Brian Matthew selects another two hours of Sixties classics, rarities and album tracks.

Tracks this week from The Band, Betty Moore, The Herd, The Troggs, Them, Connie Stevens, Otis Redding, The Tokens, Russ Sainty, Peter & Gordon, Brenda Lee and The Walker Brothers. Three-In-A-Row features songs which had their original versions in America but which became big UK hits. The 'answer' song comes from Sketer Davis and the Sixties dance this week is the Hitchhike - thumbs up ready!

As we approach the final edition of The Chronicles this penultimate look back at the events remembers what The Beatles were doing around Christmastime, where Cliff was in panto, why Glen Campbell joined The Beach Boys, the death of one of the great voices of radio and television - Richard Dimbleby, how Ready Steady Go! ended and the opening of the film Half A Sixpence. And today is someone special's birthday - his first name is Tommy!
