Brian Matthew returns to present this week's selection of Sixties hits, rarities, facts, figures and trivia.

Tracks this week include Connie Francis, Adam, Mike & Tim, The Marauders, Elvis, Hank Locklin, Miss Toni Fisher, Michael Holliday, The Moody Blues, Johnny Burnette, Herb Alpert, PJ Proby, Carole King and The Casuals.

The Sixties dance is one that was quite difficult to execute because of the speed and was like an early line dance - The Hully Gully.

The Chronicles looks back at the events of this week across the decade and includes the first kidney transplant, Maigret on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ TV and The Men From The Ministry on radio, the theft of the Star of India, the launch of the mini skirt (which model first wore it?), the release of To Sir With Love and the close of the famous Windmill Theatre.
