LIFE BEGINS AT 40 RadioCentre hosted the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards last week with a special ceremony marking 40 years of the sector. Before the awards, it announced its Roll Of Honour, naming 40 professionals that have changed the shape of the business in the past four decades - and they all turned up for a photo. Pictured above you’ll find the likes of ‘Dr’ Neil Fox (Magic), Lord ‘Jimmy’ Gordon, Terry Smith, Gillian Reynolds (Daily Telegraph), Tim Blackmore (UBC founder), Richard Park (Global Radio), Chris Tarrant, Mark Story, Dee Ford, David Mansfield (RAJAR) and Deanna Hallett (Hallett Research).

FABLED LABELS DINDISC RECORDS
Key Artists: The Rezillos, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Martha and the Muffins
In 1979, Carol Wilson founded Dindisc as a subsidiary of Virgin Records, having previously worked for the company for five years in its publishing department. Wilson was known for her time at Virgin primarily for signing Sting, The Human League and The Buzzcocks. The Portobello Road-based label specialised in new wave material, signing The Rezillos, Martha and the Muffins, and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (pictured), who at the time were supporting Gary Numan. Dindisc also had another 11 post-punk and new wave bands in its catalogue. Each record released by the label naturally featured a Dindisc catalogue
number, going from DIN1, Where’s The Boy For Me by new wave group The Rezillos, and ending with DIN40, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s single, Maid of Orleans. In 1980, the label saw its biggest chart success with Martha and the
Muffins’ Echo Beach, which reached a lofty #5 in the UK chart, as four ODM singles made their way into the Top Ten in the early 1980s. In spite of a never-ending stream of releases, the label only lasted until 1982, after the release of Hot Gossip’s I Don’t Depend on You. Even though Dindisc is long gone, Virgin still issues the label’s records, complete with Dindisc catalogue numbers.
Did You Know? Much of Dindisc’s album art was designed by Peter Saville of Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures fame.
