Brian Matthew plays music from the likes of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Edwin Starr, the Dells, Anthony Newley and Sandy Nelson, to name but a few.

This week on the show Brian Matthew plays music from the likes of Gary Lewis & The Playboys, Edwin Starr, The Dells, Anthony Newley and Sandy Nelson, to name but a few.

As always, Brian will be honouring the usual "avid" requests, and amongst those there's a rare track from a band that some of you may remember - The Eccentrics.

Back in 1965 the band managed to get hold of the Carol King and Gerry Goffin penned track What You Got - and it was the first and last of its kind, because they never released anything again. So, if you're having difficulty placing them, then that might be why.

There are plenty more requests this week, and all the usual features including a Playing Hard To Get track by Chic Graham & The Coasters.
