Staines band Hard-Fi feature with a version of Britney Spears' Toxic, while teen band McFly get serious with The Jam's Town Called Malice.
The album will be released on October 1st through Universal, titled Radio 1 Established 1967.

The first ever DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 was none other than Tony Blackburn.
