Brian Matthew kicks off your weekend with some classic tracks from the 1960s. The featured artists include Manfred Mann, the Little Darlings, Elvis and Maxine Brown.

Tune in for another dose of classic 60s tracks, and some forgotten tunes from one of the finest decades in music so far.

We'll be giving you a double whammy of Manfred Mann this week, playing both the A and B side of their 1966 release, Semi Detached Suburban My James, in our Both Sides of the Record feature.

We're Playing Hard To Get with The Little Darlings, a Birmingham based band that never quite got the recognition they deserved back in 1964.

And there are plenty of the usual avid requests this week, bringing you music from the likes of The Beatstalkers, The Beatles, The Mamas & The Papas, The Nocturnes, Elvis and Maxine Brown.
