Focus Features

When FilmInFocus interviewed Richard Curtis about the fabulous 60s era music in his new movie Pirate Radio (you can read the entire conversation here) one thing in particular jumped out at us from what he said. He mentioned that during the filming of the movie, he “gave all the main players an iPod with eight playlists with 30 songs that each of the DJs would play.” This got us very intrigued, so we asked whether we could get our hands on those playlists and – lo and behold – they were very generously given to us. So, accordingly, we now can share them with you below.
