Brian Matthew spins the sounds and tells the stories of pop's golden decade. With the hits, almost hits, facts, figures, trivia and the Chronicles of the Sixties.

This week's edition plays tracks by The Grass Roots, Graham Bonney, Kiki Dee, The Hollies with Peter Sellers, The Walker Brothers, Gary Puckett, Julie London, The Bandwagon, and Tommy Roe. The Double-A side is Cliff's first official Double-A, and the Three-in-a-Row is a tribute to the late John Barry.

The Chronicles looks back to the opening of Oh What a Lovely War, the closing of Alcatraz, when the Jules Rimet trophy was stolen in London, when Pink Floyd did three gigs in a day and also marks Alistair Cooke's 1000th Letter from America.
