Скачать или смотреть Theme One by George Martin - Radio 1 Theme Tune 1967

Theme One was a composition written, arranged, recorded and produced by The Beatles' legendary producer, George Martin. It was used as the theme tune for BBC Radio 1 at the opening and closedown of its broadcasts each day.
With the splitting of The BBC Light Programme into BBC Radio 1 on 247 metres medium wave and BBC Radio 2 on 1500 metres long wave and VHF in 1967, new branding was required to identify 'The Happy Sound of Radio 1' which was intended for a younger listener. In reality for a considerable part of the day's output on Radios 1 and 2 was simulcasting of the same programmes.
In our era of 24/7 broadcasting it's perhaps surprising to remember that Radios 1 and 2 shut down at 2am and then reopened at 5am. For many years, between 7pm and 7am the only Radio 1 programming was the John Peel show from 10pm until midnight - and that was hardly pop mainstream!
The photograph of the Radios 1 and 2 disc jockeys was an annual event. The DJs are pictured seated on the steps of All Souls Church, Langham Place, which is adjacent to Broadcasting House. I can't remember all of those faces or names, but many of them are very familiar. Robin Scott who was Radio 1's first controller is in the photo too.
George Martin produced two versions of Theme One. This one, used for Radio 1, was the more funky version. You can hear some very Beatle-esque sounds on the brass and the strings - think of 'Penny Lane' and 'I Am The Walrus' ....
