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

Brian honours listener requests for songs byThe Attack, Barbara Ruskin, Johnny Cash, The Hunters, Patsy Cline, Cliff Richard, and Nick Drake.

This week's 'Playing Hard To Get' track is 'Down Came The Rain' by Mr Murray, which to date is one of the most requested tracks on the show due to the fact so few copies of the original song can be found in circulation.
