-imagined by today’s biggest stars.

one of the nicest surprises of a dark snowy day a few weeks ago. remakes like Maximo Park’s of Like I Love You, The Kooks’ of All that she wants, The Streets’ of Your song and so much more. 2 fun-fun cds.
