Brian Matthew selects more classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, with all the facts and figures and stories behind the songs from the 60s.

This week it's Nat King Cole getting a double spin and Brian plays both the A & B side of his 1962 hit 'Ramblin' Rose' in our Both Sides of the Record feature.

We'll be Playing Hard To Get with Robert John, and his often overlooked 1968 release 'If You Don't Want My Love'.

As always, Brian will be honouring listener request and this week the music is provided by talents of The Beach Boys, Dusty Springfield, Gene Vincent, Ned Miller, Mason Williams, Joe Brown and The Blues Project.
