Brian Matthew spins records from pop's golden decade. The Chronicles remembers pirate station Radio Sutch, John and Yoko's 'bed-in' and Sir Henry Cooper fighting Cassius Clay.

Brian Matthew plays tracks from The Ivy League, The Left Bank, Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames, The New Vaudeville Band, Helen Shapiro, Marty Robbins, The Isley Brothers, The Rockin' Berries and a rarely-heard Elvis track. There's also a Double-A side from Edwin Starr.

The Sixties Chronicles looks back to the third pirate radio station to go on air - Radio Sutch, new savings bonds - note the interest rate, the Beatles at the Beeb, a strike at British Leyland, the John and Yoko 'bed-in' and what happened when the late Sir Henry Cooper was stopped in the sixth round.
