Brian Matthew with another selection of Sixties hits, collectables, facts, figures and trivia. Tracks this week include James Darren, James Brown, Cilla, The Who, Carol Deene, The Beach Boys, Johnny & The Hurricanes, Marsha Hunt, Sam & Dave, Marvin Gaye, P.P.Arnold and Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs.

The Sixties dance craze is The Duck and we give you the steps so you can practise. The answer song is Son In Law, replying to Mother in Law.

The Chronicles looks back to this week during the decade and the first test match to end in a tie, the start of Comedy Playhouse (and what it led to) on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ tv and also the start of The Likely Lads. Bill Wyman joins the Rollin' Stones but Sam Cooke is shot dead and there is a coup in Greece. And a couple of questions to resolve: Thunderbirds the film hits the cinemas but what was the connection with Cliff And The Shads? Which record was the first country record to sell a million? The answers are in this week's edition of Sounds Of The Sixties.
