Brian Matthew, the voice of sixties popular music, presents the programme for all fans of the decade. With facts, figures and trivia as well as the Chronicles of the Sixties.

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. Tracks this week include: Little Anthony & The Imperials, Percy Evanston, The Mops, The Isley Brothers, Neil Sedaka, The Vernons Girls, Cilla and Dusty. The EP selection focuses on Woolworths' Embassy label and a terrific Beatles cover by the Typhoons. There's also the theme music to the Radio 1 show 'Scene and Heard' - but what is it and who recorded it? With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. The Three-In-A-Row plays tracks on the President label from 1967. The Sixties Chronicles, digging into the archives for the events of this coming week during the 1960's, looks at lots of Beatles anniversaries - including their rejection by...the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, how the Everly brothers signed up for the army, and the assassination of JFK.
Sounds Of The Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of sixties shows.
