BBC Radio 1: 40 anos, 40 covers

Como soará Sound and Vision, de David Bowie, pelos Franz Ferdinand? Ou ainda: Crazy for You, de Madonna, pelos Groove Armada? Poderemos sabê-lo muito em breve, já que esses são dois dos temas a incluir numa colectânea a ser editada pela BBC Radio 1. Trata-se de uma edição que reúne 40 covers, tantas quantos os anos que a estação comemora a 30 de Setembro.
