Brian Matthew with classics and rarities from pop's golden decade. The Chronicles remembers when skeletons were found at Stonehenge, The Monkees and some English flying saucers.

The Chronicles looks back to the events of this week during the 1960s: Billy Liar opens in Brighton, skeletons are found at Stonehenge, the first final of cricket's Gillette Cup (which county won?), an advert appears for four actors to star in a new TV series in America about a pop group and flying saucers are found in fields in southern England - but where had they come from?

Including this week tracks from The Migil 5, The Overlanders, Jimi Hendrix, Lesley Gore, Russ Sainty, Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, two versions of a Beach Boys' song, an album track from Elvis, Al Green's version of a Beatles' song and a lost Motown 45.

If it's the Sixties - it's Brian Matthew!
