Sir Tim Rice sits in for Brian Matthew and presents this week's selection of classics and rarities from the golden decade.

Tracks this week include The Symbols, The Merseybeats, The Coasters, The Lovin' Spoonful, Billie Davis, The Archies, The Flee-Rekkers, The Rolling Stones and Billy Fury. There are two bites of Three-In-A-Row to mark the passing of Jerry Leiber and Nicholas Ashford earlier this year. This week's Sixties dance is the Madison - pumps ready? And listen out for a guest appearance of Alan Freeman - alright?

The Chronicles look back to the release of The Alamo and the opening of My Fair Lady, the world's first electronic wristwatch (no springs attached!), The Wednesday Play, a devastating outbreak of foot and mouth disease and an open day at Porton Down in Wiltshire.
