Feb 20, 2015, 06:06 PM

The BRITS were in their infancy when this awards ceremony was broadcast on Radio 1 and BBC1 on 11 February 1985, although back then they were referred to as the BPI Awards and the programme itself was billed as The British Record Industry Awards.

In this recording you’ll hear Noel Edmonds introducing proceedings from The Grosvenor House Hotel in London, award winners Alison Moyet, Sade, Holly Johnson and Prince. The opening welcome for radio listeners comes from Mike Smith and on voiceover duty is Tommy Vance.
