Like [[Radio Stations in GTA 1|radio stations]] in the [[Grand Theft Auto 1|original Grand Theft Auto]], the '''[[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]] expansion packs''' for the game feature '''a range of different radio stations''' which are randomly selected whenever the player enters any vehicle. A police radio band is also included exclusively for emergency vehicles. The technical aspects of radio stations are identical as with GTA 1's, and as such, the games also support [[Radio Stations in GTA 1#Notes|custom CD audio tracks]] the same manner. | |||
== Radio stations == | |||
When originally developed for GTA London 1969, the radio stations were specifically created to reflect the late-1960s era in which the game takes place, covering period genres, including [[wp:reggae|reggae]]. | |||
The stations earn the honor of being the first in the series to use real-life music from the period alongside several stations featuring only in-house developed tracks. The vast bulk of soundtrack music were taken from Italian films from the late-1960s and early 1970s, and performed primarily by [[wp:Riz Ortolani|Riz Ortolani]], [[wp:Francesco De Masi|Francesco De Masi]] and [[wp:Alessandro Alessandroni|Alessandro Alessandroni]], and [[wp:Piero Umiliani|Piero Umiliani]] and [[wp:Gianfranco Reverberi|Gianfranco Reverberi]]. | |||
Although GTA London 1969 and GTA London 1961 are shown to take place 8 years apart, the radio stations and their playlists are inexplicably unchanged. | |||
