Various sites reports that the album will be released on October 1.

Mika and Amy Winehouse are just two of the 40 acts that are recording cover versions to celebrate Radio 1's 40th birthday.
The idea is each band had to pick a hit from the past 40 years.
For example, Robbie Williams got 1970 and has recorded Lola by the Kinks. He did that with Guy Chambers.

I can't stand Natasha Bedingfield, this should be interesting. I am excited for the Groove Armada cover though.
