A little bonus feature, for anyone who hasn't seen it on Twitter: cribbed from the Buzzjack forum, here's the Radio 1 playlist as published in the early days of their website, in July 1997. The week this applied they hired a new overnight DJ called Chris Moyles, I wonder what happened to him?
How many of these do you remember?
I've also created a Spotify playlist of the tracks, or at least those that were available. Most of the others will show up on here at some point.
Spellings are as I pasted them.
