The [[compilation album]] '''''Radio 1 Established 1967''''' is a collection of covers especially recorded for Radio 1 by a number of artists. The album celebrates the 40th [[anniversary]] of [[BBC Radio 1]]. There are 40 songs recorded by 40 different artists (a little bit more than 40, since there are some duets). Each artist was given a year, and were allowed to cover a song from that year. The only exception to this was the [[Kaiser Chiefs]] – since they were given 1967, they had to cover "[[Flowers In The Rain]]" by [[The Move]], which was the first song played on Radio 1. The album was released on 1 October 2007. [[The Raconteurs]] appear as the only band to cover a song, and have one of their own songs covered. |

It is to be noted that not all the years correspond to the original year of release, e.g. 1968, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1997 and 1999. The songs were, however, remixed and/or re-released in those years so the [[fudge factor]] fits. |
