September 29, 200717 yr Author Radio 1: Established 1967 The Times via TRWS Sunday 30/09/07 It’s a big year for Radio 1, with an album to prove it Mark Edwards It’s the kind of concept for an album that makes your heart sink slightly: 40 contemporary artists each covering a song from one of the years of Radio 1’s existence. You can see how Radio 1 might think this album is a great way to mark its 40th birthday, but in combining two of the most potentially disastrous genres � the showbusiness celebration and the covers album � it is surely asking for trouble. Just how bad are these cover versions going to be? Not bad at all, as it turns out. In fact, the album � called Radio 1: Established 1967 � is rather good. These are not the kind of cover versions that get thrown together at sound checks or raced through at the end of a long day in the studio. A lot of thought, hard work and talent has gone into them. The Streets’ take on Elton John’s Your Song starts out hesitantly, but finishes magnificently. Robbie Williams’s version of the Kinks’ Lola is the best vocal performance the man has turned in for many years. The Foo Fighters clearly have a riot turbocharging Wings’ Band on the Run. Lily Allen borrows just a fraction of the ache in Chrissie Hynde’s voice for her typically bouncy run through the Pretenders’ Don’t Get Me Wrong. And if Razorlight covering Sting might be too much ego in one song, if Franz Ferdinand struggle to get to grips with the exact nature of the propulsive force that drives Sound and Vision, the success rate is still unfeasibly high for any project that involves so many disparate talents. Why has such an unwieldy project turned out so well? The clue is in the name: Radio 1. The care and attention the bands have lavished on these superior interpretations is a direct result of the importance of the station. Forty years on, Radio 1 is still a vital force in the dissemination of pop music. This, despite the advent of countless other ways to hear music and the station’s confused and contradictory history. Awash with media as we now are, it’s hard to grasp just what an event the arrival of a new radio station was back on September 30, 1967, when Tony Blackburn played the Move’s Flowers in the Rain (covered on the new album by the Kaiser Chiefs). The BBC had been quite happy with just three stations for the previous 21 years. But Radio 1 was more than just the launch of a new station. It was also the acknowledgment by the Establishment of the huge cultural shift that had taken place in the 1960s: the arrival of youth. That was the theory, anyway. Radio 1 was designed to replace the pirate stations that had been the principal means of hearing pop music � but, unlike the pirates, the BBC laboured under “needle time” restrictions, meaning only a few hours of records could be played each day across all its stations. Thus it was that the supposed voice of youth carried the Jimmy Young show every morning, and boasted presenters such as Bob Holness in the evenings, as much of its output was shared with Radio 2. The station gradually separated from Radio 2 during the 1970s, but by the 1980s, the natural ageing process of its DJs and audience meant that “wonderful Radio 1” had become a family station, and � thanks to Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse’s savagely satirical Smashie and Nicey � eventually turned into something of a joke. The culling of the old-school DJs in 1993 was designed to return the station to its core youth audience. Unfortunately, the decision was taken just as it was becoming obvious that pop and youth were no longer synonymous, that new bands were no longer slagging off old bands as a matter of course, and that kids actually liked the same music as their parents. The station banned the Beatles just as the next wave of bands, led by Oasis, was about to make the Fab Four hip again. It championed Blur, but wouldn’t play the proto-Blur Kinks. If the move was oddly timed, it was doubtless well intentioned. It certainly makes sense for the BBC to have a station that single-mindedly targets an age range that will not just naturally become radio listeners, as previous generations might have done, but will have to be aggressively pursued and won away from other media. In doing this, Radio 1 naturally ceded its place as the biggest station in the land to Radio 2, because the demographic shift that brought Radio 1 into existence now swells Radio 2’s audience � and, unsurprisingly, parts of Radio 2’s output now sound uncannily like the Radio 1 of 30 years ago. Even if Radio 1 has shrunk in size, however, and even if much of its audience remains older than it would ideally like, the station still plays a vital role as the discoverer of new talent and the maker of pop stars. It’s true that Radio 2 can launch a pop career these days; it’s even true that Radio 2 can spot talent ahead of Radio 1 (Amy Winehouse being a recent example); and there are those who accuse Radio 1 of playing it too safe, of jumping on already rolling bandwagons instead of taking chances. But still, every artist on Established 1967 knows that Radio 1, for all its imperfections, remains the nation’s core provider of pop music. That it retains this position in an age of iPods and social-networking sites is no mean achievement. If you go to the station’s website, you can celebrate the anniversary by getting some retro Radio 1 badges � the kind that would once have been thrown into the crowd at a Radio 1 Roadshow; except that now, they’re not real badges, they’re images with which you can “pimp your blog”. The world has changed, but, as Established 1967 illustrates, Radio 1 stays reassuringly the same.
