Brian Matthew with the hits from pop's golden decade. The Chronicles remembers Eddie Cochran's death, the Bay of Pigs crisis, the 1961 budget and the Great Train Robbery.

Tracks this week on SOTS include The Animals, Willie Cobbs, Spencer Davis, Gene Pitney, The Uglies, Cupid's Inspiration, Etta James, Bobby Darin, Them and a Double-A-Side from Lonnie Donegan. There's also an anniversary track from Billy Fury. The Three-In-A-Row features songs written by Paul Simon.

The Sixties Chronicles looks back at Eddie Cochran's death 51 years ago, The Bay of Pigs, the 1961 budget, the opening (or not) of 麻豆约拍 2, and the opening (definitely) of Heathrow Terminal 1. And whatever happened to the money stolen in the Great Train Robbery?
