30th September 1967 - in answer to the popularity but predominant silencing of the pirates, the BBC did away with the Light Programme and Tony Blackburn launched Radio 1 with 'The Move' and 'Flowers In The Rain'. To commemorate the 35th birthday of 'Wonderful Radio 1', we feature a vast array of archive presenter photographs of people like DLT, Simon Bates, Steve Wright, Jackie Brambles and more ... and we feature items of text and scanned images from Radio 1's very first magazine, from around 1975/1976.
Were the following items actual magazine advertisements or a BBC plug? You decide as we feature some of those featured in our 1976 magazine....

You can read this ad yourself - just one word in summary - heritage! (Who dares write to the PO BOX address?)
This plug (strangely featuring Tony Hatch) had a 'cut-out coupon' underneath to order from Everest Books. The Emperor's Book stated at the top 'The most comprehensive book of it's kind every written', that quote by Derek Chinnery, the then head of Radio 1.
