Brian Matthew kick-starts the weekend with hits, facts and obscurities from the 60s, including a double spin for the Mamas and the Papas in Both Sides of the Record.

Listener requests this week bring tracks from The Honeycombs, The Zombies, The Koobas, Terry Stafford, The Small Faces and The Womenfolk. The Mamas & The Papas are getting a double spin as the focus of our Both Sides of the Record feature, and Brian will also be playing a 1968 offering with a classical twist from The Los Pop Tops.
